President Biden and his family, including disgraced first son Hunter Biden, attended a private Mass Monday in Delaware on the 51st anniversary of the car crash that killed the president’s wife and first daughter.
Biden, 81, and Hunter, 53, were joined in St. Joseph in Brandywine near Wilmington by first lady Jill Biden, first daughter Ashley Biden and Hunter’s wife Melissa Cohen and toddler Beau.
The family visited the graves of Neilia and Naomi Biden after the ceremony.
The rally on the anniversary of the 1972 crash, which Hunter and his late brother, Beau, survived, comes as the elder Biden seeks a second four-year term in next year’s election — and as House Republicans investigate Joe Biden’s role in Hunter and brother James’ foreign affairs first while being vice president.
The House voted Wednesday to formally authorize the impeachment inquiry to give him additional authority to enforce subpoenas shortly after Hunter refused to appear for a deposition and instead gave a five-minute dissenting speech outside the Capitol.
The White House said the president was “familiar” with Hunter’s plan ahead of time, which could increase Congress’ obstruction count if articles of impeachment are enacted.

Republicans say Joe Biden improperly boosted Hunter and James Biden’s business interests by meeting with their associates from China, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine, who then allegedly paid off the powerful family with little evidence of services provided.
Democrats say Joe Biden has done nothing wrong, and Hunter argued last week that some of his past actions were linked to his addiction to crack cocaine following the death of his brother, Beau, from brain cancer in 2015.
Joe Biden himself has vehemently insisted he never discussed business or met with the foreign associate — even though photos and other records show he did.

In addition to the impeachment inquiry, Hunter faces federal felony charges for firearms violations in Delaware and tax fraud in Los Angeles after exiting in July a plea deal pending a trial-only lawsuit for guaranteed immunity for other past conduct, such as alleged violations of the Act Foreign Agent Registration, which could involve his father.
