"2024 White House hopefuls criticize DOJ and 'deep state' for delayed Hunter Biden indictment"

Multiple 2024 presidential hopefuls, including Republicans Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Asa Hutchinson, criticized the timing of the indictment of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, alleging that it was politically motivated and a sign of deeper issues within the Department of Justice (DOJ). While Ramaswamy and Haley accused the "deep state" of planning to sideline Biden and pick a new puppet for 2024, DeSantis expressed distrust in the DOJ and speculated that Hunter would never face full justice. Hutchinson, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of treating Hunter like anyone else accused of a crime. Democrat candidate Marianne Williamson acknowledged that the indictment could complicate Biden's re-election campaign.
