Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden faces new scrutiny as father prepares for re-election.
It’s evident from Joe Biden’s consistent remarks that his role as a father outweighs concerns about appearances and political consequences.
Despite a federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and overseas business dealings, Joe Biden has maintained his confidence in his son’s innocence.
During a recent interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, Joe Biden defended Hunter, stating, “First of all, my son’s done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him. And it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”
Hunter Biden has now agreed to plead guilty to tax-related misdemeanors and reached a deal with prosecutors regarding a felony charge related to illegal possession of a firearm.
This development comes as President Biden starts campaigning for a second term, while congressional Republicans relentlessly attempt to portray the first family as corrupt.
Despite the charges, it’s unlikely to satisfy GOP members who have relentlessly targeted the “Biden crime family” without providing evidence, fueling a perception of a two-tiered system of justice.
The White House has refrained from commenting on the investigation conducted by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, but consistently emphasized that neither President Biden nor the White House discussed Hunter’s business dealings.
Following the news of Hunter Biden’s plea agreement, the White House spokesperson, Ian Sams, released a brief statement expressing support and love for their son as he rebuilds his life.
Previously, the Biden administration made it clear that they had no involvement in the probe, emphasizing the independence of the Justice Department.
The investigation began in 2018 and became public in December 2020, shortly after Biden became the president-elect. At the time, Biden’s transition team expressed pride in Hunter for enduring personal attacks and emerging stronger.
President Biden has defended his son on several occasions, maintaining confidence in Hunter’s actions and occasionally expressing frustration with questions about his conduct.
In his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” Hunter Biden candidly described his struggle with addiction, his relationships, and his efforts to establish a successful career while carrying the Biden name.
Hunter recounted a poignant moment when his father expressed concern and urged him to seek help during one of his lowest points.
Despite the controversies surrounding Hunter, President Biden has asserted that they have not affected him or the United States, emphasizing his love for his son and his triumph over addiction.
The impact of these charges on President Biden’s reelection bid remains uncertain, as House Republicans continue their investigations into Hunter Biden’s private dealings.
Former President Trump, who also faces legal challenges of his own, dismissed the charges against Hunter Biden, claiming they were akin to a minor offense.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Republicans attempted to link Biden to his son’s controversies, but ultimately failed to sway voters.
In an attempt to address the scandals during the campaign, Hunter Biden gave interviews discussing his addiction struggles and personal relationships, acknowledging a lapse in judgment regarding the political implications on his father’s career.
