Hunter Biden in massive trouble over this financial scandal
Biden is a troubled individual. He can’t seem to get his life in order.
And Hunter Biden is in massive trouble over this financial scandal.
Hunter Biden, the embattled son of former President Joe Biden, just dropped a bombshell in a marathon interview, admitting he’s drowning in debt that could hit a staggering $15 million. This confession paints a picture of a man who’s hit rock bottom.
In a raw, five-hour sit-down with podcaster Shawn Ryan, Hunter laid it all out. “Nobody’s riding to the rescue for Hunter Biden,” he said.
He pointed fingers at his family’s lack of deep pockets, noting how his father entered the White House with slim finances.
“My dad, you know, entered the presidency as the poorest man to ever take the office. And he left the presidency [as] the, you know, not poorest, I mean, he’s fine, but he has no, we have no generational wealth.”
Hunter dismissed wild conspiracy theories about hidden fortunes tied to his family. “I don’t have any, you know, despite what these guys say, like there’s no billions of dollars buried underneath my dad’s house,” he insisted.
The interview turned into a gripe session about the massive legal bills piling up from his various court battles.
Hunter has been locked in fights over everything from his infamous laptop to defamation claims, and those costs are eating him alive.
One key lawsuit Hunter mentioned involves Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump aide who runs the Marco Polo site.
That platform exposed a trove of damaging material from Hunter’s abandoned laptop, including evidence of drug abuse, prostitution payments, and shady financial dealings.
Back in March, Hunter tried to get a federal judge to toss out his 2023 suit against Ziegler. In the court filing, he revealed his art career has tanked, with only one painting sold for $36,000 since late 2023.
That single sale stands in sharp contrast to the windfall he enjoyed right after his dad’s 2020 victory. During Joe Biden’s early presidency, Hunter hauled in almost $1.5 million from his abstract artworks.
Hunter’s memoir, Beautiful Things, released in 2021, also saw its popularity nosedive.
He admitted in court papers that sales dropped from 3,200 copies in a six-month stretch in mid-2023 to a measly 1,100 in the next half-year.
This plummet in book sales mirrors the fading spotlight on Hunter’s personal story of addiction and redemption, which once captivated liberal media outlets but now gathers dust on shelves.
As Hunter transitions from lawyer and businessman to a self-described struggling author and artist, his financial woes highlight the pitfalls of living in the shadow of political power without a safety net.
He confessed outright to having no plan for digging out of this hole. “I have no idea” how to pay the money back, Hunter said, underscoring his desperation in the face of mounting debts.
For everyday Americans struggling with bills and inflation, Hunter’s tale might evoke little sympathy, especially given the family’s history of questionable overseas deals that have fueled endless investigations.
Yet, this interview peels back the curtain on the Biden clan’s supposed humility, challenging the narrative of them as relatable folks while exposing the chaos in Hunter’s life post-White House.
