NEW YORK (AP) – Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden and an ongoing target for Conservatives, has a memoir that appears on April 6.
The book is called ‘Beautiful Things’ and will focus on the younger Biden’s well-known fight against drug abuse, according to Gallery Books, a print by Simon & Schuster. “Nice things” obtained in the fall of 2019 were monitored, while Biden’s business activities during the election became a fixation of then-President Donald Trump and others and his finances a matter of investigation by the Department of Justice. has become.
“Beautiful Things” has been distributed among several authors and contains advance praise from Stephen King, Dave Eggers and Anne Lamott.
“In his disturbing and compulsively readable memoirs, Hunter Biden proves once again that anyone – even the son of a US president – can ride the pink horse in the nightmare,” King wrote in his blurb. Biden remembers it all and tells it with a courage that is heartbreaking and wonderful. He begins with a question: Where is Hunter? The answer is that he is in this book, the good, the bad and the beautiful. ‘
In a snippet released by Gallery, Biden writes in his book, “I come from a family forged by tragedies and bound by a remarkable, unbreakable love.”
During one of last fall’s presidential debates, Joe Biden defended his son against attacks by Trump.
“My son, like many people, like many people you know at home, has had a drug problem,” the Democratic candidate said. “He passed it. He corrected it. He worked on it, and I’m proud of him. I’m proud of my son. ”
Hunter Biden, who turned 51 on Thursday, is the president’s oldest surviving child, who lost his first wife and one-year-old daughter, Naomi, in a car accident in 1972, and his son Beau Biden to brain cancer in 2015. . The title of Hunter’s book refers to an expression he and his brother would use after each other from Beau’s diagnosis with each other, to emphasize what is important in life.
Hunter Biden is a lawyer and former lobbyist whose work led to Trump receiving the first indictment. Biden joined the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma in 2014, around the time his father, then U.S. vice president, helped drive the Obama administration’s foreign policy in the region. Trump and others have insisted that Biden use his father’s name, and they have raised unfounded allegations of corruption. The House of Representatives voted in 2019 to accuse Trump after learning that he had put the Ukrainian president under pressure to announce that he was investigating the Bidens. Trump was acquitted by the Senate.
Last December, Hunter Biden confirmed that the Department of Justice was investigating his tax affairs, and The Associated Press subsequently reported that he had received a subpoena in which he was asked about his interaction with numerous business entities. Although Trump has publicly made it clear that he wants a special advocate to handle the investigation, then-Attorney General William Barr did not appoint one. Praying to deny the wrongfulness.
Financial terms for ‘Beautiful Things’, co-written with author and journalist Drew Jubera, have not been released. Biden and his publisher are likely to receive criticism from Republicans for his memoirs, although books by presidential family members are nothing new. During Trump’s presidency, son Donald Trump Jr. two books released, “Triggered” and “Liberal Privilege.”
New York publishers regularly hire writers with a wide range of political views, and Simon & Schuster have published books by Trump and Sean Hannity, along with such anti-Trump bestsellers as former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s “The Room Where It Happened “and” The Room Where It Happened “and presidential niggie Mary Trump’s” Too Much and Never Enough. ”
The publisher signed a book last fall by a prominent Trump supporter in Washington, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, but dropped it following Hawley’s support. for the January 6 rally that led to the violent siege of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters who mistakenly believed the president had been re-elected.
