President Biden dismissed the notion that his son Hunter Biden's possible indictment by the Justice Department for tax- and gun-related violations will have any impact on his presidency.

"My son has done nothing wrong," Biden declared in a rare sit-down interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle that aired at 10 p.m. Friday. 

"I trust him. I have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him," Biden said. 

The president's comments come as federal prosecutors are reportedly close to deciding whether to indict Hunter Biden following a four-year investigation. 

FEDERAL PROSECUTORS NEAR DECISION ON HUNTER BIDEN PROBE: REPORT

Hunter's attorneys met with DOJ officials at Main Justice last week. Several of the younger Bide'’s attorneys were present at DOJ headquarters with tax division career attorneys, including longtime attorney Chris Clark. 

The First Son has been under federal investigation since 2018. U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a prosecutor appointed by former President Donald Trump, is leading the investigation. 

Fox News first reported in December 2020 that Hunter Biden was the target of a grand jury investigation prompted, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions.

Fox has also learned that Biden was being investigated for two misdemeanor tax filing charges, a felony tax evasion charge, and a false statement charge over a gun purchase. 

HUNTER BIDEN ATTORNEYS MEET WITH DOJ OFICIALS AMID ONGOING FEDERAL PROBE

Before last week's meeting, a career IRS employee sought whistleblower protections in alleging that the investigation into the younger Biden was being mishandled. 

Attorney General Merrick Garland has insisted that his office would never interfere in the Hunter Biden investigation. 

The looming charges have reportedly caused "tensions" between President Biden and his son. Axios reported Friday that Hunter has hired a new lawyer, Abbe Lowell, seeking a more "combative approach" to his defense without consulting with the president's aides. Lowell is noteworthy for having recently represented Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. 

Additionally, the White House is wincing as Hunter Biden’s team is "moving toward creating a legal defense fund, and hiring ethics advisers for it," according to Axios.

The report added, "High-level Democrats and others are worried about the idea of the president's son soliciting money to pay for his legal troubles." 

Former Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley told the outlet, "For this fund to work, it must be extraordinarily transparent and even restrictive by prohibiting foreign citizens and registered lobbyists from contributing." However, the White House is reportedly worried Hunter Biden’s team will not be careful enough.

Coley, who was senior adviser to Attorney General Merrick Garland, added, "Without these type of guardrails, the fund will be a legitimate headache for the White House."

A 33-year-old Milwaukee public schools staff member is accused of sexually assaulting, requesting sexual favors and discussing pornography with a 14-year-old girl and other students at a public elementary school. 

Randell Jefferson, 33, faces 10 criminal felonies for soliciting sex with minors spanning a two-year period. Along with being the 6th. grade aid, Jefferson runs the after school program and helped coach track.

According to the criminal complaint, the Milwaukee Police Department began investigating in Sept. 2022 after a 14-year-old girl came forward regarding a sexual assault with her 6th. grade aid "Mr. Jefferson."

The unnamed 14-year-old said that the 33-year-old, "made comments to her about boys wanting to do sexual things to (the teen) and talking to (the teen) about pornography," the complaint says.

The teen stayed silent until she told her mother in June. The young girl told her mother that Jefferson took her into a room commonly used for after-school activities and allegedly had inappropriate contact with her. The teen did not say anything about their interaction because the teen "stated she felt uncomfortable talking about it and that the defendant had a ‘buff build.’"

As police began investigating the disturbing incident, the principal at Oliver Wendell Holmes School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin corroborated the 14-year-old's allegation after "several students informed him that they were solicited for sexual favors by a teacher."

During an interview with police, Jefferson admitted to having homemade pornographic material on his phone, but denied showing the pornography to any of the students. The complaint says that the pornographic videos depicting the defendant receiving oral sex from various females - are consistent with what the victims said.
