7:03 am
today june 12, 2024. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hi, everybody. good morning. welcome to today. that shot for a moment, beautiful manhattan on a wednesday morning in june. view from the sky, bird's-eye view. >> you really get to see that perspective where we are. it's good to see that. we are going to start this morning with a another historic verdict in the spotlight. hunter biden guilty on federal charge. >> it took a jury in delaware three hours to convict the president's son on all criminal counts he faced after a trial filled with details about his struggles with drug addiction. >> hunter biden now faces possible prison time as well as a separate tax case now just months away. president biden saying he will not issue a pardon for his son. >> we've got it all covered including what sentencing could bring. we'll begin in delaware. ryan nobles in the courtroom for
7:04 am
us for the trial. good morning. >> reporter: hunter biden and his legal team have promised to appeal yesterday's verdict. his conviction means the president's son is facing the possibility of jail time, and it comes as his father's re-election campaign is gearing up. within minutes of the jury handing down their verdict, hunter biden was leaving the wilmington courthouse hand in hand with first lady jill biden. and then last night as his father, the president, was arriving in wilmington, hunter was there to meet him. the president who has said he'll not offer his son a pardon issuing a statement offering his support, without attacking the system that could send his son to jail. jill and i love our son, and we are proud of the man he is today. adding, i accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal. the decision drawing a fairly muted response from republicans, possibly removing a popular gop talking point about a double standard of justice for the president's family.
7:05 am
after former president trump who was convicted of 34 felony counts of his own have often claimed that the justice department has been weaponized against him. >> i just went through a rigged trial in new york. >> reporter: the special counsel in charge of the hunter biden investigation arguing his team prosecuted this case without any political pressure. >> no one in this country is above the law. everyone must be accountable for their actions, even this defendant. >> reporter: inside the jury room it did not take long to come to the conclusion that hunter was guilty on all three felony charges related to possession of a firearm while using narcotics. a female juror telling usa today she did not want to find hunter biden guilty because, quote, he needed help, adding in my opinion this was a waste of taxpayer dollars but saying the evidence led to a conviction. a different member of the jury telling nbc an initial poll of jurors showed a 6-6 split, but
7:06 am
when they came back the following day they quickly moved to a conviction. juror number 10 telling nbc hunter's powerful family played no role in their decision making process. he asked us to conceal his identity. >> it was not politically motivated. politics never played in anything that we said in the jury room. >> reporter: and first lady jill biden did not make it back into the courtroom to hear the verdict read, but she was in the courthouse shortly after. sources telling nbc news she cried when she met hunter after he left the courtroom. savannah? >> all right, ryan, thank you. nbc's senior legal correspondent laura jarrett with us now. laura, let's start with this case in delaware. what is the likelihood of prison time for hunter biden? >> so the reality check here is even though the maximum is ten years, it's unlikely that the judge is going to impose that given the fact that as of right now he doesn't have a criminal history. he's never been convicted before. there was nothing in his past, and that's one of the things that the judge would use in
7:07 am
gauging that it's going to be completely up to her discretion. but we should note people do get prison time for this. in fact, usually 90% of people get prison time for this. >> and there are federal sentencing guidelines they're not going to be the statutory maximum of ten years. >> it's more around the neighborhood of like a year and 15 months. >> okay. this is not the end of the legal road for him. he fates tax evasion charges in september in los angeles. >> nine different counts of tax evasion. essentially the gump has accused of him of spending his money lavishly on everything but his taxes. now, he still can plead guilty in that case. there's still an opportunity here -- i'm not suggesting that he will, but at least that's still on the table. and if he doesn't and if hegoes to trial and he's convicted in that case, yesterday's conviction is going to be used against him because then he does have a criminal history. so that's what ups the ante for him come september. >> the president was asked point blank will you pardon your son, he said no. he was not asked will you ever
7:08 am
commute the sentence for your son. will you explain it? >> say he was given a prison term let's call it in the neighborhood of a year, he can reduce that sentence by commuting the sentence to nothing if he wanted to. now, this is completely within the president's discretion to do that. >> he hasn't weighed in one way or the other on that. >> not on that, no. >> laura, thank you. also this morning we're learning about a high profile sting operation here in the u.s. eight men with suspected ties to isis arrested by federal agents in threemajor cities. nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander has the details. peter, what do you know this morning? >> reporter: hoda, good morning. those eight suspects you all note are all men from tajikistan alan all arrested by i.c.e. over the weekend in philadelphia and new york for potential ties. at the time authorities found no evidence of terror ties.
7:09 am
their criminal background checks at the time all came back clean, but the fbi has since been investigating a potential threat coming out of central europe that included monitoring these men for several months. a series of terror suspects in isis linked attacks notably have originated in tajikistan. that, by the way, it borders afghanistan and china including the gunman in the moscow concert hall attack that happened back in march where isis claimed responsibility. hoda. >> peter, all of this under the backdrop of border security one of the issues dominating the presidential race. >> reporter: the economy and border security and immigration, of course. republicans blame president biden for the record number of migrants illegally crossing into the u.s. on his watch, arguering h he's weak on immigration and border security. remember republicans recently tanked a border security deal at the urging of former president trump and this is a deal the border patrol union had
7:10 am
endorsed. restricting asylum requests once illegal border crossings reach about 2,500 migrants a day. to be clear, hoda, we remain in what is a high threat environment. the fbi director recently warning congress some dangerous individuals have illegally crossed into the u.s., and he remains concerned about a particular network with isis ties, hoda. >> peter alexander at the white house, thank you. there are new developments in the push for a cease-fire with gaza. secretary antony blinken now in the region urging both israel and hamas to accept a proposal backed by the white house, also meeting with the families of american hostages. nbc's raf sanchez in tel aviv this morning. raf, good morning. and we've heard from hamas on this issue. >> reporter: that's right, savannah, good morning. nearly two weeks after president biden laid out that cease-fire proposal to end the war in gaza and free hostages there is finally a response from hamas, but that response is not a clear
7:11 am
7:12 am
first hurdle here is getting that deal between israel and hamas. savannah? >> all right, raf sanchez with the very latest, thank you. 7:12 craig, jones the table.
7:13 am
>> good morning to you as well. a wild story down in atlanta yesterday. authorities there in atlanta still piecing together this frightening incident, a public transport bus -- a public transit bus hijacked at gunpoint. it led to a high-speed chase through rush hour traffic, and al in a downtown atlanta food

parade today. >> wow. you really can be a real [ bleep ], can't you, tommy? >> i get the sense the compassionate portion is over. >> i guess that's what it's like when the brothers in law get together. you haven't worked together like in scenes since i think like 2007. was that part of the draw for this process? >> oh, yeah. definitely. for me, he was already in it. >> did you recruit him? >> well, it was a wish. >> it was not a coincidence that i ended up in the show. >> yeah. and, jake, this is the -- i think this is the first tv project. it is the golden age of tv. but jake gyllenhaal has invested in it. why? >> also, the television medium. so to me, you know, being able
8:38 am
to work in that space with people like that and on a story like this, which i think puts the character and all the characters, actually, in a really difficult position and you have to watch them get through it. it just offered up so many opportunities for performance and interactions with all the great characters. and i was like, i'm in. >> this is a very famous and beloved book. then it was a movie with harrison ford, no pressure, in 1990. are you familiar with the original? did you go back and watch? >> he was like 7? >> i was 10. >> yeah. i didn't watch it at the time. >> we would be talking to your parents. not appropriate. >> i saw it when it came out. i don't remember hold i was, but i was the right age for it. i was also a huge harrison ford fan. so i went to see it for him. >> it is great because, you know, i absolutely loved "presumed innocent" and i was watching some of the series. it is so good but it is serialized. you watch it week by week. i knew i love it but i forgot

8:40 am
think is happening to other people and people can argue about what is what and they can engage with the audience. >> talk about being brothers in law. you guys are buddies. you're close. you're married to maggie, jake's big sis. what is it like being in scenes together? knowing each other, does that help with the scene? >> i think we both agree it absolutely helps. if you have a history with someone and you come into a scene and it is a fictional world, you get to bring all of that stuff. and, you know, we -- i mean, i love working with peter. he demands an honesty, not only as a brother but then also particularly as an actor. you just know you are working with someone who is up for anything. and it's a joy. even though the stuff we're doing is like -- >> for two characters that have an antagonistic relationship. people only argue like that who
