Joe Biden’s son Hunter was spotted during his expensive vacation on South Carolina’s affluent Kiawah Island.

He appears to be enjoying a relaxing time while a federal grand jury is considering possible criminal charges related to money laundering, tax fraud, and more.

Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen are seen in photos with their 2-year-old son Beau.

The Biden family vacation is expected to last one week.

They are staying at a nine-bedroom private residence owned by prominent Democrat donor Maria Allwin.

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.

The Biden vacation comes the same week Fox News Digital reported that Hunter Biden and his longtime business partner Eric Schwerin were actively working behind the scenes in 2016 to solicit donations for a top former Biden adviser’s congressional campaign while also working on Chinese business deals with the adviser’s business partner.

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.
