Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner turned to Fox Justice Correspondent David Spunt immediately after news broke on Tuesday that Hunter Biden had been found guilty on three gun-related charges. Spunt was inside the courtroom when the verdict was read.
“So, David, give us a playback, if you will, of what it was like to be there?” asked Faulkner.
“Harris quite an extraordinary moment when the son of the sitting president of the United States was found guilty,” Spunt replied, adding:
It happened very quickly. Hunter Biden showed no emotion. He remained tense. He was looking still. He patted Abby Lowell on the back as if to thank him, even though this did not go their way. Noticeable, the first lady was not in the courtroom when the verdict was read, and she hastily just walked in with some aides a few moments ago into the courthouse to be with her son, but she was not even in the room when the verdict was read.Valerie Biden Owens, the president’s sister, she also was not in the room.

Perhaps we may hear something from his attorney, Abbe Lowell.I also want to note very quickly, Special Counsel David Weiss, who brought this case, was not in the courtroom as well. So it just kind of gives you an idea. A lot of people were not prepared for this. The first lady was not. Yeah, the first lady was not in here.
