Amid raging accusations against President Biden alleging use of his former position as VP to benefit his family from foreign businesses, the House has taken a major step. A vote to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden has been passed. These developments have brought his son, Hunter Biden, into the spotlight. To counter allegations, Hunter adopted a defense strategy that seems reminiscent of the Clinton era. Defending his father, he argued that suggesting these allegations constituted grounds for impeachment was 'beyond absurd.'
Notably, the Presidency seems caught in the scandal's amber, with continual rhetorical shift. While inconsistencies between campaign-era claims of having 'no knowledge' of these business dealings linger, even Hunter’s associates call these claims 'nonsense.' The question that emerges on whether the President had any knowledge or involvement in alleged influence peddling is met with denials from Democrats suggesting that President Biden was oblivious to it.
