Hunter Biden has MILLIONS worth of legal debt, report claims

Hunter Biden‘s ongoing legal troubles have brought on mounting expenses – with the first son taking on millions in debt and his allies considering a legal defense fund to support him. 

Biden, who faces a long-running federal tax probe, continues to face daily revelations related to his infamous laptop, including evidence of multiple sexual relationships with employees that could involve additional legal exposure.

Newly empowered House Republicans are gearing up multiple investigations of Biden family members and their business practices, with new Oversight Chair James Comer vowing to look into Hunter’s pricey art sales, under a process created by White House lawyers that the White House says was meant to avoid potential conflicts. 

Preparing for the litany of questions is certain to require a team of legal advisors.

He already has a stable of attorneys, amid signs in recent months that Hunter wants to take on a more aggressive posture facing the ramped-up GOP criticism while his father prepares to launch an intended run for reelection in 2024.

New York lawyer Chris Clark, a partner at Latham & Watkins who represents Hunter in a grand jury probe of his taxes, declined to comment.

Another top lawyer, longtime D.C. attorney Abbe Lowell, now of Winston & Strawn, didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

According to the Washington Post, Hunter Biden’s debt has now reached ‘well into the millions of dollars.’

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has vowed to probe Hunter Biden’s art sales, and has repeatedly accused the Biden family of influence peddling, a charge the White House denies

Former President Bill Clinton relied on a legal defense fund in the 1990s, when the Whitewater and Paula Jones inquiries stretched on for years. Trustees who oversaw the fund provided reports on its size – it had grown to $4.5million by February 1999.

Clinton’s legal bills had reached $9million by that point, as he battled the independent counsel, and fended off an impeachment. Notably, the fund capped donations at $10,000 and disclosed donors.

Some of the bigger names who contributed included author Stephen King, singer Tony Bennet, and Robert Johnson of Black Entertainment Television. 

Lawmakers who set up legal defense funds face ethics rules on their structure, although Hunter Biden is a private citizen.  

On the tax matter, Hunter Biden has already reportedly paid the IRS $1million in back taxes, and has not been charged with a crime. In an unusual arrangement, entertainment lawyer Kevin Morris lent Biden the money. 

The New York Times reported he paid the tax bill in March 2022, but the probe continued. He also engaged in a paternity suit and legal fight over child support, and could face a potential charge over paperwork he filed for a handgun purchase where he asserted he didn’t use illegal drugs.

Lunden Roberts, who filed the paternity suit in 2019, fought to secure a DNA test, and in her last filing sought to change her four-year-old daughter’s last name to ‘Biden.’ 

Despite ditching a career as an international dealmaker who explored ventures from China to Ukraine, Hunter Biden is not without income.

His latest art show at the Georges Bergès gallery featured abstract works priced for as much as $225,000. Comer has written to the gallery owner for details on the sales, and wants to identify buyers, amid concerns people might overpay for art work in an effort to secure influence. 

Comer called the prices ‘exorbitant’ for a ‘novice artist’ in a letter to the dealer.
