President Joe Biden's family has begun returning to headlines recently after a House Oversight Committee memo alleged that Hunter Biden and at least two other relatives received just over $1 million from a Chinese company through indirect payments.
It is the latest in a chronicle of stories surrounding the president's family, largely associated (as it is again) here with son Hunter and his overseas business dealings.
As the family faced renewed scrutiny, claims on social media have appeared alleging even stranger goings-on behind the scenes.

President Joe Biden's family has begun returning to headlines recently after a House Oversight Committee memo alleged that Hunter Biden and at least two other relatives received just over $1 million from a Chinese company through indirect payments.
It is the latest in a chronicle of stories surrounding the president's family, largely associated (as it is again) here with son Hunter and his overseas business dealings.
As the family faced renewed scrutiny, claims on social media have appeared alleging even stranger goings-on behind the scenes.
The Claim
Multiple social media posts, published between March 4 to 9, 2023, included a video that claimed to show Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, alleging that the president has a twin brother.
The person in the video said: "My grandfather Joe Biden does have a twin and that twin is currently pretending to be Joe Biden in the White House.
"So unfortunately, my grandfather Joe Biden passed away about four years ago but, you know, he had built up this really long political career and my family still wanted to have a bit of power in the U.S. government so we just replaced Joe with his twin brother, Beau."
The Facts
The claim that Joe Biden has a twin has fit into the conversation around the Biden family and their alleged profiting from Hunter Biden's relationship with overseas businesses.
The president has continued to deny knowledge of his son's business dealings, which has led some to suggest, in jest, that he has a twin acting in his place.
The video which was shared on Truth Social this week plays more directly to this claim, with "Ashley Biden" allegedly saying that the president has a twin brother who is working in the White House.
However, not only is there no evidence for this outlandish claim, but the person in the video is not Ashley Biden. For a start, Ashley Biden is the president's daughter, not his granddaughter.
The same video was shared in 2022, that time also inaccurately attached to Naomi Biden, who is one of the president's grandchildren.
An earlier debunk by PolitiFact found that the video came from a TikTok account, by the name of Kass Theaz, clearly labeled "SATIRE" (although the video no longer appears to be online).

I don't know about all this but has anyone noticed that on some photos JoeBidet's lower earlobe is more attached to his face/jawline that in others? And if you look at some little older photo of this jerk he looks and sounds very different..almost unrecognizable. Just sayin'. :(

Short version: no.
They say this was a satirical TikTok video from 2 years ago.
This is a super clock bait non story.

No, but he does have a body double who stands in for him when he is indisposed.
Stories like this are why I trust no news source anymore.

So Creepy Feely Joe could do naughty things to the sweet young girls and claim it was his 'evil twin'? I'd buy that claim coming from such a skeezer.

I was just discussing with my son that the Creepy Joe from 10 or so years ago looks nothing like the scrawny puke that goes by that name now, there is no way you can imagine that age would make that much of a change. His whole way of speaking is even different. I didn't like the old Joe either.

Does Biden have a twin? No. The only twin Biden has is Tom Shillue from Gutfeld!... who is more like Biden than Biden himself.

If you play 'Strawberry Fields' backwards at 33RPM you can clearly hear John say 'I buried the Big Guy!' It's settled science. I'm just sayin' s/o
It's more wag the dog. These guys are clueless and need to use anything they can to shift the focus away from their ineptitude and corruption. Biden has Elvis's love child nextup!

Well a conspiracy theory from 2 yrs ago. Biden has a stand in. I've wondered. On the days he seems to be conscious no stand-in. When he is not particularly salient or awake the stand-in is used. Just a theory.
