Michelle Obama spotted with Hunter Biden's ex-wife at swanky DC hotspot
Michelle Obama dined with the ex-wife of Hunter Biden in Washington, DC Wednesday night, according to a new report.
The former first lady was spotted having dinner with a group of five others, including Kathleen Biden, at the recently opened Brasserie Liberté, The Hill reports.
The group was seen dining at the Georgetown hotspot for roughly three hours, the report says. Obama was wearing a black button-down shirt and jeans.
Hunter and Kathleen Biden divorced in 2017 after a 22-year marriage that produced two daughters.
During their split and its aftermath, Kathleen leaned on Michelle Obama for support. The two have been friends since Joe Biden joined her husband’s presidential ticket in 2008 and often spend time together going to SoulCycle or on family trips.
The same year as the split, in which Kathleen accused her ex in divorce papers of blowing family funds on drugs and prostitutes, Hunter began dating his widowed sister-in-law Hallie Biden, who lost her husband Beau to brain cancer in 2015, as first reported by Page Six.
Hunter and Hallie dated for about two years before splitting in early 2019.
Recently, Biden has been caught up in a court battle over unpaid child support for a baby he fathered with ex-stripper Lunden Alexis Roberts.
Roberts filed a suit against Hunter in November after he denied being the father of their child, born August 2018, and subsequently declined to pay child support.
The two reached an out-of-court settlement that was filed Monday in which Biden agreed to retroactively pay child support going back to November 2018.
He has since gotten remarried, to a South African woman named Melissa Cohen, whom he wed just 10 days after meeting her. They are now expecting their first child together.
Hunter has since been a mainstay in the news in recent months because of his role as a board member for Ukrainian energy company Burisma while his father Joe served as Vice President.
That involvement with Burisma has placed Hunter and his presidential candidate father in the center of the impeachment inquiry of President Trump.
Democrats have accused Trump of committing a quid pro quo by requesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launch an investigation into the Bidens while withholding $400 million in aid to the country.
Republicans, meanwhile, argue that allegations against the Bidens were damning enough to merit the president asking for a probe, regardless of Joe’s candidacy for president.
Hunter has been accused of profiting off of his father’s government role and vice-presidential status by earning tens of thousands of dollars per month to sit on a board for a corrupt company that he had no prior industry experience in.
A representative for Obama did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
