A report from Politico states that Biden is claiming privately that Hunter is a victim of a weaponized justice system.
As Slay News first reported on Tuesday, a Delaware jury found Hunter Biden guilty of all three gun charges.
The president feels guilty over Hunter's legal predicament, they told the outlet.
Hunter refused to accept a gun-related plea deal from the government in 2023.
The offer of the gun plea deal came after his "Sweetheart" plea deal collapsed under judicial scrutiny.
The judge characterized it as "Atypical" and "Not straightforward." As Slay News reported at the time, prosecutors had secretly added a clause that would have given Hunter Biden blanket immunity for all crimes, including any future charges.
The deal collapsed when the judge scrutinized the deal and raised concerns about the immunity clause.
The "Sweetheart" deal came with a special agreement to wipe a felony gun violation from his record.
The deal gave Hunter the option to plead guilty to not paying taxes on more than $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018.
Under the deal, he would have received probation rather than jail time.
Following the "Sweetheart" plea deal debacle, the government offered Hunter a second plea deal related to gun charges.
