Hunter Biden Can’t Afford His Legal Fees so Friends Are Setting up a Defense Fund

Gone are the days of $10,000-a-night hotel suites and the endless parade of paid female companions for Hunter Biden.

The most successful artist in the Biden family is now finding it difficult to afford his ongoing legal expenses. Whether it’s the impending tax evasion case, the illegal gun charge, or the various child support battles he’s fighting, being Hunter Biden is getting expensive. Apparently too much money went to “the big guy” and not enough was put aside to defend Hunter Biden in court.

Luckily, Hunter’s got a lot of friends in high places and they want to help with his legal fees. According to the Washington Post, which does its best to whitewash Hunter’s corruption, drug use, and abuse of women, allies are considering setting up a legal defense fund:

Hunter Biden’s allies have held initial discussions about creating a legal-defense fund to pay for a growing team of attorneys that is helping him confront both a years-long federal tax investigation and a host of new congressional inquiries, according to people familiar with the matter.

The effort has been triggered by Hunter Biden’s struggles to pay his mounting legal bills amid increasingly stretched resources and his pursuit of a new, aggressive legal strategy, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive subject.

A constellation of lawyers have worked for Biden over the years, and he continues to add new ones as he prepares to confront the investigations that House Republicans are starting to pursue.

It’s unclear exactly how much the president’s son owes in legal fees, in part because some of the bills were expected to be discounted or treated as pro bono work. But three people familiar with his situation estimate his current legal debt at well into the millions of dollars, and the figure is likely to grow as he faces additional congressional investigations.

Hunter’s legal debt is somewhere in the millions of dollars now and is only expected to grow. With so much ongoing scrutiny it seems that the Biden family hasn’t been bringing in as much foreign money as it was before Joe took the White House. As a result, Hunter Biden’s basically out of a job.

With Republicans in charge of Congress, and ready to issue subpoenas to get answers, Hunter Biden’s problems are expanding:

While gearing up for the congressional probes, Hunter Biden and his legal team have been seeking closure from the federal investigation into his taxes and gun purchase. Hunter Biden has paid the IRS more than $1 million in back taxes.

The case remains open for now, and The Washington Post reported in October that federal agents believed they had gathered enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and a false statement related to the gun purchase.

Beyond that, Hunter Biden since 2019 has been represented in Arkansas by family law attorney Brent M. Langdon, first to deny paternity over whether a child was his and later to determine the terms of child-support payments.

In recent weeks, Langdon has fought efforts by the mother to have her 4-year-old daughter use Biden’s last name.

Last September, Langdon filed a motion to reduce the child support paid by Hunter Biden, suggesting his economic condition had worsened and citing “a substantial material change in [Biden’s] financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income.”

The guy’s a loser by just about every applied standard. He’s fighting multiple women trying to demand legitimate claims of child support against him and he basically has no reportable income paper trail due to his prior life as the Biden foreign money vacuum.

His art scam, trying to sell his work for $500,000 a piece, was also a bust and filled with conflicts of interest over just who would be paying the President’s son ridiculous sums of money for amateur blow paintings. The art gallery scam remains a prime target of House investigations:

The Post revealed Hunter Biden’s shady connections to Ukraine and China in a series of reports in October 2020.

While the first son is currently trying a career as an artist, reportedly selling one painting for $500,000, other pieces of his artwork have not fetched nearly as much, the report said.

At the same time, some potential buyers have reneged on their purchases because of the congressional investigations and other potential blowback.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter last week to the Soho gallery owner who exhibited Hunter Biden’s paintings, seeking information about who purchased the art as part of his investigation into alleged influence peddling.

Just who are these Hunter Biden “allies” that want to help him so badly they’re willing to organize a bake sale to pay his lawyers? It’s clear that anything which sticks to Hunter will also tarnish Joe Biden, a point which makes this legal defense fund all the more questionable.

Poor Hunter has been reduced to essentially running a GoFundMe until he can get his foreign money flowing once again when Dad gives him the “all clear”.
