Hunter Biden’s Lawsuit Dropped Due to Financial Struggles
Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, has filed a motion to drop his lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler, the ex-White House aide who published the contents of his infamous laptop. The motion, filed in Los Angeles, cites financial issues as the reason behind this decision.
Biden’s lawsuit was initially filed in September 2023, but according to court documents obtained by Fox News, he no longer has the resources to continue litigating the matter. The documents reveal that Biden has faced significant financial and personal challenges in the new year, including being a victim of wildfires in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles.
The court filing states that Biden has experienced a significant downturn in his income and is burdened with debts in the millions of dollars range. Additionally, the house he rented in Los Angeles has become “unlivable” due to the wildfires, making it difficult for him to find a new home and job.
Biden’s focus has shifted towards dealing with the aftermath of the wildfires, relocating, and supporting his family’s living expenses, rather than continuing with the lawsuit.
Decline in Income and Art Sales
In another document filed on the same day, Biden explained that his income has decreased significantly. He provided details about his earnings from his artwork, stating that in the two to three years leading up to December 2023, he sold 27 pieces of art at an average price of $54,481.48. However, since then, he has only sold one piece for $36,000.
Based on these figures, Biden could have earned nearly $1.5 million from selling his artwork. He also mentioned his book sales, revealing that in the six months prior to September 30, 2023, 3,161 copies were sold. However, in the six months following that period, only approximately 1,100 books were sold.
Biden had expected to secure paid speaking engagements and appearances following the success of his book. However, these opportunities have not materialized, further impacting his revenue and his ability to pay off his significant debt, which has been reported to be several million dollars.
Conclusion
Hunter Biden’s legal team has filed a motion to drop his lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler, citing financial difficulties. The court documents highlight the financial challenges Biden has faced, including a decline in income and the loss of his rented home due to wildfires. These circumstances have made it difficult for Biden to continue with the lawsuit and have also affected his ability to pay off his debts.
