That sad and sordid family drama of addiction could land the president’s son in prison, although separate investigations on tax evasion and foreign business dealings have not yet led to charges from the Delaware US attorney David Weiss, who was elevated earlier this year to special counsel to guarantee independence from the US Department of Justice. Read an annotated version of the indictment. Hallie and Hunter were having an affair at the time. The weapon was later abandoned behind a grocery store by Hallie Biden, the wife of Hunter’s late brother, Beau. Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges in Delaware on Thursday, accused of lying about his past drug abuse and violating a gun law when he bought a handgun in 2018, before his father’s presidential campaign. It would be hard for him not to be distracted by other developments this week that hit closer to home. It’s a challenging task for a president with ties to labor but who wants to protect the larger economy with his self-branded version of “Bidenomics.” He is set to come off the sidelines Friday from a standoff between the United Auto Workers and major US automakers now that a historic strike is underway. There is plenty to keep Biden busy with his day job.
Two major threats to President Joe Biden’s reelection – his son Hunter’s legal problems and the widely held perception the 80-year-old is too old for reelection – are both causing him major pain this week.
