The White House is bracing for the political fallout from the charging decision in the Hunter Biden case.And they’ve concluded that Republicans will attack them over it whether President Joe Biden’s son is criminally indicted or not.In conversations, Democrats and senior West Wing aides are downplaying the potential impact, arguing Hunter Biden was a factor in the 2020 election and voters elected his father anyway.

And they wonder how long he can compartmentalize personal anger with the attacks on Hunter and the political calculation that he’s better off not responding to it. Biden has long agonized over the fate of his surviving son, expressing that worry in phone calls with longtime friends and to Hunter himself.Attorneys fo...
