Despite the controversy surrounding his business dealings, Hunter Biden was invited to accompany his father on a trip to Ireland this week to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
The trip has been seen as an effort by President Biden to demonstrate the United States’ commitment to the peace process in Northern Ireland. Biden has a personal connection to the region, as his great-grandfather was born in Ireland.
However, the trip has also raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest given the ongoing investigations into Hunter’s business dealings. Some Republicans and media outlets have alleged that Hunter may have used the trip to further his financial interests.
President Biden has not commented on the controversy surrounding his son’s business dealings, but he has defended his son in the past, saying that he is “proud” of him and that he has “great confidence” in him. Nevertheless, the controversy is likely to continue to dog the Biden administration as long as the investigations into Hunter’s business dealings remain ongoing.
