President-elect Joe Biden expressed support for his son Hunter Biden on Friday in his first public comment on the matter since the presidential transition team disclosed that the 50-year-old businessman’s “tax affairs” were under federal investigation. HUNTER BIDEN 'TAX AFFAIRS' UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION“I’m proud of my son,” Biden said as he exited the stage. Hunter Biden disclosed earlier this week that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware had an active investigation into his tax history. “I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” Hunter Biden said in a statement. During the 2020 presidential campaign, President Trump accused Hunter Biden of leveraging his father’s political influence to personally enrich himself through overseas business dealings.
