Ireland trip showcases different role for Biden’s son, who is under criminal investigation and faces scrutiny from Republicans
President Biden’s supporters emphasize that the visit to Ireland was particularly personal in nature, given his family’s ties to the country, and that he is hardly the first president to bring family members on trips or take their advice.
Hunter Biden for years has played a complicated role in his father’s professional orbit. Some of Biden’s longtime advisers have long been wary of having Hunter Biden near any political activities, viewing him as a liability and potential distraction. But they also struggle to speak to the president about his son, given their intense familial bond colored by tragedy.
He also recounted a major confrontation between him and his father in the weeks before Biden announced his presidential campaign. Hunter, in the midst of his latest bender, came to dinner, only to find family members waiting to stage an intervention; he stormed out, his father chasing after him. “He grabbed me, swung me around, and hugged me,” Hunter Biden wrote. “He held me tight in the dark and cried for the longest time.
“My son, my son, my son — like a lot of people, like a lot of people you know at home — had a drug problem,” Biden said. “He’s overtaken it, he’s fixed it, he’s worked on it. And I’m proud of him. I’m proud of my son.”
