The Grind:
On Friday, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle surprisingly asked Joe Biden in an interview about the looming charges his son Hunter faces and, if he’s charged, what that means for his presidency.
“First of all, my son has done nothing wrong,” Biden claimed. “I trust him. I have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”
