Biden defends son ahead of possible tax charges

President Biden defended his son Hunter on Friday as federal prosecutors reportedly neared a decision on whether to charge the president's son with tax and firearms violations, which would come following the conclusion of a years-long investigation at the behest of Republicans. In an interview with Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC's The 11th Hour, Biden said, "My son has done nothing wrong," adding, "I trust him. I have faith in him." When Ruhle asked Biden if he was concerned about his son's charges potentially affecting his presidential campaign, Biden reiterated that he stood by Hunter and that it "[makes] me feel proud of him." The president's son has denied any wrongdoing, saying he acted "legally and appropriately."
