US first lady slams 'cruel' Republicans over Hunter Biden attacks

Washington, United States: US First Lady Jill Biden on Thursday defended her son Hunter against 'cruel' attacks by Republicans, in a rare public intervention as President Joe Biden ramps up his reelection campaign.

The 72-year-old spoke out a day after a chaotic Congressional hearing at which a lawmaker brandished naked pictures of Hunter Biden, who has become a target for Republicans as they try to inflict damage on his father ahead of the November election.
