California Gov. Gavin Newsom has long been associated with Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Newsom, currently embroiled in a scandal surrounding his ties to shady business deals, recently justified his actions by providing his direct email address and suggesting people contact him with their questions. Newsom’s connections to Hunter Biden date back to at least 2014, when the two reportedly met in San Francisco and discussed climate change. Additionally, Newsom and Hunter Biden have reportedly teamed up to raise money for various campaigns in California. It remains to be seen how Newsom’s alleged close relationship with Hunter Biden will affect his reelection bid in 2022.
