After a surprise development in a Delaware court Wednesday in which President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, entered a not guilty plea after an earlier plea deal was rejected by a judge, the White House issued a statement, calling it a “personal matter” that’s being handled “independently” by the Justice Department.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a briefing as the court hearing was wrapping up that the president supports his son as he faces federal charges on alleged tax and gun crimes.
