THESE JUDGES ARE RIGGED. THE WHOLE THING IS RIGGED. >> WEAPONIZED THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. >> JOINING US NOW, SARAH FITZPATRICK. I'LL GET TO THE STRIKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IN A MOMENT, BUT I WANT TO GO INSIDE THAT COURTROOM BECAUSE THIS TRIAL WAS SO PERSONAL AND PAINFUL FOR THE BIDEN FAMILY. HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF WRONG DOING. A FELONY CHARGE ON POSSESSING A GUN WHEN HE SHOULD NOT HAVE. LYING ON A FEDERAL FORM TO OBTAIN THAT GUN WHEN HE WAS AN ADDICT, BUT STILL, THE DETAILS IN THIS CASE AS YOU KNOW ARE REALLY UGLY AND THEY'RE REALLY SAD. BRING US INTO THE COURTROOM WHEN THIS VERDICT WAS READ. >> Reporter: ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD SAY SAD IS HOW YOU CAN DESCRIBE PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY OF THIS TRIAL AND I THINK FOR THOSE MEMBERS OF THE BIDEN FAMILY IN PARTICULAR AND SOME OF THOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO HAVE TO SIT THERE, I WOULD ASK THEM EVERY DAY, WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THOSE DETAILS AND THEY WOULD SAY IT WAS INCREDIBLY SAD. THE VERDICT, WHEN THE VERDICT CAME IN, IT WAS ALL VERY, VERY FAST AND VERY SILENT IN THE COURTROOM. HUNTER BIDEN CAME IN SHORTLY AFTER WE LEARNED THAT A VERDICT HAD BEEN REACHED. HE SAT AT THE DEFENSE TABLE. KIND OF WITH HIS HANDS ON THE TABLE OR WRITING SOME NOTES AND HE JUST LOOKED SQUARELY AT THE JURY AS HE HEARD THOSE WORDS, GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY. HIS DEFENSE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO DISCUSS NOR DID THE PROSECUTION AND THEN THE COURT WAS DISMISSED. IN THOSE MOMENTS AFTER, HE HUGGED, FIRST, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REALLY INTERESTING. HE FIRST HUGGED THE YOUNG ASSOCIATES WORKING ON HIS CASE. THAT SAT BEHIND HIM THE ENTIRE TRIAL, AND THANKED THEM FOR THEIR HARD WORK. HUGGED HIS ATTORNEY. HUGGED DAVID POLANSKI, ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS THAT WORKED WITH HIM. REALLY, REALLY KIND OF GONE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY EVERY DAY FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS. THEN HE WAS WITH HIS FAMILY. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT ARE WITH HUNTER IN THE MOMENTS AFTER HE LEFT THE COURTROOM. HE WAS IN THE DEFENSE ROOM AND IN THE ELEVATOR GOING DOWN. AND THEY EXPRESSED THAT DESPITE HOW SAD THIS TRIAL WAS, THAT HUNTER WAS OPTIMISTIC, ENCOURAGING THOSE AROUND HIM, EXPRESSING GRATITUDE TO EVERYONE WHO HAD WORKED SO HARD ON THE CASE AND HAD BEEN THERE IN COURT AND HAD REALLY EMPHASIZED THAT YOU KNOW, AS IS A BIDEN FAMILY TRADITION, THEY CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD. AND SO I THINK YOU KNOW ALTHOUGH THERE WAS SADNESS IN COURT TODAY, THERE WAS ALSO OPTIMISM AND I THINK PEOPLE HOLDING THEIR HEADS HIGH AS THEY WALKED OUT OF THE COURT AND THAT'S WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE IN THE MONTHS GOING FORWARD. >> DR. JILL BIDEN WAS THERE FOR MUCH OF THE TRIAL BUT COULDN'T GET BACK INTO THE COURTROOM FOR THE VERDICT. SHE GOT HELD UP AT SECURITY. THERE WAS TOO LONG OF A LINE AND THE VERDICT CAME DOWN SO FAST. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHEN SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IN TO SEE HER SON, HUNTER? >> Reporter: I WAS ACTUALLY IN THE HALLWAY AND SAW HER WALK IN. SUNGLASSES ON, LOOKING AT THE FLOOR, GO INTO THE DEFENSE ROOM. WHAT, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TRANSPIRED BUT PEOPLE CLOSE TO THE FAMILY SAID THAT IN THIS KIND OF REALLY INTIMATE, HUMAN MOMENT INSIDE THE DEFENSE ROOM BEFORE THEY KIND OF EXITED THE COURT, THAT THE MOMENT THAT HUNTER KIND OF CAME CLOSEST TO HIS VOICE CRACKING WAS WHEN HE THANKED HIS PARENTS AND THANKED THEM FOR THEIR LOVE AND SUPPORT AND HOW MUCH THAT HAS MEANT TO HIM. NOT ONLY DURING THIS TRIAL, BUT KIND OF THROUGH ALL OF THESE TRIBULATIONS. DURING HIS ADDICTION AND BEYOND. SO I THINK, THEN I SAW THE FIRST LADY, SHE EXITED THE DEFENSE ROOM BEHIND HUNTER AND HIS WIFE, MELISSA BIDEN. SHE HAD HER SUNGLASSES ON, SHE WAS LOOKING AT THE FLOOR, AND THERE WAS THIS MOMENT WHERE HUNTER KIND OF TOUCHED HER BACK AND SAID MOM, AND MADE SURE SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE INTO THE ELEVATOR BEFORE THOSE DOORS CLOSED. SO SHE WAS THERE EVERY DAY IN SPIRIT. SHE WAS VERY STOIC. SHE WAS LOOK AT THE JURY. SHE WAS LOOKING AT HUNTER. SHE WAS HUGGING HIM AND HUGGING OTHER SUPPORTERS. YOU COULD TELL THIS WAS SOMETHING SHE WAS TAKING VERY SERIOUSLY. THERE WERE TIMES I WOULD LOOK AT HER AND SHE JUST APPEARED VERY DEEP IN THOUGHT. WE KNOW FROM OUR REPORTING SHE HAS VIEWED, SHE'S VERY PROTECTIVE OF HUNTER AND VIEWED THIS AS A REALLY IMPORTANT MOMENT FOR HER IN HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER SON. THAT SHE BE THERE, SITTING BEHIND HIM THROUGHOUT THIS TRIAL. >> SHE'S NOT HIS BIRTH MOTHER. SHE DIED WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG, A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT THAT KILLED HER AND THEIR INFANT SISTER AND SEVERELY INJURED BEAU AND HUNTER, BUT DR. BIDEN HAS BEEN THEIR MOM SINCE THEY WERE KIDS. AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR HUNTER
