Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, was recently spotted shoe shopping and vaping in Malibu. According to the Daily Mail, he appeared to be in high spirits, enjoying a sunny afternoon with friends. He spent nearly an hour sipping coffee with his friends before heading to the shoe outlet Alma Mater Footwear, all while being escorted by secret service agents. During the outing, Hunter was seen laughing and joking, despite his ongoing legal troubles.
Hunter Biden’s legal issues have been a topic of considerable public attention. He faces various criminal charges, including allegations of tax evasion and illegal gun possession. A federal judge in California recently rejected eight motions by Hunter to dismiss the criminal tax charges against him. Reportedly, he owes the IRS $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019.
In addition, Hunter Biden is accused of lying on a federal form in 2018 when he allegedly swore he wasn’t using or addicted to illegal drugs, despite being accused of illegal gun possession. He faces significant prison time if convicted on these charges, with the potential for up to 17 years for the tax charges and 25 years for the gun charges.
Despite these serious allegations, Hunter appeared relaxed and was seen vaping and coughing during his outing. In his memoir, “Beautiful Things: A Memoir,” he revealed his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, which began when he had his first drink at eight years old. He has spoken openly about his experiences, including encounters with crack cocaine and struggles with addiction.
