Legal analyst Jonathan Turley ripped into Hunter Biden after the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of upholding a federal law blocking individuals convicted of domestic violence from owning firearms. Turley pointed out that this decision dealt a blow to Hunter Biden’s efforts to appeal his conviction on three firearms charges stemming from lying about his drug use on a federal form for a gun purchase.
Turley mockingly highlighted the irony of Hunter Biden’s failed attempt to argue that laws barring drug users from owning firearms violate the Second Amendment by comparing it to a botched football play. He suggested that Hunter Biden’s legal strategy was akin to missing a crucial Hail Mary pass, ultimately resulting in a spectacular failure.

In addition to the firearms charges, Hunter Biden is also facing a series of tax-related misdemeanors and felonies in California federal court. Despite his not guilty plea, the situation seems to be spiraling out of control for the President’s troubled son, with a looming trial expected to shed more light on his mounting legal troubles.
