It was these choices and the combination of guns and drugs that made his conduct dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond, no one in this country is above the law,\u201d he added. \u201cEveryone must be accountable for their actions, even this defendant. However, Hunter Biden should be no more accountable than any other citizen convicted of this same conduct. The prosecution has been and will continue to be committed to this principle and to the principles of federal prosecution in carrying out its responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House scrapped today&#8217;s press briefing after a federal grand jury convicted Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden&#8217;s son, on three felony gun charges.
