The Bidens maintained their innocence, and neither Paradigm nor the Bidens were ever officially connected to any criminal wrongdoing.

That\u2019s not easy, and it is particularly difficult to accomplish if you\u2019re a crack addict. And it\u2019s important to note that during this time period, there is no evidence that he was. So what changed?<\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/30\/books\/hunter-biden-beautiful-things-memoir.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biography, <em>Beautiful Things<\/em>, Hunter Biden acknowledged<\/a>, \u201cIn the last five years alone, my two-decades-long marriage has dissolved, guns have been put in my face, and at one point I dropped clean off the grid, living in $59-a-night Super 8 motels off I-95 while scaring my family even more than myself.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mirandadevine\/status\/1632195320812654593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Miranda Devine\u2019s<\/a> aptly named <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Laptop-Hell-Hunter-Secrets-President\/dp\/163758105X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laptop from Hell<\/a><\/em> provides even more salacious details of this time period. A complete explanation of what triggered Hunter\u2019s unprecedented \u201cbender\u201d from 2016 to 2019 may never be fully understood, but the idea that the only story here is simply one of a father\u2019s love redeeming an addict who simply made some bad decisions betrays the more obvious backstory.<\/p>\n<p>The discoveries from the laptop and reports in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-biden-family-corruption-story-is-more-about-love-of-money-than-love-of-hunter\/\" title=\"Biden family corruption: Money over Hunter's love.\">friendly media outlets corroborate<\/a> the claim that Joe Biden was actively involved in helping Hunter find his way back to sobriety. However, the first public <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/hannity-airs-joe-biden-private-voicemail-hunter-biden-1750602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">evidence<\/a> of any significant effort toward that end by the elder Biden prior appears to be his heart-wrenching voicemail left on Oct. 15, 2018, after he had decided to run for president again.
