Hunter Biden begged DNC to pay his legal fees for tax, gun cases

WASHINGTON — Then-first son Hunter Biden begged the Democratic National Committee to foot his mounting legal bills for the federal tax and gun charges he faced last year, according to an explosive new tell-all.
The DNC was paying the legal fees for dad Joe Biden, who was still president at the time, over a separate federal probe into whether the commander in chief hoarded classified documents — but scoffed at also covering Hunter’s extra legal costs, says the book “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America.”
By June 2024, Hunter’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris had already paid off more than $2 million in tax delinquency related to one of then-first son’s criminal cases and had been shelling out even more for his related legal bills.
Those bills included ongoing alimony payments to Hunter’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, and child-support checks to Lunden Roberts, the mother of his love-child Navy Joan, as set out in a June 2023 settlement.
Hunter’s legal tab as the presidential contest ramped up in January 2024 stood at around $5 million, Morris testified to House Republican investigators.
Morris’ daughter later accused the troubled first son of “taking advantage” of her father’s largesse.
Last month, the law firm that represented Hunter also sued him for reneging on more than $50,000 in legal fees.
Hunter was convicted of three felony gun charges June 11, 2024, and pleaded guilty to multiple tax felonies for evading $1.4 million in payments to the IRS in September.
His father months later pardoned him of all those charges as well as any related to potential crimes he may have committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024.
“The only thing I care about is that my son is not convicted,” Biden told a close friend before Hunter’s first conviction, according to journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf in their forthcoming book, which was excerpted Thursday in the Wall Street Journal.
The president at one point considered forming a legal defense fund for his son to push back on the federal probe as well as the parallel congressional investigation into Hunter’s foreign influence peddling that could potentially implicate him.
“2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” is being published by Penguin Press on July 8.
Reps for the DNC and Hunter’s former lawyer, Abbe Lowell, did not respond to Post requests for comment.

It’s really unbecoming to mouth off against the Trumps in that manner.

No, that would be the Bidens. Trump has actually lost money as president. (And he made the vast majority of his money -- if not all of it -- in the private sector.)

Yeah lost a ton of money. Got it. Id suggest his memecoin all by its lonesome shelves that comment. Expand that to his family -- I think your comment is well into fantasy land.

It would be novel for you to actually respond the issue. But suprisingly, (ha ha) you dont.
