‘Much More Serious’: Jonathan Turley Says Hunter Biden’s Conviction Is Only Beginning Of Legal Woes

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said that Hunter Biden could face much more substantial criminal issues, despite being found guilty on federal gun charges.

Biden was convicted on three felony counts in connection with the 2018 purchase of a .38-caliber revolver Tuesday after jurors deliberated for slightly over three hours. Turley said that a criminal referral by the House of Representatives for perjury combined with the tax case faced by President Joe Biden’s son were pending.

“His counsel has got to refocus on that tax case, they are going into that case now with a convicted felon,” Turley told “Faulkner Focus” host Harris Faulkner. “Now, these are very different types of claims, but there is a third front developing. Congress just referred, what I consider to be a very strong case, for a perjury investigation of Hunter Biden after his testimony before Congress.”

“Now the expectation is that Garland is going to basically scuttle that referral, but the problem is that the House seems to have Hunter Biden dead rights… on those perjury claims,” Turley continued. “It is hard to see how what he said before Congress was true. It is a much more serious offense. It is currently sitting on the desk of Merrick Garland.”

Turley noted that the tax case carried “much more serious” charges, including ties to the Biden family’s business dealings.

Earlier Tuesday, Turley said that an effort by Biden’s attorneys to secure “nullification” of the felony charges was “overcome” by the jurors.
