The son of the American president, Hunter Biden (53), sees the political attacks against him as an attempt to bring his father to his knees emotionally. The attacks against him from the Republican camp are not about him, Hunter Biden said in a podcast with American musician Moby (58), which appeared on Friday (local time). “They are trying in their most illegitimate but rational way to destroy a presidency,” the 53-year-old argued. “In their most despicable way, they are trying to kill me because they know it would be a greater pain than my father could bear.”
Opponents of Joe Biden (81) understood that the thought of losing his son after the death of two other children would break his father, Hunter Biden said. “And so they started attacking and attacking and attacking,” he complained. “I just stopped hoping for an ending because as long as my father is president of the United States, they won’t stop.”
Hunter Biden met Moby during addiction treatment and answered his questions extensively for the podcast. It was unclear when the hour-plus conversation was recorded — believed to be before the latest indictment against the president’s son.
Charges were filed against him in a second case on Thursday: this time for tax violations. The judiciary accuses Hunter Biden of not paying federal taxes for years, instead spending millions on an “extravagant lifestyle” with sex clubs, women, drugs and luxury. In September, Hunter Biden was accused of violating firearms regulations. All this comes in the middle of the election campaign of his father, who wants to run for a second term as president next year.
Hunter Biden has been making negative headlines for years: with alcohol addiction, drug addiction, shady deals, legal disputes with an ex-stripper over support for an illegitimate child. Republicans have already used these things extensively in recent years for political attacks on Joe Biden and are now also pursuing investigations into him in the House. The fact that the son now also has to stand trial makes the situation for the Democrat in the election campaign even more difficult.
In the conversation, Hunter Biden provided deep insights into his inner life. He described, among other things, the close bond with his father, who never abandoned him. He talked about feelings of guilt and shame and described how difficult it was to stay clean, especially because he was so in the public eye. Hunter Biden was combative, saying, “One of the reasons I’m going to survive this — and I’m going to survive clean and sober — is because I’m not going to let these motherfuckers use me as another example of why people will never be okay after an addiction and you can never trust them.”
The Bidens have had difficult fortunes. As a young man, Joe Biden lost his first wife and their daughter in a car accident. Hunter Biden and his brother Beau survived the crash as children. However, Beau later died at the age of 46 from a brain tumor. Hunter Biden said his brother’s death devastated him. (SDA)
