Hunter Biden’s Lawyers Accidentally Reveal He’s Depending On Joe For Money

Hunter Biden is facing financial ruin as his once-lucrative art career has all but collapsed, coinciding with his father’s exit from the White House. The former President’s son now claims he can’t even afford to continue his own lawsuits against those who exposed his notorious laptop.

And his legal team just admitted he was using his father for money and influence.

Hunter’s Financial Collapse

The son of former President Joe Biden is experiencing financial devastation that appears directly connected to his father’s exit from political power. According to court documents filed this week, Hunter Biden is seeking to end his lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump administration aide who published emails from Biden’s abandoned laptop, because he simply can’t afford to continue the legal battle.

Once flush with cash from his high-priced artwork that critics claimed was selling based on White House connections rather than artistic merit, Hunter Biden’s income stream has dried up dramatically. According to his attorneys, Hunter now faces “significant debt in the millions of dollars range” and has seen his income plummet since late 2023, coinciding with the end of his father’s presidency.

Art Sales Collapse When Power Disappears

The timing of Hunter Biden’s financial troubles has raised eyebrows among conservative critics who long argued his art career was nothing more than a thinly veiled influence-peddling operation. Hunter previously sold 27 pieces of artwork for an average price of $54,500 each, but court documents reveal he’s sold just one piece recently for $36,000 – a remarkable drop that coincides with his father no longer being president.

“It’s truly unfortunate timing for Hunter Biden that his artistic inspiration dried up at the exact moment that his father ceased to be President,” Charles C.W. Cooke said.

Hunter Biden himself admitted in court filings that his expectations for continued success have been dashed. “Given the positive feedback and reviews of my artwork and memoir, I was expecting to obtain paid speaking engagements and paid appearances, but that has not happened,” Biden said in statements to the court.

His memoir sales have similarly collapsed, dropping from over 3,100 copies to about 1,100 in a six-month period.

Ouch.

Legal and Housing Woes Mount

Adding to Hunter Biden’s financial troubles, his rental home in the Pacific Palisades became uninhabitable following a wildfire. “I am having difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live,” Biden admitted in court documents. The housing crisis comes as Biden faces mounting legal bills following multiple criminal cases, including his conviction on federal gun charges and guilty plea in a federal tax case last year.

“Selling influence and access to Joe Biden was the Biden family business model. The scam was simple. Hunter promised Joe’s power, Joe Biden showed up, and millions of dollars went into the Bidens’ pockets. The grift is over,” Rep. James Comer said.

President Joe Biden pardoned his son in December before sentencing in the gun case could occur, but the pardon did nothing to solve Hunter’s financial problems. And now we know that Hunter was, in fact, financially dependent on his father being the Vice President…and later, the President.
