Hunter Biden joins Joe for Vacation as GOP slams FBI for ‘double standard’ after Trump raid
Disgraced first son Hunter Biden joined his father on Air Force One Wednesday for a flight to a family vacation on Kiawah Island, South Carolina — as Republicans slam the FBI for a “double standard” in
raiding former President Trump’s residence, but neither of the Bidens’ homes.
Hunter Biden often
involved his father Joe in foreign business deals and is
under federal investigation for tax fraud, money laundering and unregistered lobbying — but there’s no indication that either father or son have been raided by the FBI in connection with the long-running investigation.
Hunter Biden, 52, his wife Melissa Cohen, and his young son Beau met the president at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for the flight just two days after the FBI
served a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, reportedly to retrieve presidential records that may contain classified information.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
tweeted Tuesday: “Look at what the DOJ did last night to President Trump, while it slow-rolls and looks the other way on Hunter Biden.”
“If they will go after a former President, they will go after you,” Pompeo added, referring to the proposed expansion of the IRS in the
Senate-passed Inflation Reduction Act, which would purportedly offset new environmental and healthcare spending.
The Hunter Biden investigation, meanwhile, has proceeded slowly.
The Biden family is going on vacation at Kiawah Island, South Carolina.
Since December 2019, the FBI has had a computer hard drive that formerly belonged to Hunter Biden. Documents on the device detail his overseas business income and contradict Joe Biden’s
September 2019 claim that “I’ve never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”
Delaware computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac provided the laptop to the FBI nearly one year before The Post revealed some of its bombshell contents in October 2020, including evidence that Hunter Biden
introduced his vice-president father to an executive from Ukrainian gas company Burisma — which paid the then-second son as much as $1 million per year to serve on its board — and emails regarding a proposed Chinese business deal that said
the “big guy” would get a 10% stake “held by H.”
Hunter Biden recently paid the IRS
about $2 million in an acknowledgement that he failed to hand over taxes on a windfall of foreign income. The funds reportedly were provided by Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, but it’s unclear what strings are attached and the repayment doesn’t prevent prosecution.
Ahead of the 2020 election, 51 former intelligence community leaders — including five former CIA directors — said the cache of documents
could be Russian disinformation and both Twitter and Facebook censored The Post reporting, with
Twitter asserting without evidence that the documents may have been “hacked.”
Emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop indicate that Joe Biden, as vice president,
attended a 2015 DC dinner with a group of his son’s associates from Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan. A photo depicts Joe Biden posing with the Kazakhstani group and one day after the dinner, Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive at Burisma,
emailed the then-second son to thank him for the opportunity to meet his father.
