Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said Monday night that an acquittal of Hunter Biden on gun charges would be the “best thing” for former President Donald Trump.

The jury began deliberations on Monday in Biden’s trial regarding three felony gun charges for allegedly providing false statements and knowingly possessing a gun while being addicted to drugs. Dershowitz said an acquittal would make a “horrible double standard” clear to America.

“The best thing that could possibly happen to Donald Trump is if Hunter Biden gets acquitted, because the evidence against Hunter Biden is so much more compelling, the legal issue so much more compelling than anything against Donald Trump and it will prove beyond any doubt that this is all about where the trial was conducted, that if you’re Trump and you’re tried in New York it’s automatic guilt, and if you’re Biden and you’re tried in Delaware, it’s a different verdict,” Dershowitz told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“So the best thing that could possibly happen to Donald Trump is the acquittal of the Biden based on all this evidence. It would also be a good thing for America. It would uncover and disclose the horrible double standard that our criminal justice system is going through. Maybe we can get some reform, maybe we can do something about it,” Dershowitz continued. “Right now, our criminal justice system is the laughingstock of the world and I feel just so horrible about it. I’ve devoted 60 years of my life to trying to defend and explain the legal system based on neutral principles. That legal system is gone. The Trump case destroyed it, and if there were an acquittal in this case, at least it will expose it.”

A jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsification of business records on May 30 in Manhattan. The charges were in regard to payments made to former Trump attorney Michael Cohen as reimbursement for $130,000 paid to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair with Trump ahead of the 2016 election.

“There may be a conviction in this case because the evidence is so overwhelming, that won’t hurt Donald Trump, but if there were an acquittal, it would help Donald Trump enormously in the court of public opinion. Nobody would believe that the New York verdict was justified if there’s an acquittal in this case,” Dershowitz said.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
