Legal commentator Andy McCarthy has raised concerns over the potential ramifications of the ongoing investigations into the Biden family, suggesting that President Joe Biden may need to reconsider his 2024 presidential aspirations. McCarthy’s insights were reported by Mediaite on Monday, December 18, 2023.
The discussion unfolded in response to a clip featuring MSNBC personality and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who highlighted the unfavorable impact of Hunter Biden’s public statements on the President.
Host Dana Perino promptly delved into the heart of the matter, questioning McCarthy about the intersection of Hunter’s legal challenges and his father’s political ambitions.

McCarthy provided a sobering analysis, stating, “Yeah, I think they’ve already collided. I mean, the time to worry about what Jen Psaki is talking about was before Hunter got indicted when they were trying to make that whole case go away.”
Emphasizing the gravity of the situation, McCarthy noted that Hunter is now facing indictment in not just one but two cases. This, he argued, would inevitably lead to public appearances where Hunter and his legal team would be compelled to speak, potentially creating a challenging situation for President Biden.
Addressing a recent Washington Post report, McCarthy expressed particular concern about its 4000-word length, suggesting weeks of meticulous investigation. The report resurfaced information vaguely known for years, thrusting it back into the spotlight at a time when Joe Biden might have assumed the matter was long resolved.
“What astonished me about it is not just the details,” McCarthy remarked. “This is a 4000-word report, which means that they spent weeks on it. They could have dropped it at any time. And it dredges up stuff that’s been kind of vaguely known for years, and that Joe Biden must have thought that he had, you know, survived that long ago.”
Highlighting a confluence of events, McCarthy cited David Axelrod’s suggestion that Biden might reconsider running and a Wall Street Journal report implying a similar sentiment from former President Obama.
McCarthy underscored the significance of these developments occurring concurrently with Hunter Biden’s legal troubles, creating an increasingly challenging environment for Joe Biden’s potential 2024 candidacy.
