Former First Son Hunter Biden’s name is back in the news again, mostly because the reporter who tried to claim that “Operation Midnight Hammer” was a failure is the same hack who misled voters about the “Laptop from Hell.”
But he’s also back in print because his lawyers are accusing him of doing something he’s done before: neglecting to pay what he owes. He infamously didn’t bother to pay $1.4 million in federal taxes for the period of 2016 to 2019 and executed an elaborate tax-evading scheme for which he was hit with nine charges. He pleaded guilty but was pardoned by daddy.
A California venture capitalist also claimed in 2024 after the pardon was issued that Hunter had skipped out on over $300,000 in rent at a Venice, CA abode he rented in 2019-2020.
Now that his father is thankfully no longer in residence at the White House, Hunter is no longer able to make money off his “art” or obtain lucrative positions on the boards of foreign companies. Perhaps that’s why he’s stiffing his former legal team:
Winston & Strawn LLP recently filed the lawsuit against its former client, according to the New York Post. The lawsuit states in part that the firm represented Biden “in several complex matters, including criminal trial in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.” In turn, they provided him with what was described as “extensive legal services in those matters which generated a substantial amount of fees...”
According to the law firm, he’s left them on the hook for at least a cool $50K:”
Although a portion of those fees have been paid, Mr. Biden presently owes [Winston & Strawn] substantially in excess of $50,000 in fees and interest that are due and payable,” the document reads, asserting that Biden has not paid the firm what he owes.
“While some of Mr. Biden’s bills were paid between March 2023 and October 2024, a substantial amount remains due and owing,” Winston & Strawn LLP asserts. “Mr. Biden never objected to any of W&S’s invoices for the legal services rendered to him."
The firm, which represented Biden in both the Delaware gun case and federal tax case, ultimately alleges that Biden has ignored its request for payment.
He’s apparently been enjoying the beach, however:

Is this story important in the context of current world affairs? No. The Bidens are mostly irrelevant at this point.
What is important to remember, however, is that this is the type of sleaze and corruption the Biden Family brought to the White House, and that it reminds us we can never let people like them in again.
We should be thrilled each and every day that Joe Biden is back home on the beach in Delaware and Kamala is wandering around somewhere in California.
