Joe Biden Pays Tribute To Late Son — Amid Family Sex Scandal

Former Vice-President Joe Biden made his first public appearance since a family sex scandal broke out — as he traveled to Texas to pay tribute to his late son Beau! The politician addressed his fight in D.C. to fund research into the killer disease even as his son died at the age of 46 from brain cancer. But that death has also brought on a storm of gossip, with The National ENQUIRER learning that Beau's widow ran off with her brother-in-law Hunter, who ended up in his own messy divorce after being busted on cocaine charges in 2014!

Biden didn't mention the ongoing scandal while addressing attendees at the South by Southwest tech summit in Austin. He did, however, salute the spirit of Beau as his continuing inspiration to devote more government resources to fighting cancer. It also seems that the family patriarch has battled some internal feuding, with Hunter and his estranged wife now covering up their very public divorce after shocking charges by Kathleen Biden!

Kathleen's divorce papers accused Hunter Biden of leaving her broke while chasing after hookers — although he's now gone public with dating Beau's widow Hallie. In court, however, Hunter was accused of creating “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.”

Joe publicly expressed his support for Hunter and Hallie finding happiness together, even as The ENQUIRER caught Hallie out while still wearing Beau's wedding ring. And now Barack Obama's former Vice-Prez is overseeing a media blackout on Hunter and Kathleen's divorce — with the couple suddenly declaring in a filing: "The parties recognize the benefit to themselves, their children, and their families in moving to finalize their divorce amicably and privately."
