2023: Liberal reporters avoided asking Biden about Hunter's growing legal woes in formal interviews

For much of 2023, President Biden didn't get questions about the growing scandals plaguing his son Hunter during friendly interviews with liberal journalists.

But perhaps the biggest clouds hovering over his re-election bid going into the new year are the legal troubles facing his son Hunter. Yet in formal sit-down interviews he granted this year, the subject was rarely if ever broached. Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital.

Hunter Biden was hit with multiple rounds of indictments this year. The first was in June out of Delaware when he pleaded guilty to tax crimes and reached what was widely regarded by critics as a "sweetheart" deal with the Department of Justice on a felony gun change, a deal that ultimately fell apart upon scrutiny –  he went on to plead not guilty on the gun change in October. The second was in December, this time out of California, for additional tax crimes.
