Workin’ at the car wash!
Hunter Biden could pay off his millions of dollars in loans to so-called “sugar brother” Kevin Morris by lathering up the entertainment lawyer’s vehicles, Morris has suggested to Congress.
Morris, 60, claimed that he is fuzzy on many details about his financial relationship with President Biden’s son, including the precise amount the lawyer is owed, but acknowledged that the first son’s at least $5 million debt to him begins to come due in 2025.
“You know, as any creditor, as any note holder, if the provisions of default are — you know, if they’re in default under the note, yeah, the holder has an option to enforce it,” Morris noted at his House impeachment inquiry testimony last week.
“You could do any number of things,” Morris — who has paid for a documentary film crew to follow the first son for a possible future film — said of his role as a creditor.
“They can come over and wash your car for the rest of their life,” he added of his debtor, Hunter.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) shot back, “Or you can forgive [the loan].”
Morris replied, “Right.”
The wealthy Hollywood lawyer, who earned a fortune repping the creators of TV’s “South Park,” is on the hot seat over red flags involving Hunter’s income, which is the focus of an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
Republicans allege that Hunter and first brother James Biden corruptly sold access to then-Vice President Joe Biden during foreign business deals in countries such as China and Ukraine, raking in millions of dollars in the process.
Morris enters the picture because he gave Hunter more than $2 million to settle the first son’s tax debt on some of that unpaid income.
The lawyer testified that he himself did not break any federal campaign finance laws by bankrolling Hunter’s tax debt and living expenses.
Morris claimed to the congressional investigators that he was thinking about the first impeachment of President Donald Trump when he wrote in an early 2020 email that he’d like to quickly resolve Hunter’s tax debt for political reasons — even though Trump’s Senate trial had already ended.
The lawyer added he is “confident that Hunter will repay” the loans — although it is unclear how the president’s son would do so. Hunter faces criminal charges for tax fraud in Los Angeles and illegal gun possession in Delaware after walking away in July from a probation-only plea deal.
Morris acknowledged that it is “basically” true he loaned Hunter $4.9 million from 2020 to 2022, beginning about a month after he first met the president’s son at a late 2019 fundraiser for his father’s presidential campaign.
Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry believe the total amount that Hunter owes Morris could top $7 million.
Morris also is the top buyer of Hunter’s novice artworks — paying $875,000 for 11 paintings last year — and testified he has shelled out money to the first son’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, and Lunden Roberts, the former adult entertainer with whom Hunter shares a daughter, too.
The rich lawyer also confirmed that he had visited the White House three times and took over Hunter’s 10% stake in a Chinese state-backed investment fund, which was registered in 2013 shortly after Joe and Hunter Biden visited Beijing, where the then-veep met with the fund’s incoming CEO.
