  "account": "At least two individuals were apprehended as former US President Joe Biden made an unexpected visit to Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, on Tuesday. The President and his wife, Jill, attended a ceremony honoring their son, Hunter Biden, who was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse. According to sources, \"groups of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the College Historical Society during the family’s visit, with some detained by Irish police, known as gardaí.\" As Biden and his family departed the venue, demonstrators advanced, leading to clashes where objects were thrown, according to RTÉ. Multiple garda officers and public order police vans were dispatched to the site, resulting in at least two arrests. Hunter Biden received the prestigious award despite having been convicted of gun and tax-related offenses in the United States in 2024. His father President Biden pardoned him, making him the first child of a sitting US president convicted of a crime.",
