After years of anticipation, claims of Biden's detachment from the ongoing emergencies within the nation may have been misplaced. Evident priorities suggest that Biden's focus on resolving his son Hunter's legal predicaments, which are a serious threat to his reelection, is quite acute.
This assertion is based on knowledge provided by the president about Hunter's forthcoming testimony on Capitol Hill. If Biden had discouraged his son from defying a congressional subpoena, it is perhaps plausible that Hunter would have heeded his advice. Now, it appears as though the president and his top advisors are orchestrating Hunter's defense strategy.
The popular online news platform, Axios, maintains that the president's team has less control over Hunter's strategy than before. However, the reality may be different; the White House may indeed be directing Hunter's defense. Thus, the separation Axios seeks to demonstrate between Hunter's attorney Abby Lowell and Biden's attorneys on his legal strategy might not exist, indicating a potential joint defense agreement.
The Bidens have always seemingly prioritized their own interests, hence Joe Biden remained silent when his son lied about his laptop, implicating a foreign government. Caught amidst accusations of accumulating wealth via shell bank accounts, Hunter's legal issues uncannily coincide with his father’s political survival.
The possibility of a link between Hunter's wealth and his past struggles with substance abuse was also raised. This connection, however, loses credibility as tax fraud allegations against Hunter surfaced well after he claimed to be sober. Ultimately, the Biden's fortunes seem bound by financial and political survival.
Additionally, the president is reportedly unhappy with his Justice Department. Sources reveal the president's discontent stems from the DOJ's protracted criminal investigation into Hunter. Such leaks from the White House may compromise the integrity of an ongoing investigation.
Overall, the ongoing drama surrounding Hunter Biden is casting a long shadow over his father's presidency. Whether it will influence the president's bid for re-election remains to be seen.
