LOS ANGELES, CA - If this doesn’t convince you that the Biden family’s financial success was based on having access to Sleepy Joe, nothing will.
According to the New York Post, young Hunter Biden, the crackhead and aspiring painter, is complaining that since daddy is no longer the president, his art business has pretty much dried up, and he is millions of dollars in debt.
In a legal filing in which he asked to drop a lawsuit filed against a former Trump White House aide, Biden said he is millions of dollars in debt, his “art business” has dried up, and he allegedly lost his house to the wildfires which consumed parts of Los Angeles County in January.
Biden complained that he has only been able to sell one piece of art since December 2023. When he had access to the presidency, Biden raked in nearly $1.5 million for the art, which has been compared to “hotel art.”
“In the two to three years prior to December 2023, I sold 27 pieces of art at an average price of $54,481.48, but since then, I have only sold one piece of art for $36,000,” Biden’s attorneys told a judge as they outlined his alleged financial maladies.
In asking to withdraw the suit, Biden said he was simply too broke to pursue it.
Hunter Biden’s literary career isn’t doing much better than his art sales. His lawyers said that sales of his 2021 book “Beautiful Things” plummeted from 3,200 copies over six months in mid-2023 to only 1,100 copies in the following six months.
Biden expressed shock that nobody is interested in his art work now that Daddy Joe is no longer president.
“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,” he said.
The younger Biden received a grant of clemency from his father during his administration's waning days, covering possible crimes dating back to 2014. This was before he started a questionable position on the board of Burisma Energy Holdings, a shady Ukrainian energy company.
Hunter Biden claims to be a “self-taught” painter, a hobby he took up while he was in recovery from drug addiction.
According to his lawyers, the wildfires that consumed the Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles County “exacerbated” his financial troubles, rendering the Malibu mansion he was renting “unlivable.”
“Like many others in that situation, I am having difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live,” Biden said in the motion.
“While I was aware that my financial position had significantly deteriorated over time, it was not until the past month that I realized I had to take drastic actions to alleviate this situation.”
According to a source, they told The Post that Biden allegedly had artworks in storage near the Pacific Palisades home of Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris that were destroyed in the wildfires.
Biden’s attorneys added, "[Hunter] has suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range.”
Biden filed the lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler, the former Trump aide who worked for Peter Navarro in his first administration, in 2023. He accused Ziegler of illegally accessing and circulating the contents of Hunter’s “laptop from hell” on his nonprofit website, Marco Polo.
Ziegler posted the information from the laptop after it was first exposed by The New York Post weeks before the 2020 election. The mainstream media and social media platforms worked together to suppress the laptop's contents, with some former intelligence officials claiming it was a “Russian operation.” That has since been debunked, and the laptop's authenticity has been confirmed.
The lawsuit alleged Ziegler and others breached computer fraud and data laws by accessing “tens of thousands of emails, thousands of photos, and dozens of videos and recordings” from the computer.
Biden abandoned the laptop at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2020.
However, Ziegler is having none of Biden attempting to dismiss the lawsuit. He told The Post in a statement that Biden’s cash pool was “drying up” now that his daddy wasn’t in the White House.
“Hunter wants to cry uncle. We are OPPOSING that. We want our attorney’s fees to be paid, for Hunter to cease lying about us and me, and just generally to shut the fuck up,” Ziegler’s statement said.
“This is an abuse of the legal system. It can’t stand. Our tiny nonprofit had to scrape together legal fees for nearly 2 years to deal with this Peter Pan-like manchild.”
Biden has also filed a separate lawsuit against the former owner of the Delaware computer shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, over the leaked laptop. In the Ziegler case filing, Biden said that he was looking at his pending suits on a “case-by-case basis to allocate my limited resources.”
