😔Ashley Biden Files For Divorce From Husband After 13 Years..#@

Ashley Biden, the daughter of former President Joe Biden, filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years, Dr. Howard Krein, according to court documents submitted Monday in Philadelphia.

The 44-year-old submitted the filing in Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas, though the specific reasons for the separation were not disclosed. Divorce records in the jurisdiction remain private under state law.

Biden and Krein married in Greenville, Delaware, in June 2012 after being introduced by her late brother, Beau Biden. During a 2020 Democratic National Convention speech, Ashley recalled her father’s involvement in the wedding preparations.

On the day the filing was submitted, Biden posted to Instagram with a photograph of herself in a park, accompanied by Beyoncé’s song “Freedom.” The post referenced personal change: “New life, new beginnings, means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before.”

During her 2020 convention address, Ashley described her father’s hands-on role in wedding planning. “He was riding around in his John Deere 4-wheeler, fixing the place settings, arranging the plants, and he was very emotional,” she told the audience.

Separately, former President Biden has faced scrutiny over his use of an autopen device for official documents. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer raised concerns that the device’s frequent use could affect the validity of pardons and executive orders from Biden’s final months in office.

Legal experts, including former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, questioned whether autopen signatures satisfy constitutional requirements for official acts. Dershowitz noted that the Constitution specifies bills must be “signed” by the president, raising questions about whether the method meets that standard.

Biden told The New York Times that he personally approved every pardon issued, though aides confirmed he did not individually authorize each name in categorical pardons.
