Former First Son Hunter Biden became quite an infamous character during his father’s political career, banking millions for ending up on the board of directors for foreign companies like Ukrainian gas giant Burisma, selling paintings for huge sums that would have fetched very little had his father not been the president of the United States, penning an autobiography, and even reportedly acting in an advisory capacity during Joe’s ill-fated reelection campaign.

Hunter also cost taxpayers a whole lot of money, according to The Center Square:

The Biden administration spent more than $10 million over three years on a security detail and related expenses for former First Son Hunter Biden after denying similar protections to other high-profile political figures, documents obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America and shared exclusively with The Center Square show.

The security detail for former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, cost nearly $11 million, including on travel, real estate and expensive hotels, according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request CASA filed.

Sounds like Hunter was living quite the life of luxury:

The documents from Jan. 1, 2022, to Dec. 31, 2024, indicate that the Biden administration spent nearly $9.3 million on hotels, $1.1 million on air and rail travel, and nearly $600,000 on car transportation and rentals for Hunter Biden's Secret Service detail.

As we reported, President Trump finally ended Hunter’s USSS protection in March, along with that of his half-sister Ashley’s.

Trump just revoked Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection?

He may have gotten a Pardon from daddy, but he won’t be living off taxpayer dollars anymore

If you’re not outraged yet, though, there’s more:

Nearly all costs – 95% – were incurred in California, where Hunter Biden often resided, but also were incurred on expensive trips to the Virgin Islands, Nantucket, and Santa Ynez, California.

“If the Biden Secret Service was truly low on funding and staffing as they claimed in July 2024, the American people deserve answers as to why their priorities were so grossly misaligned,” [CASA Director James] Fitzpatrick said.

According to the documents, taxpayer-funded Secret Service expenses for Hunter Biden included multiple trips to Nantucket, an exclusive island off of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

This included several hundred thousand dollars spent for a 2022 Thanksgiving trip to Nantucket, including $10,000 on golf cart rentals, $120,000 on lodging with $740 nightly hotel rates; $120,000 on travel cards, among other expenses.

That’s only a partial list of the vast expenses. The USSS also reportedly rented out a $30K a month house in Malibu to keep an eye on their protectee. Meanwhile, as we all know, the Secret Service seemed ill-prepared for the oh-so-close assassination attempt against then-candidate Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July of ’24.

Hunter's is not the only Secret Service protection the president put a stop to—after it was discovered that Biden had extended former Vice President Kamala Harris’ for a full year, Trump nipped that in the bud too, earlier this month, as we’ve reported.

I suspect we’ll be learning more and more information about the Biden family’s grift for years.
