President Joe Biden maintained a distance from the courtroom during his son Hunter's trial on felony gun charges to avoid any appearance of interference. However, following the jury's guilty verdict, Biden expressed his love and pride for his son, emphasizing Hunter's journey through addiction and recovery.
The White House promptly canceled press briefings and announced that Biden would spend the evening in Delaware after the verdict. Concerns arose among Biden's aides and allies about the emotional toll the verdict might take on the president, who has faced personal losses intertwined with his public life.
