President Biden's relationship with Attorney General Merrick Garland has grown icy and he's reportedly expressed guilt over Hunter Biden's legal problems, suggesting to people close to him that his son wouldn't be facing indictments if he didn't run for president in 2020, according to a new report.
"The 81-year-old president has suggested to close associates that if he hadn't run in 2020, Hunter wouldn't be facing criminal prosecutions or be the target of daily stories by conservative media — all while trying to stay sober and rebuild his life," the Axios report read, in a piece headlined, "Biden's Hunter trigger: President feels guilty, sad, angry when son attacked."
The outlet noted few of the president's aides "feel free to discuss Hunter's situation with the president" and those who do are cautious because it could anger him.
