Joseph R. Biden Jr., the 46th President of the United States (2021–2025), has been subject to various investigations and allegations, though no conclusive evidence of criminal wrongdoing has been publicly established. Several investigations have focused on his family's financial activities and foreign dealings. The U.S. House Oversight Committee has been examining allegations of influence peddling, with reports indicating that Biden and his family received over $20 million from foreign entities, including payments from Romanian and Chinese sources (Wikipedia; oversight.house.gov). These investigations have not resulted in formal charges against Biden himself, but they have fueled ongoing scrutiny.
In addition, the FBI declassified documents in September 2025 suggesting allegations of corruption involving Biden, Hunter Biden, and related entities, though these documents have not led to criminal charges against the President (foxbaltimore.com). Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, faced legal proceedings, including prosecutions by the Department of Justice, which resulted in convictions for some charges; however, President Biden pardoned Hunter on December 1, 2024, before sentencing, effectively ending further legal action on those charges (justice.gov).
There have also been allegations related to Biden’s handling of classified documents, with reports of classified materials found in his former office and personal residence, dating back to his vice presidency and Senate tenure. These incidents prompted investigations but have not resulted in criminal charges against Biden (Wikipedia). Furthermore, efforts to impeach Biden have been initiated, primarily driven by Republican-led investigations and inquiries into alleged misconduct, but no evidence has led to impeachment or conviction (Wikipedia). Overall, while numerous investigations and allegations have been reported, none have resulted in formal convictions or charges against Biden himself as of April 2026.
