In a recent report from Wednesday, close allies of President Biden disclosed that the president is privately anxious about the criminal investigation into his son, Hunter Biden. According to Politico, White House confidants have noticed visible signs of worry in President Biden's demeanor, with one confidant stating, "You can see it in his eyes, and you can see his shoulders slump. He's so worried about Hunter. And we're worried it could consume him."

Even former Sen. Chris Dodd, a Democrat, expressed concern for President Biden, stating, "I know when he hurts. He doesn't talk about it much, most of us don't. He has a real human decency, and a lot of it is created by scarring. And he's worried."

While the White House has emphasized that the president does not interfere in matters before the Justice Department, insiders reveal that fears about the upcoming campaign and potential criminal trial have become a constant source of weight on the president. Those close to President Biden have mentioned that he has confided in them, expressing worries that his son could potentially relapse into addiction.

Hunter Biden's recent appearance on Capitol Hill for a press conference garnered significant attention. During the conference, he lashed out at Republicans and notably refused to sit for a deposition before Congress. Hunter also made a statement declaring that his father, President Biden, was never "financially involved" in his business dealings.

The president's aides have reportedly faced challenges in dealing with Biden's outbursts whenever his son becomes the subject of conversation. Politico reports that President Biden, who is now 81 years old, has become highly sensitive about his son and has even reprimanded aides who broached the topic as an electoral liability. Many close aides now prefer to avoid the subject altogether, fearing that it may provoke the president's temper.

Recent reports suggest that Hunter Biden himself harbors concerns, privately expressing that he "might have to flee the country if Trump were to be elected president again," according to sources who have spoken to him.

Despite the president's allies attempting to downplay the potential impact, Democrats remain apprehensive about the potential damage the Hunter Biden saga could inflict on President Biden's prospects for the 2024 election.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has consistently stated that President Biden is proud of his son when questioned about the matter. However, the Biden campaign declined to provide a comment when approached by Fox News Digital.

As the investigation into Hunter Biden's actions continues, it remains to be seen how the ongoing development may influence President Biden's presidency and his future political aspirations.
