The triumphs and tragedies of the Bidens are embedded in Wilmington, Del., where the president’s son now faces a legal ordeal
WILMINGTON, Del. — Hunter Biden was struggling with a bad stretch of his long addiction when he typed out a message reflecting on the link between his problems and his childhood home — the memories both good and bad, the people there who could lift him up but also drag him down.
. Nearby is the Brandywine Zoo, where Hunter Biden had his first job, shoveling llama manure and unclogging the drain of the otter pool, according to his memoir.This week’s trial opens another chapter in the Bidens’ long history in Wilmington, one that could prove tumultuous even for a family familiar with trauma and public scrutiny.
“When it came to Beau and Hunter, they were close to me,” said Ricky “Mouse” Smith, who has known Joe Biden since they met as teenagers at a local swimming pool. “I’m here to basically say, ‘I support him.’ It’s wrong what they are doing to him.
Later, Wilmington launched Beau Biden to become Delaware’s attorney general, before he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Wilmington is where Beau’s funeral took place in 2015. Also by then, Hunter was struggling with addiction and his marriage was falling apart. Kathleen told him that she and their three daughters would not be spending the week with him, but would live in a separate home in Wilmington.
