How Hunter Biden, Jack Smith, and Trump’s legal troubles are setting the stage for 2024

Hunter Biden's legal troubles and the political implications

Hunter Biden has been indicted on federal firearms and tax crimes, including buying a gun while a frequent user of crack cocaine and willfully failing to file tax returns and pay taxes. Republicans have seized on these legal troubles and investigated Hunter's overseas business dealings, accusing him of illegal lobbying and using his influence for personal gain. The Justice Department has been involved in the investigation and has faced criticism for their handling of the case. Hunter himself has recently taken a more active approach, filing lawsuits against individuals on the right and speaking publicly about his addiction and pride in his work. The politics surrounding Hunter Biden's legal troubles are complex, with Republicans using him as a target to attack the Biden family, and Democrats viewing the issue as baked in and unlikely to sway many voters.
