‘He can't if he's in jail’: Hunter Biden gets mocked as he fears he'll have to flee US if Trump is elected
WASHINGTON, DC: Hunter Biden has reportedly expressed concerns about the possibility of leaving the country if President Donald Trump is reelected.
Biden has faced personal political attacks and legal troubles, with Republicans targeting him as evidence of alleged corruption during his father, Joe Biden's tenure as Vice President from 2009 to 2017.
The younger Biden is facing multiple charges, including three felony and six misdemeanor charges, which could result in a prison sentence of 17 years if convicted.
This has prompted his father, the 81-year-old sitting US president, to worry about his son's welfare, given his past struggles with substance abuse.
Additionally, Hunter Biden reportedly fears being made a scapegoat, or targeted further, prompting an increasing number of attacks on him should President Trump be reelected in 2024.
Hunter Biden anticipating 'intense scrutiny' during 2024 elections
According to two sources cited by Politico, Hunter Biden has informed his family friends that he anticipates facing intense scrutiny during the upcoming election campaign.
He is also said to be contemplating leaving the United States if his father loses the election to the Republican frontrunner.
Recently, he expressed his concerns publicly while conversing with musician Moby during a podcast.
“What they’re trying to do is they're trying to kill me, knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle — and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way,” Hunter revealed on the ‘Moby Pod’.
Donald Trump has frequently criticized Hunter Biden, and there are indications that, if he is reelected, he will establish an administration that takes a more hard-line stance, staffed by ultra-loyalists willing to flout legal and constitutional norms.
Meanwhile, individuals close to the President state that Joe Biden is deeply concerned about his son's potentially relapsing back to addictive habits due to the pressure he is under.
One individual remarked, "You can see it in his eyes, and you can see his shoulders slump. He's so worried about Hunter. And we're worried it could consume him."

According to multiple insiders, Biden maintains daily contact with his son and has established a support network to assist him.
Chris Dodd, a former Senator who has been close to the President for over four decades, explained to the news outlet, "I know when he hurts. He doesn't talk about it much, most of us don't."
Dodd added, "He has a real human decency, and a lot of it is created by scarring. And he's worried."
On Wednesday, December 13, the political landscape was marked by another day of high drama.
The Republican party had previously established a deadline for Hunter Biden, the younger son of Joe Biden, to appear before them and testify in private regarding his business activities.
However, Hunter Biden rejected the request, insisting that he would only deliver his testimony in public.
In a rare public speech, he criticized the investigation, stating that it was based on "distortions, manipulated evidence, and lies."
Hunter said, “They have taken the light of my father's love for me and done their best to turn it into darkness. They have no shame.”
President Biden incorporates checking on his son, Hunter, into his daily routine, and Hunter frequently visits Camp David, the family residence in Delaware, and the White House.
This decision reflects the President's inclination to draw Hunter closer to the family, despite providing his critics with an opportunity to launch an attack on him.
According to insiders, aides have stopped questioning this approach after the President expressed his disagreement with anyone who questioned whether Hunter was an electoral liability.
