Hunter Biden’s Ex-Lawyers Put a Lien on his $1.7 Million Lawsuit Victory, Just as ‘Impecunious’ Heir Takes Victory Lap, Unleashes Potty-Mouthed Tirade Against Trump

Hunter Biden's victory lap after securing a $1.7 million defamation judgment against former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne was short-lived.
Last week, a federal judge in California ordered Byrne to pay Biden for falsely accusing him of participating in an $800 million Iranian bribery scheme while his father was president. The younger Biden celebrated the decision, and accused Byrne of hiding in Dubai to evade depositions and hearings in the lawsuit.
"On Friday I was awarded $1.7M in punitive damages by a Reagan-appointed federal judge," wrote Biden—a former crack addict who once cheated on his wife with the widow of his dead brother, Beau—in a 500-word X rant against Byrne.
