Amid swirling controversies, President Joe Biden has endorsed his son Hunter Biden’s legal response to congressional scrutiny.
Under the guidance of Attorney Abbe Lowell, this strategy includes legally challenging those spreading details about Hunter Biden's notorious laptop files allegedly tying Joe Biden to international business dealings, New York Post reported.
The files, first referenced in 2020, contained information suggestive of questionable business interactions involving Joe Biden in China and Ukraine, claims the President has repeatedly denied. Federal authorities have not verified these documents as of their latest updates. These developments have erupted into fierce political battles and legal rallies bolstered by President Biden himself.
President Biden’s overt support was encapsulated in discussions where he reportedly admired Lowell’s methods, urging him to continue the vigorous defense: “I love what you are doing. Keep doing it. Keep doing it,” expressed Biden to his son’s attorney. This robust legal counterattack initiated by Abbe Lowell has extended to demanding criminal probes against those circulating the information from Hunter’s laptop.
This assertion of misinformation and defamation forms the core of Lowell’s strategy, as highlighted through his formal communications with both the Department of Justice and Delaware’s Attorney General in early 2023. These accusations are part of wider efforts to cast doubt on the credibility of the laptop files and their implications for the Biden family.
While defending Hunter’s reputation, the legal and political drama has extended beyond just media skirmishes. Specifically, the revival of a criminal investigation into Hunter’s dealings by IRS officials in April 2023 accused possible cover-ups. As a result, these inquiries laid the groundwork for further complications in Hunter Biden’s career, culminating in a guilty plea for tax fraud and a conviction for gun charges in mid-2024.
In addition to these charges, the financial burden of Hunter’s legal challenges seems to have been partly mitigated by loans from a known Hollywood lawyer. This development, therefore, further intertwines celebrity legal drama with political intrigue.
As these legal battles wage, the broader implications for the Biden administration loom large. The congressional investigation into the Bidens expanded in scope following Hunter Biden’s evasion of a subpoena, filing into a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
The implications of this support are profound, feeding Republican narratives of a possible conflict of interest and misuse of power, which the Biden camp has fervently repudiated. However, revelations continue to surface, with Bob Woodward’s 2023 book “War” shedding light on these and more inner workings of the Biden family’s engagements.
By Joe Biden: I love what you are doing. Keep doing it. Keep doing it.
Despite all the sparks flying in this legal and political saga, President Biden has remained firm on his stance. He maintained his position that he “never” indulged in discussions involving business with his son or brother and reiterated that he “did not” engage directly with his son's or brother's foreign partners as accused in various allegations floating around.
At the center of this complex web lies a family besieged by allegations, a legal team aggressively defending its clients, and a political landscape riddled with tension and accusations. As the investigations drag on and political rivals sharpen their strategies, the resolution to these controversies remains as murky as the alleged laptop files themselves.
