Former federal prosecutor predicts Hunter Biden will get prison time | 11 June 2024 | A former federal prosecutor in a Tuesday interview predicted Hunter Biden will get prison time, following the guilty verdict in the federal gun case against the president's son. "I do. I do," Thomas Dupree said in a CBS News interview, when asked whether he thinks Hunter Biden will go to prison. Dupree, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP in Washington, said he does not expect the sentence to be "unduly severe," noting Hunter Biden has not previously been convicted of a crime. "Really, he’s effectively a first-time offender," Dupree said. "I suspect that the judge will look somewhat sympathetically on this case."
