Joseph R. Biden Jr., the 46th President of the United States (2021–2025), has been subject to various investigations and allegations, but no criminal charges have been ultimately brought against him as of May 2026. A significant investigation by Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded in February 2024 that there was insufficient evidence to establish Biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt regarding the mishandling of classified documents. The report indicated that Biden had retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency, but it found that he likely treated some documents as personal property and did not knowingly break the law (justice.gov). Similarly, a subsequent report by Special Counsel David Weiss in January 2025 detailed convictions of Biden family members for tax crimes and firearms offenses, but these did not directly involve President Biden himself (justice.gov). Throughout his career, Biden has faced allegations related to his family's financial dealings and foreign influence peddling. House investigations concluded that Biden and his family received over $27 million from foreign sources, with claims that Biden used his office to benefit his family's business interests, including dealings in Ukraine, China, and Russia. However, reports from congressional committees and the Department of Justice have found no evidence that Biden personally profited from or was involved in these foreign transactions (justthenews.com). Additionally, there have been political efforts to impeach Biden, with some House resolutions alleging abuse of power and high crimes related to his son Hunter Biden's business dealings and alleged influence peddling. Nonetheless, these claims have not resulted in formal charges or convictions, and investigations have often been criticized for lacking concrete evidence against President Biden himself (congress.gov; oversight.house.gov). In summary, while President Biden has been scrutinized for his and his family's financial and political conduct, no criminal convictions or formal charges have been filed against him related to corruption, fraud, or misconduct as of May 2026.
