    Hunter Biden’s home includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms, an open floor plan and a chef’s kitchen.

The US Secret Service is paying over $30,000 a month - from taxpayer money - to rent a mansion in Malibu to protect Hunter Biden.

Hunter, who has been funding biological labs and weapons in Ukraine, is protected at a Spanish-style estate that has "gorgeous ocean views" and "resort-style living at its finest."

The mansion has 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, a gym, a wine tasting room and a guesthouse, in addition to a built-in barbecue space, pool and spa.

The mansion is located close to Hunter Biden's rented mansion for which he pays $20,000 a month. 

According to sources familiar with the matter that spoke to ABC News, the Secret Service chose this property since it is close to Biden's property.

The agency said: “Due to the need to maintain operational security, the US Secret Service does not comment on the means, methods, or resources used to conduct our protective operations.”

The use of taxpayer money to protect presidential families has been facing criticism for some while now: During Donald Trump's presidency, the Secret Service announced that it was running out money to protect the presidential family. In the first year of Trump's presidency, the Secret Service requested $60 million for such a task.

During Barack Obama's presidency, an Obama family trip in 2016 cost the US Secret Service some $2.7 million, according to Judicial Watch, which obtained documents about the matter. The Secret Service, furthermore, spent $2.5 million on hotels and $90,000 on rental cars.

On the Obama family trip to Hawaii in 2016, the US Secret Service spent $1.9 million, including $1.8 million on hotels. When the Obama family visited Honolulu in late 2016, the agency spent $1.9m, including $1.8m on hotels.

Federal tax probe into Hunter Biden gaining ground

The federal probe into US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, is advancing, with prosecutors obtaining intelligence from associates regarding his foreign income, including Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday in light of Hunter returning to the spotlight over certain activities and relations in Ukraine.

Moscow had claimed that Hunter Biden helped finance military research into dangerous pathogens at Biolabs in Ukraine, and that was proven to be true via emails from his infamous laptop.

According to The Journal, prosecutors are also closely inspecting Biden's relationship with a company that handled some of his finances, and it revealed that prosecutors from the US attorney's office in Delaware have been after information regarding money he had received several years ago from Burisma Holdings Ltd., in addition to how he used said funds.

People familiar with the matter, as cited by the WSJ, said prosecutors have had the payments from Burisma in their iron sights, saying those funds had flowed to Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC before landing in Biden's pockets between 2014 and 2019. It is noteworthy that Biden held a board seat at the table in Burisma, which gained him some $50,000 a month.

The state of Delaware is trying to see if the president's son had violated tax or other laws through his dealings and business endeavors in Ukraine, China, and Kazakhstan, among other places.

The newspaper also highlighted how Hunter Biden had used his family's name in business dealings when on the table with tycoons in Europe and China, who were seeking to better their credibility or even gain a foothold in the United States as means of establishing grounds for business in the country.

It was a win-win situation for all the parties involved, as they both benefited from the Biden family name, which enabled the businessmen to enhance their credibility and establish business ties in the US and aided Biden in maintaining his lavish lifestyle.
