Hunter Biden’s ongoing legal troubles may be losing their political resonance for President Joe Biden, but they remain deeply personal. Facing potential imprisonment on firearms charges and tax evasion charges, Hunter’s trials are set to be held in public.

The legal battles are shining a harsh light on overseas business dealings that Republicans have long scrutinized. Although President Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign is over, the lawsuits could still tarnish the family’s reputation.

As Hunter confronts his past, President Biden’s concern for his son is evident. The trials, beginning with jury selection in Los Angeles, promise to highlight controversial aspects of Hunter’s life, including alleged lavish spending on drugs and escorts.
