Hunter Biden was seen at the White House Easter Egg Roll event alongside his father, President Biden, amidst reports of House Republicans considering potential criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
Arriving at the White House with his wife and son after spending the Easter weekend at Camp David, the Biden family's presence comes as Republicans investigate alleged Biden family corruption as part of an impeachment inquiry into the president.
Following a joint hearing last week that included testimonies from former business associates of Hunter Biden, reports emerged that criminal referrals were being contemplated by House committees. The White House has denied allegations of Biden's involvement in his son's business dealings.
Although specific targets for the potential criminal referrals have not been disclosed, this move could serve as a way for Republicans to address concerns regarding the alleged influence-peddling scheme without the necessary votes for impeachment.
Hunter Biden's recent appearances, including attending his father's New York City fundraiser, have drawn attention. The Biden family has faced scrutiny for their transparency, with Hunter's visits not being included in White House visitor logs despite claims of being transparent.
While many events attended by Hunter Biden were ceremonial, questions have been raised about his use of such occasions for personal financial gain during the Obama administration.
