Hunter Biden's happy family day out: President elect's troubled son is spotted in LA carrying nine-month-old son Beau with wife Melissa, two daughters and Secret Service in tow
Hunter Biden was spotted on a family outing, toting his baby son around on his hip with two of his daughters in tow, hours after dad Joe's victory was finally certified, exclusive DailyMail.com photos show.
The 50-year-old was also accompanied by his South African wife Melissa Cohen, 34. Secret Service agents escorted the family as they grabbed some coffee in Los Angeles hours after Congress certified the vote for Joe Biden in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
The father-of-five, who shares three daughters with his first wife Kathleen and a toddler daughter with his baby mama Lunden Roberts, was seen holding his nine-month old son Beau - named after Hunter's late older brother.
Hunter's daughters Maisy and Finnegan also tagged along for the trip. His eldest daughter Naomi wasn't seen on the outing.
The sighting came a day after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, halting the electoral college vote, with lawmakers being put into lockdown as rioters trashed the building and ransacked offices, including Nancy Pelosi's.
The businessman hasn't been seen in public since November, as last month Hunter confirmed that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware was investigating his tax affairs.

Last month, it was reported Hunter was finally in the process of divesting the 10% he owns in a Chinese investment fund.
A person familiar with the situation told DailyMail.com that Hunter would offload his stake in Bohai Harvest RST, which The Wall Street Journal reported he still owned earlier this week.
President-elect Joe Biden again promised in an interview in December that his son would not be involved in any business dealings that could present a conflict of interest.
'My son, my family will not be involved in any business, any enterprise, that is in conflict with or appears to be a conflict, with the appropriate distance from, the presidency and the government,' the president-elect vowed during a CNN sit-down.
The Journal had reported that a Delaware-registered corporation called Skaneateles LLC, which is controlled by Hunter Biden, still owned a 10% stake in BHR.

Hunter Biden pledged in October 2019 that he wouldn't serve on any foreign boards if his father won the 2020 presidential election.
The statement stopped short on pledging full divestment from foreign entities.

An investigation by the Republican-led Senate found no evidence that Joe Biden had influenced U.S. foreign policy to benefit his son.

When BHR was formed in 2013, Hunter Biden joined as an unpaid director.
BHR was funded by the Bank of China, a state-owned entity, as well as other Chinese government financial firms.
In October 2017, after his father left office, Hunter Biden became a shareholder in BHR, according to regulatory filings in China that the Journal found.
A statement from Hunter Biden's lawyer last year to the newspapers said that he 'has not received any return on his investment' in BHR.
