George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley claimed Monday that Hunter Biden “blown away” attorney Abby Lowell's “proposed defense” by discussing his sobriety with Axios. .
biden was suggested He told the outlet that his sobriety will be the key to defeating former President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election and the “future of democracy.” He is charged with three counts of making false statements and knowingly purchasing a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018 while under the influence of drugs.
“He thinks so [Biden] We should worry less about democracy and more about our freedoms,” Turley said on “American Report.” “I think the problem with the Axios interview is that he blew off his attorney Abby Lowell's proposed defense. Lowell could argue that it was during a period of sobriety that he falsely signed the statement. He disputes this, saying that the first day he got sober was actually the day before his father announced his candidacy for president. That was at his wedding, eight months after he signed that document. It was the day of.”
“So he doesn't leave much runway for the defense, and, oddly enough, Bret, are they going to challenge this law that Joe Biden has been championing, or are they going to take the NRA's argument? Does it seem to be heading in the direction that his Second Amendment rights are being violated? Either way, it's a pretty otherworldly position for Biden,” Turley concluded.
In July 2023, the younger Biden swore in federal court that he had been sober since June 1, 2019, according to Axios. He originally cited May 17, 2019, the day before his father officially launched his campaign in Philadelphia, as his sobriety date.

He married documentary filmmaker Melissa Cohen during the first week of his father's candidacy, which helped him recover from his addiction, Axios reported.
