- Biden Family Connection: While Hunter Biden faces scrutiny over tax and gun charges, there is no tangible evidence connecting President Joe Biden to any of these controversies according to Moskowitz. Notwithstanding, Republicans have tried to connect the two by referencing “the Bidens” or “the Biden family.”
- GOP Messaging: The messaging from Republicans appears to equate President Biden’s situation with former President Donald Trump’s legal challenges. The strategy seems to paint both figures with the same brush, although the nature and depth of the allegations differ.
- Democrats’ Stance: The Democratic perspective stresses the rule of law, suggesting that if Hunter Biden is found guilty, he should face consequences, emphasizing that no one is above the law.
- David Weiss’s Role: Despite the controversy around his appointment, David Weiss, a Trump appointee, is set to lead the probe into Hunter Biden’s affairs.
