<p>For the first time, President <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=Joe+biden&;post_type=post" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Joe Biden</strong></a> responded to reports that federal prosecutors might have enough evidence to charge his son <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=hunter+biden&;post_type=post" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hunter Biden</strong></a> for tax crimes and perjury after he lied about his history of drug abuse during a gun purchase.</p>
<p>Hunter Biden bought the gun during a time when he has publicly acknowledged he was struggling with an addiction to crack cocaine, and now is under investigation because federal law requires gun buyers to swear that they are addicted to drugs, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/11/politics/hunter-biden-joe-biden-cnntv/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>CNN</strong></a>.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">President Biden Says He&#8217;s &#8220;Proud Of Son&#8221; For Overcoming, Battling Drug Addiction In Light Of Possible Charges Against Hunter</h3>
<p>In an interview with the network&#8217;s Jake Tapper, the President said he was proud of his son for confronting and overcoming his battle with addiction, and &#8220;establishing a new life.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“This is a kid who got – not a kid, he’s a grown man – he got hooked on, like many families have had happen, hooked on drugs. He’s overcome that. He’s established a new life,” Biden said.</p></blockquote>

<p>The President went on to say that Hunter&#8217;s 2021 memoir &#8220;Beautiful Things,&#8221; telling Tapper he was &#8220;proud of him.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“I’m confident that he is – what he says and does are consistent with what happens,” the President said. “And for example, he wrote a book about his problems and was straightforward about it. I’m proud of him.”</p></blockquote>
<p>President Biden specifically spoke on the gun purchase incident, saying &#8220;didn&#8217;t know anything about it.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“This thing about a gun – I didn’t know anything about it. But turns out that when he made application to purchase a gun, what happened was he – I guess you get asked – I don’t guess, you get asked a question, are you on drugs, or do use drugs?’ He said no. And he wrote about saying no in his book,” Biden said.</p></blockquote>
