Hunter Biden celebrates Fourth of July with president, as Republicans vow to probe business deals

Hunter Biden turned up for this year’s White House Independence Day celebration amid growing calls by Republicans to investigate the scandal-plagued 52-year-old’s business dealings.

Mr. Biden was joined by his South African filmmaker wife Melissa Cohen and their 2-year-old son, Beau, for a weekend with the president and first lady at Camp David before attending the Fourth of July cookout and watching the fireworks display from the White House.

The high-profile appearance follows a July 1 op-ed in the New York Post in which House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and GOP Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and James Comer of Kentucky pledged to investigate Hunter Biden’s “shady business dealings” should Republicans take the majority in this year’s midterm elections.
