Hunter Biden

Robert Hunter Biden (born February 4, 1970) is an American attorney and businessman. He is the second son of U.S. President Joe Biden and his first wife, Neilia Hunter Biden. Biden was a founding board member of BHR Partners,[1] a Chinese investment company, in 2013, and later served on the board of Burisma Holdings, one of the largest private natural gas producers in Ukraine, from 2014 until his term expired in April 2019.[2] He has worked as a lobbyist and legal representative for lobbying firms, a hedge fund principal, and a venture capital and private equity fund investor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden

Since early 2019, Hunter and his father Joe have been the targets of false allegations of corrupt activities concerning Ukraine,[3] which intensified after the New York Post published an article in October 2020 about a laptop computer that had belonged to Hunter Biden.[4] Biden was convicted of three federal firearms-related felony charges in June 2024 after he had admitted to "illegally owning a gun while a drug user".[5][6][7] Biden's tax affairs have been under federal criminal investigation since late 2018,[8][9][10] and he is scheduled to face trial for the charges in September 2024.

In October 2020, a controversy arose involving data from a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden. The owner of a Delaware computer shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, said that the laptop had been left by a man who identified himself as Hunter Biden. Mac Isaac also stated that he is legally blind and could not be sure whether the man was actually Hunter Biden.[1] Three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the New York Post published a front-page story that presented emails from the laptop, alleging they showed corruption by Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee and Hunter Biden's father.[2] According to the Post, the story was based on information provided to Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney of incumbent president and candidate Donald Trump, by Isaac... The hard drive data had been shared with Trump advisor Steve Bannon before it became publicly known.[1] Trump attempted to turn the story into an October surprise to hurt Joe Biden's campaign by falsely alleging that while in office Biden had acted corruptly regarding Ukraine to protect his son.[13][14][15] A joint investigation by two Republican Senate committees released in September 2020 and a Republican House Oversight committee investigation released in April 2024 did not find wrongdoing by Joe Biden with regards to Ukraine and his son's business dealings there.[16][17][18][19][20] PolitiFact wrote in June 2021 that the laptop did belong to Hunter Biden, but did not demonstrate wrongdoing by Joe Biden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controversy
