Allies of Hunter Biden think the president’s son may need a legal defense fund to raise money for his attorneys as he faces new Republican investigations on top of existing legal troubles.

The need for fundraising comes as Hunter Biden seeks a more aggressive legal strategy but has limited resources to pursue it, anonymous sources familiar with the matter told the Washington Post.

Legal defense funds are often set up in high-profile cases so the public can donate money to pay attorneys’ fees. Transparency is often lacking in the funds’ financial disclosures, and they are regulated by few federal rules, the Post reported.

Hunter Biden’s current legal debt is thought to stretch well into the millions of dollars, according to three people familiar with his situation. In a September court filing in a paternity case, his lawyer called for child support payments to be reduced due to “a substantial material change in [Biden’s] financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income,” the Post reported.

What the hell does this nitwit do with the millions he collects from foreign governments, oligarchs and other slimeballs, anyway? Besides the cocaine and Porsches, I mean.

Biden needs 'firewall' between him and Hunter Biden's legal defense, former White House ethics chief says
Tuesday saw reports of Biden's allies throwing around the idea of a legal defense fund as the first son racks up estimated millions in debt

By Houston Keene | Fox News

    FIRST ON FOX: President Biden needs to set up a "firewall" between him and first son Hunter Biden's legal woes as his allies weigh a legal defense fund for the younger Biden, law professor and former President George W. Bush's chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter told Fox News Digital.

Painter said that Hunter Biden is "a private citizen, so he's going to disclose whatever he has to disclose," but the first son is "probably going to get away with not disclosing any of it."

"Just like with these paintings he's selling and he should be disclosing who's buying the artwork, but he's not," Painter said. "And it will probably follow the same approach to the legal defense fund."

I'd call him a narcissist but that would be an insult to narcissists.

Don't care who your Daddy is Hunter, you're just not that important.

Poor Hunter. He knows he was the stupider and less-loved of the Biden sons, and he just can't get past it.
