EXCERPT:
REID: “Hunter has been transparent about his struggles, including his battle with addiction. And like millions of Americans, he continues to struggle, including with the trauma of losing his mother, sister, and brother. Two weeks ago, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to a pair of tax-related misdemeanors tied to a probe and to his taxes and foreign business dealings, bringing a close to a five-year criminal investigation started during the Trump Administration with a Trump-appointed prosecutor. President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have repeatedly said that they love and support their son, while acknowledging that he has made mistakes. Republicans are hardly satisfied with any of that and have done everything in their power to use Hunter Biden’s past and his struggle with addiction as an anchor to try to drag down his father. Angry that their guy, Trump, was indicted for obscenely brazen criminality, Republicans have vowed an eye for an eye.”
