The origin story of Hunter Biden is, at its core, a tragedy: At 3 years old, he was a young toddler gravely injured in a Christmastime car crash that took the lives of his baby sister and his beloved mother. His father, Joseph, had just been elected as a senator and was faced with soldiering on without his wife and raising Hunter along with his brother, Beau.
The tragedy doesn’t end there because Hunter Biden’s story only gets worse. He wouldn’t go on to overcome these circumstances but instead succumbed to them. Faced with drug addiction, multiple run-ins with the law, and an illegitimate child he refused to acknowledge, let alone build a relationship with, Hunter Biden passed along his trauma generationally to his daughter. And now, he’s in need of a pardon from his dear old father, now President Joe Biden, to stay a free man.
