00:00Earlier today, Hunter Biden was convicted of two counts of lying on a form submitted to a federal firearms dealer
00:07about his addiction or use of crack cocaine and possessing a firearm while a user or addict.
00:17No one in this country is above the law.
00:20Everyone must be accountable for their actions, even this defendant.
00:24However, Hunter Biden should be no more accountable than any other citizen convicted of this same conduct.
00:34The prosecution has been and will continue to be committed to this principle.
00:40This case was about the illegal choices defendant made while in the throes of addiction,
00:46his choice to lie on a government form when he bought a gun and the choice to then possess that
00:52gun.
00:53It was these choices and the combination of guns and drugs that made his conduct dangerous.
