He lost his mother and young sister in a terrible accident: Who is Hunter Biden?

US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that Delaware State Prosecutor David Weiss, who is conducting the investigation of President Joe Biden's (80) son Hunter Biden (53), was given special powers and the status of 'special prosecutor'. There are accusations against Hunter Biden such as not paying income tax and owning a gun despite using drugs.

David Weiss, who was appointed as special prosecutor, began investigating Hunter Biden's financial and business relationships in 2019. Minister Garland stated that "he thought it would be in the public interest to appoint him as a special prosecutor" and added: "The appointment of Weiss demonstrates the department's determination to both independence and accountability, especially on sensitive issues for the American people."

Robert Hunter Biden (born February 4, 1970) is an American attorney and businessman. He has also been a hedge fund principal and a venture capital and private equity fund investor. He formerly worked as a banker, a lobbyist, and a legal representative for lobbying firms.

Increasing the powers of the prosecutor conducting the investigation means that the investigation into Biden's son, who announced that he will run again before the 2024 US presidential election, will be deepened. Not good news for President Biden

HIS MOTHER DIED IN THE ACCIDENT

Son Hunter Biden's life is full of ups and downs. Hunter, the middle child of Joe Biden and his first wife, Neila Hunter Biden, survived a traffic accident in 1972 when he was two years old, with his older brother Beau seriously injured, but he lost his mother and his sister, Naomi, who was one year younger than him. He graduated from Georgetown University history school in 1992 and Yale University law school in 1996. In 1993, he married 20-year-old Kathleen Buhle.

HE DID LOBBYING

In the early 2000s, he carried out lobbying activities at the lobby and law firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, of which he was a partner. This period was also the year when Hunter started excessive alcohol consumption. During the 2008 presidential campaign, candidate Barack Obama said in a speech that vice presidential candidate Joe Biden's son Hunter had stopped lobbying. However, it was seen in the following years that Biden continued to be influential with his father's influence.

CLOSE TO CHINA

In 2013, Hunter Biden and two other American partners began working with Chinese businesspeople to establish a Shanghai-based investment firm known as BHR. Biden, the son who developed close relations with the Chinese during this period with the power of his father, also increased his bad habits. A year after he was commissioned as a reservist in the US Navy in 2013, he was discharged from the Army after testing positive for cocaine. In 2014, when his father was President Obama's vice president, Hunter Biden was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that was being investigated by the White House on corruption charges. In this position, he earned $2 million in two years.

HE BECAME A LOVER WITH HIS AUNT-IN-LAW

Hunter, who lost his brother, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, to brain cancer in 2015, found himself in the alcohol and cocaine spiral again. Months after he decided to divorce the mother of his three children and his wife of 24 years in 2017, news appeared in the US media that he was in a romantic relationship with his brother's wife, Hallie Biden.

HE HAS A DAUGHTER OUT OF MARRIAGE

Stripper Lunden Roberts, with whom he had a relationship in 2018, gave birth to Biden's fourth child, Navy Joan Roberts. Biden wrote on the form he filled out when purchasing a .38-caliber pistol from a gun dealer in Wilmington in October 2018 that he did not use drugs. This false statement would be revealed and cause a headache.

TAX EVASION AND OWNING A GUN DESPITE DRUGS

- Biden, the son, got into new trouble by taking his personal computer to a computer repair shop in Delaware in 2019. In the news published by the New York Post newspaper in 2020, it was stated that the contents of the computer contained documents indicating that Hunter Biden was pressuring the Kyiv government to dismiss the attorney general investigating the Ukrainian energy company.

- It was also written that the contents included images of Hunter Biden, such as sexual content and illegal drug use. Hunter made a sudden decision to marry documentary producer Melissa Cohen in May 2019. In the news reflected in the US media at that time, it was claimed that the couple met in 6 days and decided to get married.

- Hunter Biden reached an agreement with the prosecutor's office in June by accepting charges of not paying federal income tax and owning a gun despite using drugs. However, with the collapse of this agreement and the appointment of David Weiss as a special prosecutor, the trial of the son Biden may be in question.

HE THREATENED HIS FATHER

Hunter Biden's WhatsApp messages were revealed on June 22 as part of an investigation in the US Congress. In July 2017, it was revealed that Hunter had threatened a Chinese business partner due to the influence of his father, who was the former Vice President at the time.
