About 45 minutes into the CNN Presidential Debate, President Joe Biden referenced former President Donald Trump’s recent felony conviction regarding in New York, during a discussion about the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. Trump then sought to pivot from his own legal troubles by referring to Biden’s son, Hunter, as a “convicted felon," referring to the younger Biden's felony conviction this month on three firearms charges.

00:00The only person on this stage as a convicted felon is the man I'm looking at right now.
00:05And the fact of the matter is, what he's telling you is simply not true.
00:09The fact is that there was no effort on his part to stop what was going on up on Capitol
00:15Hill.
00:16And all those people, every one of those who were convicted deserves to be convicted.
00:20The idea that they didn't kill somebody, just went in and broke down doors, broke the windows,
00:26occupied offices, turned over desks, turned them over statues.
00:30The idea that those people are patriots, come on.
00:35But when he talks about a convicted felon, his son is a convicted felon at a very high
00:39level.
00:40His son is convicted, going to be convicted probably numerous other times, should have
00:44been convicted before, but his justice department let the statute of limitations lapse on the
00:49most important things.
00:50But he could be a convicted felon as soon as he gets out of office.
00:53Joe could be a convicted felon with all of the things that he's done.
00:56He's done horrible things.
00:58All of the death cause at the border, telling the Ukrainian people that we're going to want
01:03a billion dollars.
01:04You change the prosecutor.
01:05Otherwise, you're not getting a billion dollars.
01:08If I ever said that, that's quid pro quo, that we're not going to do anything.
01:13We're not going to give you a billion dollars unless you change your prosecutor having to
01:16do with the son.
01:18This man is a criminal.
01:19This man, you're lucky.
01:20You're lucky.
01:21I did nothing wrong.
01:23We need to have a system that was rigged and disgusting.
01:25I did nothing wrong.
01:26The idea that I did anything wrong relative to what you're talking about is outrageous.
01:32It's simply a lie, number one.
01:34Number two, the idea that you have a right to seek retribution against any American just
01:39because your president is wrong is simply wrong.
01:42No president has ever spoken like that before.
01:45No president in our history has spoken like that before.
01:47Number three, the crimes that you are still charged with, and think of all the civil penalties
01:52you have.
01:53How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for molesting a woman in public,
01:58for doing a whole range of things, of having sex with a porn star on the night while your
02:04wife was pregnant?
02:05I mean, what are you talking about?
02:08You have the morals of an alley cat.
02:10Give your answer.
02:12I didn't have sex with a porn star.
02:14Number one.
02:15Number two, that was a case that was started and moved.
02:18They moved a high-ranking official, a DOJ, into the Manhattan DA's office to start that
02:23case.
02:24That case is going to be appealed and won.
02:27We had a very terrible judge, a horrible judge, Democrat.
02:31The prosecutor were all high-ranking Democrats, appointed people, both the civil and the criminal.
02:39He basically went after his political opponent because he thought it was going to damage
02:43me.
02:44But when the public found out about these cases, because they understand it better than
02:47he does, he has no idea what these cases are, but when they found out about these cases,
02:51you know what they did?
02:52My poll numbers went up, way up.
02:54You know that because you're reporting it.
