Faint hope that Hunter Biden’s $4 million rental home was still standing after the California wildfires has been dashed, as pictures show it razed to the ground. The first son, 54, shared the Malibu pad with wife Melissa Cohen, renting it for $15,800 a month, according to DailyMail.com, which acquired pictures of the property totally flattened by the blaze that has claimed five lives in L.A. County. The photos end hope that Hunter Biden’s father had that the house may still be holding on. “It’s astounding what’s happening,” the outgoing president said at a press conference in Santa Monica on Thursday. “My son lives out here and his wife. They got a notification yesterday their home was probably burned to the ground. Today, it appears that maybe [it’s] still standing, but I’m not sure.” Four fires in the county have decimated over 2,000 buildings, according to the Los Angeles Times.
