Alas, it appears that the Ashley Madison scandal had further implications for Hunter Biden than just that of a married man seemingly stepping outside of his marriage. According to Biden, although the email address used on the Ashley Madison site was his, he claims that he had ceased using it after he had suspected it had been compromised. “This is unfortunately not the first time that someone has used my name and identity to try to discredit me,” he told Breitbart News. “From my understanding through press accounts, it is very easy to set up an account without someone’s knowledge as there is no requirement that an email address be verified and I am certain that is what happened in this case,” he added.
Unnamed spokespeople for Biden also told the news site that his international business foes had made attempts to steal his personal data. While they did not disclose who that entailed, many looked to Russia. As you may recall, Biden raised many eyebrows when he was hired by Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas firm, in 2014. As the son of a vice president, Biden was completely within his legal rights to attach himself to the company, but the move was definitely called into question by many, citing moral and ethical implications.
