Hunter Biden accused of ‘playing games’ in child support case

Hunter Biden is dragging his feet and “playing games with discovery” in a child support case — a “hallmark Biden litigation tactic,” the mother of his out-of-wedlock daughter claims in new court papers.
President Biden’s 53-year-old son has been trying to lower his $20,000 a month child support payments to former stripper Lunden Roberts — with whom he shares 4-year-old daughter Navy Joan Roberts — a move Roberts has vowed to fight.
“Mr. Biden does not want to disclose his income and assets, says that he is somewhat financially destitute, while he lives on a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, has Secret Service protection, and enjoys his time abroad (which he has also lied about in discovery),” Roberts’ lawyer Clinton Lancaster wrote in court papers Friday.
Lawyers on both sides have filed a slew of court arguing over whether a deposition by Biden’s lawyers of ex-Trump While House aide Garrett Ziegler should go forward Monday.
Roberts, 32, wants to call Ziegler — the 27-year-old founder of nonprofit Marco Polo, which published a 644-page analysis of the contents of Hunter’s infamous laptop — as an expert witness at the July trial in the Arkansas child support case.
But Lancaster claims since Biden is still refusing to turn over all the discovery in the case, Ziegler won’t have all the information he needs for his grilling by three Biden lawyers.
Roberts doesn’t want to play games and says it “only hurts the child in this case as Mr. Biden seeks to shirk his daughter’s needs and support,” Lancaster wrote.
Biden’s lawyers, meanwhile, have previously said Ziegler shouldn’t be allowed to testify as an expert witness, attacking his credibility — saying he lacks the credentials and actual expertise — and charging that he’s carrying out a “war on” Biden.
