Hunter Biden’s imminent tax trial is the talk of the town, set to kick off with jury selection on September 5, a much-anticipated affair after a four-month delay. This trial comes at a time when Joe Biden, once the powerful Vice President, appears to have lost the protective influence that had previously shielded his son from the scrutiny of the law. The elder Biden’s political career may be waning, having effectively handed the reins over to Kamala Harris following a disastrous debate against Donald Trump. Just like that, his son finds himself facing his own reckoning.
The allegations against Hunter Biden are serious, stemming from an impressive $1.4 million in tax dollar evasion between 2016 and 2019—those lush years marked by addiction following his brother’s death. It’s not as if Hunter’s life during those years was filled with wholesome activities; instead, it was reportedly fueled by a spiral into drug use, pornography, and extravagant spending. Let’s hope the jurors have a strong stomach for what they will hear over the coming weeks.

While Hunter Biden may have felt safe under the umbrella of his father’s previous influence, the winds have shifted. After a failed plea deal that was squashed by a federal judge, things have taken a turn for the worse, leading to six tax-related charges—three felonies and three misdemeanors. This unfortunate situation could result in up to 17 years behind bars if he is found guilty. Imagine the prison guards’ faces when they realize they have a member of the First Family on their hands.
This trial promises to air out some of Hunter’s more, shall we say, colorful life choices. Beyond the tax evasion accusations, the prosecution will delve into his extravagant expenditures on “adult entertainment” and other vices that seem wholly at odds with the responsibility of paying taxes. One can imagine the courtroom becoming an arena of sensational revelations, perhaps putting an end to any remaining illusions that Hunter Biden is just a misunderstood soul trying to forge his path in the world.
Adding insult to injury, the case threatens to resurrect darker tidbits about the Biden family’s foreign dealings that have previously mired Joe Biden’s reputation. Evidence linking Hunter’s financial escapades with unsavory characters from China, Ukraine, and beyond has raised eyebrows for years, and the current trial may provide the public a glimpse into how Hunter’s lucrative ventures may have directly benefitted his father. In the face of growing evidence and testimony from whistleblowers, any hope of sweeping this whole mess under the rug seems increasingly unrealistic.
While the elder Biden’s focus should likely be on how to regain a semblance of favor in his party following a shaky grip on leadership, he might also want to consider that the walls are slowly closing in on his family’s long-standing secrets. As the trial begins, all bets are off regarding what will unfold, and one thing is for sure: political families aren’t what they used to be. Hunter Biden’s road is rocky, and the attention is now aimed squarely in his direction.
