Yesterday, The Political Insider reported on a major shake-up involving former Vice President Joe Biden’s family. Biden confirmed that the wife of his late son, Beau, has been romantically involved with Beau’s brother, Hunter, who is estranged from his wife. But now things have taken a strange turn.
It has been confirmed that Hunter and his wife Kathleen are in the process of getting a divorce. The New York Post has obtained the divorce papers, which appear to show there’s more to this story than we previously thought.

From Page Six:
“His spending rarely relates to legitimate family expenses, but focuses on his own travel (at times multiple hotel rooms on the same night), gifts for other women, alcohol, strip clubs, or other personal indulgences,” Kathleen Biden says of Hunter in the papers filed in Washington, DC, Superior Court on Feb. 23.
In filing the explosive allegations, Kathleen — who lives with the youngest of the couple’s three daughters in the capital — is seeking to limit Hunter, 47, to a $5,000-a-month allowance.
She is demanding that she and their daughters, in turn, receive a $20,000 monthly allowance.
“Throughout the parties’ separation Mr. Biden has created financial concerns for the family by spending extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills,” Kathleen says of Hunter in the filing.
Divorces can be ugly, and the allegations made by Hunter Biden’s soon-to-be ex wife are extremely explosive, and suggest the Biden family was riddled with internal chaos and controversy. The New York Post also reports that Hunter’s lavish spending has left his wife and children financially ruined:
Kathleen’s legal maneuvering comes after Hunter allegedly blew through $122,000 in just two months, her papers say. Meanwhile, he cut back the money he sent to his wife and their kids to $7,500 from $17,000 a month, her papers say.

Kathleen’s papers do not name her husband’s purported paramours. She claims that if the court doesn’t rein in Hunter’s spending soon, she and the kids will soon be broke. Hunter has already “maxed out available cash advances” on his American Express credit card, the filing says. And the family is in a deep financial hole. They owe $313,970 in taxes, have a double mortgage on their home and recently bounced three checks to a housekeeper, according to the filing.
If these allegations made against Hunter Biden’s wife are true it raises the question to what extent these personal issues, aside from the tragic death of his other son Beau, forced Vice President Biden to decide against a 2016 presidential bid.
We’ve been told that the death of Joe’s son, Beau, was a major factor in Biden’s decision not to run. If Hunter’s wife’s allegations are true, could this family secret have contributed to the former vice president walking away form politics when the Democrat party needed him most?
