Hunter Biden, amidst recent legal troubles, was among the esteemed guests invited to a White House state dinner on Thursday evening, honoring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his wife. This invitation comes just days after the 53-year-old’s agreement to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax became public.
According to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David C. Weiss’ office, despite owing over $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, Hunter Biden neglected to pay his taxes for both years. Additionally, he will now enter into a pretrial diversion agreement for a separate felony charge related to possessing a firearm as an unlawful user of a controlled substance.
Interestingly, Hunter Biden’s first court appearance on the federal tax charges is scheduled for July, adding further intrigue to his participation in the state dinner at the White House. The presence of Hunter Biden, in light of his legal situation, has garnered attention and raised questions.
In response to inquiries about his son, President Biden proudly affirmed his support for Hunter. The President’s brother, James Biden, who has faced scrutiny over his involvement in foreign family business deals, was also among the guests at the dinner.
It is worth noting that this is not the first state dinner where Hunter Biden has been present during the Biden administration. He previously attended a state dinner last year for French President Emmanuel Macron.
Hunter Biden’s plea deal has faced criticism from Republicans, who argue that he is receiving preferential treatment due to his familial connection to the President. Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee expressed her concerns, suggesting that this plea deal conveniently coincides with the ongoing legal proceedings against former President Trump.
Among the other notable guests in attendance were President Biden’s daughter Ashley Biden, Hunter Biden’s daughter Naomi Biden, Huma Abedin, Ralph Lauren, Tim Cook, Billie Jean King, M. Night Shyamalan, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Overall, the inclusion of Hunter Biden at the state dinner provokes discussions and debate surrounding his legal troubles and the potential implications of his presence at such a high-profile event.
