WILMINGTON, Del. — Former President Donald Trump’s campaign on Tuesday said that Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial was nothing more than a distraction from the wrongdoings of his father, President Biden.

Without addressing the guilty verdict against Hunter Biden, the Trump campaign accused the Biden family of committing crimes.

“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine,” said Trump campaign spokeswoman Karline Leavitt.

“Crooked Joe Biden’s reign over the Biden Family Criminal Empire is all coming to an end on November 5th, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit,” she said.

Earlier Tuesday, Hunter Biden was convicted of three felonies stemming from purchasing a handgun while addicted to crack cocaine. He is the first son of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime.

Mr. Trump last month was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to alleged mistresses.
