FactCheck (CNN June 11, 2024): A federal jury has convicted Hunter Biden on all three federal felony gun charges he faced, concluding that he violated laws meant to prevent drug addicts from owning firearms. The conviction marks the first time a president's immediate family member has been found guilty of a crime during their father's term in office, though his crimes predate Joe Biden's tenure as president. The jury returned guilty verdicts on all three charges, which stemmed from a revolver Hunter Biden bought in October 2018.
You know, I have now met with over 100 world leaders as vice president. And when we walk in those rooms representing the United States of America, when you're a role model, people then watch what you do to see if it matches what you say.

In my travels in the last year, world leaders would say to us when we said "America is back"--and they'd say, "Well, for how long?"
In the last several months, I ran into a number of world leaders and the first thing--I'm not kidding you--that each one of them--the first thing they said, "We hope you're going to win."
Out of self-interest, they raised it. Because of what they know the future of our country means and represents for the future of their countries.
The FOP’s endorsement process is unique in that every member has the opportunity, through our 46 State Lodges, to make their choice known to the National Trustee. The National Trustee casts his or her vote at our National Board meeting. In order to secure our endorsement, the candidate needs the support of two-thirds of the State Lodges, a benchmark former President Trump easily cleared.
"The National FOP endorsed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. He led our nation through some very tough times," the FOP President said.
