Biden administration officials raised concerns about Hunter Biden appearing in public with President Joe Biden while authorities investigated him for tax and gun violations, emails released upon a FOIA request show. Hunter made a series of public appearances with his father between 2021 and 2023. The appearances seemed to be a part of a public relations scheme to normalize the revelations discovered on his “laptop from hell.” The public appearances were not welcomed by Biden officials, who scrambled to handle the implications of potential indictments, according to emails released by the State Department under FOIA.
