Hunter Biden’s Legal Retreat: Mounting Debt and a Life in Turmoil

[Social Media]

 

Hunter Biden, facing millions in debt, has filed to drop his lawsuit against former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler, citing financial hardship and personal setbacks. His attorneys claim that recent fires in the Pacific Palisades, which destroyed his $15,800-per-month Malibu rental, have worsened his already dire financial situation. A source close to the case also revealed that Biden plans to leave California and relocate back to the East Coast.  

 

 

The lawsuit, filed in September 2023, accused Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo of hacking Biden’s iCloud and publishing a damning 644-page report based on data from his abandoned laptop. However, Biden’s attorneys now state that he no longer has the resources to continue litigation. In a legal filing submitted Wednesday, his lawyers detailed a significant decline in his income over the past 18 months, attributing it to dwindling book and art sales—his primary sources of revenue.  

 

“Plaintiff has suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range,” the filing states, adding that his financial troubles have been exacerbated by the Pacific Palisades fire. His legal team further argued that his focus must now shift to securing housing for himself, his wife Melissa Cohen Biden, and their four-year-old son, Beau Jr., rather than pursuing legal battles.  

 

Despite his request to drop the case, Ziegler remains defiant. Speaking to *DailyMail.com*, the conservative activist made it clear that he has no intention of letting Biden walk away so easily. “Hunter wants to cry uncle. We are opposing that,” Ziegler said. “We want our attorneys' fees to be paid, for Hunter to cease lying about us and me, and just generally to shut the f**k up.”

 

Biden’s legal woes extend beyond this lawsuit. He had previously borrowed at least $7 million from Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris to settle tax debts and cover legal expenses. However, reports suggest that this financial lifeline ran dry last year, leaving Biden scrambling as he faces criminal charges related to gun and tax crimes.  

 

Now, the decision on whether Biden can drop the case rests with Judge Hernán Vera. If the court rules in his favor, it could mark the end of this particular legal battle—but with mounting financial struggles and ongoing legal troubles, Hunter Biden’s problems are far from over.

A broke convicted felon with a failed defamation case? Hunter, you are halfway to the American dream.

Declare bankruptcy to avoid any responsibility, commit a few more crimes like sexual assault and fraud, and then run for POTUS.

Claim political interference, a witch hunt, and lawfare to escape accountability—a winning playbook!

Now that he can no longer curry favor with the VP or the President, nobody wants what he's selling.

 

Hunter Biden revealed in a court filing that he sold 27 pieces of art for an average of $54,481 each during the early years of his father’s presidency.

 

But since December 2023, Biden says he has only sold one piece—for $36,000—a dramatic decline that raises serious questions.

 

My heart goes out to him having to join the mass exodus from California by people who can no longer afford to live there.

I was under the impression Hunter received a pardon from his father for anything deemed criminal.

 

If he is broke, at least it indicates he was not getting bribes from anyone.

 

E Jean Carroll was more successful with a defamation suit, although I doubt a cent has been paid in damages.

Yes he did. But this article is about Hunter sueing someone else. Not him being convicted for his multitude of crimes/debuchery.

Not really. Just means he spent it all. Crack cocaine, guns, prostitutes etc. can get quite expensive and crackheads aren't best known for their financial planning/responsibility.

 

I'm sure Joe will arrange for one of his unusually wealthy ex-employees to slip him some money.

I think bribes would be difficult to declare as legal income, and be used to pay off his debts.

Because he declares himself insolvent, doesn't mean he hasn't a hidden piggy bank

Only federal offenses.  I wonder if he paid his California state taxes?  Or broke any state firearm laws?  Or any state drug laws?

It's just a very simple way of telling which posters have credibility, and who are lying scrotes. Some of the most dishonest lefties still to this day are forced to deny the existence of the laptop as it shreds all the democrat narratives concerning paedophilia, corruption, treason, equality under the law, the existence of the deep state etc etc.

 

Driving at 200mph and smoking crack is legal? Yes, for some people.

Sex trafficking minors is legal? Again, yes, for some.

Selling classified documents ....bored to go on. But some people are above all laws and criticism.

Perhaps you would like to enlighten us with what you think the laptop contained.

 

IME most of the lying scrotes seem to come from the right-hand side of politics.

Read the OP. Garrett uploaded the laptop that you and others so desperately tried to quash. It's contents are openly available and there is a menu detailing the nature of the hundreds of crimes.

Go on, educate yourself after 5 years of falsely claiming it was a hoax by Rudy and Russians😅

Unpaid taxes or interest to lawyer who lent him money to resolve IRS issues will take forever to solve. Pardons are for crimes. Taxes still exist.

Indeed. I have been on the factual side of all contentious issues over the last decade, and been punished and banished for having done so. Thankfully the sheriff and his sidekicks are AWOL these days and fact rather than lazy democrat propaganda is back. FTR i do have all the receipts saved, I had planned to publish it all online to show the evils of democrat activist/ narrative swallowers propaganda, brainwashing and psychopathy, but Im too busy enjoying retirement to bother. Plus, with the evil trio absent there's not much point any longer.

Again, I was on the factual side of every single hoax. All of them, and boy were there lots of them.

Like the hoax that the 2020 election has been rigged by massive voter fraud and that Trump actually won it? 

I have zero doubt before Trump 2.0 term ends we will have concrete and undeniable proof of exactly that. Just no way some senile corrupt fiddler hiding in his basement won fairly. You know the laptop censorship was cheating by intentionally misinforming voters and yes, they got caught. It has already been proven enough% of voters would not have voted Biden had they known the corruption/treason was real and not "Russian disinformation" as you so famously and falsely claimed. Cheating is bad, it makes a result illegitimate.

I don't have to disprove something which wasn't proven to happen! 😋

 

BTW, not that huge. 3 million less voters in 2024 compared to 2020. The Dems lost 6 million votes. From these 6 million, Trump got 3 million more votes, and 3 million did not vote this time.

Biden got approx 81 million votes. Kamala got approx 67.

So it's 6 not 14. I was wrong about that. Point still stands. 

 

If you don't consider millions of votes huge I can't help you anymore. Go back to believing Biden is mentally great and Trump is going to jail. 

Blah blah..

 

3 million less voters between the 2020 (158) and the 2024 (155) elections is not huge. It's less than 2% of the total number of voters

 

The Dems lost 6 million votes, Trump took 3 millions votes, and 3 million did not vote.

 

You have no point....😆

No point to people like you. Someone with a track record of being horribly off and wrong on the direction politics takes.  Someone so entrenched in your worldview. Can't blame you as your an older gentleman who grewn up in a much different world than we live in now. 

 

Old dog new tricks sort of thing. 

 

You talk like its a nothing burger which is scary in itself. I'll take my record over yours all day.
