Individuals close to Hunter and his legal team said the mood drastically changed from the previous day’s Malibu outing. In the wake of his indictment, insiders said Hunter and those closest to him were reportedly feeling “dark, gloomy, and defeated.”
“I got the sense that it’s just pretty dark and gloomy over there, they feel defeated,” CNN’s Paul Reid said on Thursday. “They really thought they were gonna be successful.”
Reid noted that while Hunter spoke frequently to his father, Joe Biden, the pair had allegedly not discussed the case’s developments.
