NextImg:Joe Biden spends Fourth of July with Hunter Biden ahead of criminal court hearing


Hunter Biden's troubles aren't keeping him out of the spotlight.

President Joe Biden emerged from Camp David on the morning of July 4 alongside his troubled son, who has frequently been seen with him since his controversial plea deal last month.

Team Biden is attempting to put Hunter Biden's problems in the rearview after he agreed to plead guilty to gun and tax-related charges, saying the five-year investigation into his actions is now over. Hunter Biden is due in federal court on July 26 on the charges, and some Republicans have urged U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika to reject the plea agreement.

The younger Biden emerged with his wife, Melissa Cohen, and son Beau Biden for a trip to the White House from Camp David, in the latest example of the president continuing to publicly embrace his son. Hunter Biden also spent the previous weekend with his father at Camp David.

But Republicans say the Hunter Biden saga is far from over. They say the plea deal he reached with the Department of Justice doesn't address the more serious allegations of foreign influence peddling that could also involve his father.

Republicans also say the lenient charges reflect a two-tiered system of justice, especially in comparison to the 37 charges levied against former President Donald Trump. Hunter Biden was seen at a White House state dinner that featured Attorney General Merrick Garland in the wake of his plea deal announcement in June.

Just days later, a text message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese business associate was released to the public, causing members of the press to hammer the White House about what was going on.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to substantively answer the questions, instead pointing to White House counsel, which said "the president was not in business with his son."
