Hunter Biden reached a deal with an Arkansas woman who was seeking financial support for their child.
Biden was supposed to travel to the state this week for a deposition in the paternity case but has repeatedly sought to delay the case, most recently citing travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus and the looming due date of his pregnant wife.
"Late last night, after the court entered the order, we reached a global, final settlement of all issues," a lawyer for Lunden Alexis Roberts wrote in an email late Tuesday to the judge.
Earlier Tuesday, the judge denied Biden’s request to delay the case, saying none of the reasons he gave were sufficient.
The former vice president’s son agreed to take a paternity test in October after Roberts claimed he fathered her 18-month-old child. The child, whose name has not been disclosed, was born in August 2018.
The settlement has not yet been submitted to the court for approval, but it likely means Biden will avoid releasing financial documents that could shed light on his business dealings abroad while his father was vice president.
