Yes, as did mine (allegedly.) See <https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/14/hunter-bi...>

It seems that in both cases the accused was acquitted or the investigation against them was closed. That's hardly a reasonable indicator of innocence though, as just like you said above, powerful people can often make up excuses to get away with crimes and corruption scot-free. You might be entirely right that one example really happened and the other didn't.
