Former US President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, on Friday, enjoying a low-key outing with his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, and their young son, Beau Biden Jr. The family was seen driving a modest rented Toyota sedan, a stark contrast to the black Chevy Suburbans that once accompanied him during his father's presidency.
Hunter, now without Secret Service protection, was photographed strolling along Sea Point Main Road, a popular and affluent area in Cape Town. The family paid for street parking and made a stop at a local butcher, with no visible security in tow.
This marks Hunter Biden’s first public sighting since Biden, now 82, revealed his cancer diagnosis. It also follows Donald Trump’s controversial move in March to revoke Hunter’s extended Secret Service protection, a benefit his father had granted him during his time in office. Usually, children of former presidents only have such protection till they turn 16, Fox News reported.
Trump's decision came during Hunter’s previous visit to South Africa. His absence of security detail this time suggests the order has since been enforced.
Meanwhile, back in Washington, Republicans are intensifying efforts to investigate what they claim is a deliberate cover-up of Joe Biden’s alleged cognitive decline. Senators Eric Schmitt and John Cornyn announced a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing set for 18 June. The panel will explore claims that Biden’s aides and media allies hid his deteriorating mental state during his presidency.
Witnesses for the hearing are still being finalised, but it is expected to be the first full congressional session dedicated to the issue.
