US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, has become a serious obstacle to the re-election of his father as head of state for a second term in 2024, writes The Wall Street Journal.

On January 11, 2024, Hunter is scheduled to appear before a federal district court in the state of California on a $1.4 million tax evasion case.

On December 13, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had announced that Joe Biden has no intention of pardoning his son if he is found guilty.
