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

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."
