Explained in plain English

Why was Hunter Biden honoured?

Hunter Biden was receiving a Gold Medal from Trinity College's College Historical Society, a prestigious student debating society. This honour is separate from his well-publicised legal and personal controversies in the US, which include tax investigations and a recent gun charge. The award likely recognises his past public service or contributions to discourse.
