US First Lady Jill Biden slammed Republican attacks on her troubled son Hunter and blasted Donald Trump as a threat to democracy as she came out swinging for her husband's reelection campaign Thursday. HT Image"I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel," Jill Biden told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" talk show in a rare public defense of Hunter. The interview aired a day after a chaotic Congressional hearing during which one Republican lawmaker showed explicit pictures of Hunter Biden and another accused him of having "no balls." Hunter Biden also faces federal tax charges, for which he was due to appear in court in Los Angeles on Thursday, and gun charges. Joe Biden has always strongly defended his only surviving son, whose mother and sister died in a car crash when Hunter was a toddler -- Biden later married Jill.
