WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden has gone on the offensive against his Republican critics. Biden is arguing in a lawsuit against the IRS that although he is the son of the president of the United States, he shouldn’t be treated differently than any other American. The lawsuit is only the latest in a series of counterpunches by President Joe Biden’s son. But while Hunter Biden’s lawyers might think that an aggressive approach is the best legal strategy for him, that might not be what’s best for his father as he seeks reelection and tries to keep the public focused on his policy achievements.
