Call it pleading the thrift.
Hunter Biden claimed under oath earlier this year that he's so broke he doesn't even own a car or a cellphone, and said his family is too strapped for cash to help him pay off millions in unpaid legal bills.
The former first son painted a bleak picture of his own and of Biden family finances during a Feb. 9 deposition in his legal battle with powerhouse law firm Winston Taylor, which sued Biden in June 2025 for allegedly stiffing the firm out of $17 million accrued from representing Biden in federal criminal cases, congressional investigations, and defamation lawsuits Biden brought against his enemies.
"I don't have any assets. I don't own a car. I don't own a phone," Biden said in the deposition, according to a transcript released this week.
"I don't own anything of any value other than—and I don't know the value of it—my paintings which I painted myself," Biden testified. "So that's it. And I don't even have any other assets at all, stocks, bonds, anything like that, savings accounts."
