The White House is bracing for the political fallout from the charging decision in the Hunter Biden case.
And they’ve concluded that Republicans will attack them over it whether President Joe Biden’s son is criminally indicted or not.
In conversations, Democrats and senior West Wing aides are downplaying the potential impact, arguing Hunter Biden was a factor in the 2020 election and voters elected his father anyway. They point out the president’s top rival, Donald Trump, was just indicted himself.
But people close to Biden still worry about the personal toll it will take on a father who has already felt anguish about a son’s struggles amid a long history of family tragedy. And they wonder how long he can compartmentalize personal anger with the attacks on Hunter and the political calculation that he’s better off not responding to it. Biden has long agonized over the fate of his surviving son, expressing that worry in phone calls with longtime friends and to Hunter himself.
Attorneys for Hunter Biden met at Justice Department headquarters in Washington last week to discuss the tax- and gun-related case with prosecutors, according to a person familiar with the matter. Often a signal that an investigation is concluding, such meetings are used by defense lawyers to urge prosecutors to refrain from seeking an indictment or to consider reduced charges. The probe has centered on whether Biden failed to report all of his income and whether he lied on a form for buying a gun. His attorneys declined comment.
“Obviously, the Biden team would hope that this investigation does not result in an indictment for a multitude of reasons,” said Jennifer Palmieri, who served as President Barack Obama’s communications director. “But the Republicans have failed — both in the 2020 campaign and in their 2023 congressional hearings — to have questions about Hunter Biden impact public opinion and I don’t think they will succeed now, regardless of what DOJ decides.”
There is no Hunter Biden war room at the White House, according to four people familiar granted anonymity to speak freely. Defense for the president’s son is being handled by his personal attorneys and the White House is not involved with legal matters.
The campaign and the Democratic National Committee officials will likely take the lead in responding to political inquiries, while White House staffers will respond if the accusations touch on official government business.

House Republicans have unveiled what they say are records of $10m (£8m) in payments to members of the Biden family from foreign entities.
Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said Joe Biden's relatives had used the family name to enrich themselves, and the president was "involved".
The report itself does not substantiate these claims or implicate Mr Biden. It does not allege illegal conduct.
The White House called the report "baseless innuendo".
Republican leaders pledged to aggressively investigate Mr Biden, his administration and his family when they took over control of the US House of Representatives in last year's midterm election.
Mr Comer has faced pressure from within his party to release findings from the House Oversight Committee's ongoing inquiry into the Biden family.
In January, he said he would investigate "influence peddling" by Mr Biden's family.
Wednesday's report is the most detailed accounting yet of what House Republicans say they have uncovered.
The roughly 30-page report detailed what lawmakers say are various companies and financial records tied to family members of Mr Biden, including his son, Hunter Biden, and daughter-in-law, Hallie Biden.
The report contains records of bank transactions, obtained through subpoena, that Republican lawmakers allege are linked to Romania and China.
"We believe that the president has been involved in this from the very beginning. Obviously, we're going to continue to look," Mr Comer told reporters Wednesday.
The report does not show payments to Mr Biden.
Neither does it provide explicit evidence to back up the Republican lawmakers' central claim that Mr Biden's family sought to enrich itself using the family name, or that these business dealings influenced Mr Biden.
Mr Comer and his colleagues stopped short of alleging illegal activity.
"Congressman Comer has a history of playing fast and loose with the facts and spreading baseless innuendo while refusing to conduct his so-called 'investigations' with legitimacy," White House spokesman Ian Sams told BBC in a statement.
"He has hidden information from the public to selectively leak and promote his own hand-picked narratives as part of his overall effort to lob personal attacks at the President and his family," Mr Sams added.
Republicans have vowed to aggressively investigate President Biden and his family after congressional Democrats investigated and impeached Donald Trump twice during his presidency.
They wrested control of the US House of Representatives from the Democrats in last year's midterm election, granting them power over committees and the ability to conduct investigations and oversight of the Biden administration.
Republicans have focused on Mr Biden's younger son, Hunter Biden, and his foreign business dealings.
Federal prosecutors are currently investigating Hunter Biden over issues with his taxes and a gun purchase. He has been under investigation since 2018.
Hunter Biden has struggled publicly with addiction and has faced scrutiny for his personal business dealings.
The White House maintains his father was not involved in and did not benefit from his work.
