First son Hunter Biden was questioned under oath in his Arkansas child support case Friday — with the mother of his out-of-wedlock daughter showing up to watch her lawyers grill the political scion about his finances.
President Biden’s 53-year-old son was deposed by attorneys for Lunden Roberts as part of his bid to lower his $20,000 monthly child support payments for their daughter Navy Joan Roberts, 4.
Hunter arrived at the Little Rock office building for the deposition in a five-car motorcade flanked by members of the Secret Service. Roberts arrived minutes later, according to the Daily Mail.
The deposition began at 9 a.m. local time and was over by 11 a.m.
The 32-year-old former stripper made the “highly unusual” move to attend the questioning session, a source told the outlet, where her lawyers were expected to probe Hunter — a former high-paid lobbyist — about his earnings from business deals abroad.
“Attending Hunter’s deposition would have been a strategic choice and perhaps a head game,” the source was quoted as saying. “And why not? It’s harder for most people to be untruthful about a person in their presence.”
Hunter — who was being deposed for the first time in the case — would also be asked to back up claims that he can no longer afford the current child support payments.
Roberts’ team — who’ve accused Hunter of “living lavishly” — has claimed that he refused to turn over proof of his finances in the case and asked a judge to throw him behind bars for up to six months, claiming he should be held in contempt of court for the alleged deception.
