Robert Hunter Biden (born February 4, 1970) is an American lawyer and businessman. He is the son of President Joe Biden and his first wife, Neilia Hunter Biden.[1] In 2009, he co-founded Rosemont Seneca Partners.
Biden was on the board of Burisma Holdings from 2014 to 2019.[2][3][4][5][6][7] President Donald Trump tried to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter Biden by ending foreign aid to Ukraine. This caused an impeachment inquiry in September 2019, in which the President was impeached.[8][9][10]
Court cases in 2024[change | change source]
Gun trial[change | change source]
The Hunter Biden gun trial started in June 2024.[11]
In 2023, he admitted to "illegally owning a gun while a drug user", because he knowingly denied drug use when applying for a gun purchase permit.[12]
He "will face three criminal counts for allegedly buying a gun while in the throes [or influence] of addiction to crack cocaine", according to media.[13] Earlier (September 2023), Biden was indicted by a special council in Delaware on three federal firearms-related charges.[14][15]
Trial about tax affairs[change | change source]
Another trial is supposed to start in September 2024.[16] Biden's tax affairs have been under federal criminal investigation since late 2018. On July 26, 2023, Biden pled not guilty to tax charges for filing two years of his tax returns late.[17][18] This is a reversal of his last guilty plea on June 20, 2023.[19]
