The Spin

Democratic narrative

The Republicans’ impeachment probe and the high publicity of this trial are a distraction from former Pres. Donald Trump's multiple criminal and civil charges, including his failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Hunter Biden has paid off all his tax debts —including penalties and interest — so it's clear these charges are meant to ensure his plight remains in the news while his father campaigns to defeat Trump again. Biden is innocent until proven guilty; the GOP must stop using him as a surrogate to attack his father.

Washington Post

Republican narrative

The Biden administration is impeding criminal probes into the president's son by intentionally slow-walking investigative steps. As there's ample evidence the Bidens were partners in a corrupt family enterprise, and the president has been involved in his son's finances, the Justice Department must pursue the case aggressively. Hunter Biden must face the consequences of his actions, while there must be more investigation into what else the president is hiding.
