“Privately, no topic is more likely to anger or sadden President Biden than attacks on his son Hunter, according to people close to the president who have seen his mood change when there is bad news regarding Hunter.” Axios reports.
“The 81-year-old president has suggested to close aides that if he had not run in 2020, Hunter would not face criminal charges or be the target of daily articles in conservative media – while trying to stay sober and rebuild his life.”
“The ongoing criminal investigation into Hunter Biden has strained President Biden’s relationship with his Attorney General, Merrick Garland, who appointed a special counsel in August to oversee the federal investigation into Hunter after the prosecutor requested this status.”
“Only a few longtime aides feel free to discuss Hunter’s situation with the president, and then only at certain times – knowing that doing so can spark both fury and discouragement.”
Harry Litman: Hunter Biden is not accused of any new wrongdoing. So why was he charged again?
