{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}President Joe Biden's son Hunter was spotted vacationing with the family on South Carolina's affluent Kiawah Island on Friday as legal questions regarding his foreign business dealings and tax practices continue to swirl.
The Biden family flew to South Carolina on Thursday for a vacation that is expected to last one week.
In the photos from the vacation obtained by Fox News Digital, Hunter, his wife Melissa Cohen and what appears to be their 2-year-old son Beau can be seen frolicking in the South Carolina surf.

The president and the first lady departed the White House by motorcade to Joint Base Andrews outside the capital, where Air Force One was on hand to take them to Joint Base Charleston.

The Bidens are staying at a nine-bedroom private residence owned by prominent Democrat donor and friend of the family Maria Allwin.

The residence is valued at $20 million, the New York Post reported, and a source told the outlet that the Bidens are staying at the home free of charge.

The Associated Press reported that the White House did not respond to requests to provide details on Biden’s vacation schedule, activities or when exactly he planned to return to Washington, D.C.

In addition, an investigation into Hunter’s tax affairs, which began in 2018, has reached a "critical stage," a source told Fox News Digital last month. Officials are looking into whether to charge the first son with various tax violations and possible foreign lobbying violations.
