Hunter Biden missed his family’s tropical getaway, staying in California over the holiday period and meeting with his lawyer amid mounting legal problems.
The first son, 53, is in the Golden State as he faces a series of tax-related charges in California over allegations that he failed to pay more than $1.4 million to the IRS.

As Biden takes a break ahead of the politically tumultuous year ahead, Hunter and Cohen were spotted sharing lunch together in the United States.
The couple, who met in 2019 and married after just six days of knowing each other, ate at the Cholada Thai Beach restaurant for almost an hour.

Earlier in the day, Hunter visited his lawyer’s home in California, where Morris was captured in exclusive DailyMail.com footage smoking a pipe from his balcony while Hunter was present earlier this year.
Morris is known as Hunter’s ‘sugar brother’ and reportedly paid $2.8 million of the first son’s tax debts on his behalf.
Morris, 60, was a Hollywood lawyer known for running a prestigious law firm that handled some of the industry’s most high-profile cases and clients.
He negotiated a pair of contracts totaling $1.4 billion for the creators of the satirical cartoon South Park, whom he had met at the Sundance Film Festival in 1994.
Their friendship blossomed and he later won a Tony Award as producer of her hit musical The Book of Mormon.
Hunter arrived for a meeting on Wednesday at the home of his lawyer Kevin Morris, who was captured earlier this year in exclusive DailyMail.com footage smoking from a large hookah on the balcony of his Los Angeles home.
Throughout his career, Morris has represented several Hollywood elites, including Courtney Cox and Mathew McConaughey, as well as television executive Doug Herzog and producer Tom Lassally.
“I don’t have much need for lawyers,” Cox told variety during a launch party for one of the lawyer’s books in 2014, “But If I Do, I Turn to Kevin.”
Morris also allegedly dabbled in underhanded tricks to obtain information from Hunter’s enemies.
The lawyer was accused of lying to get onto the set of My Son Hunter, a film designed to show Biden in the worst possible light with stories about his drug use, partying and allegedly corrupt business dealings.
