A new book has dropped another stunning tidbit in the Hunter Biden saga.
According to an excerpt from the new book by reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf, “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” things were difficult for Hunter in June of last year.
With Hunter’s paintings as his main source of income, the family was growing concerned about how he could continue to afford pricey Washington lawyers like Abbe Lowell. At one point, the family asked senior White House aides to consider whether Biden could help his son raise money for legal bills. The question became more urgent amid concerns that Lowell might drop Hunter as a client if bills weren’t paid.
Hunter found out the Democratic National Committee was paying President Biden’s legal fees arising from an investigation into his handling of classified documents, taken over by a special counsel, Robert Hur. Hunter asked why the DNC could not pay his too. Lawyers ultimately decided the president should not be involved in fundraising for Hunter, and the DNC could not justify picking up Hunter’s tab.
Because, of course, he did. How crazy and entitled is that?
First, I don’t think the DNC should have been paying Joe Biden’s bills for what were his alleged personal actions. Democrats should have been in an uproar just over that. But at least you might argue he was a Democrat politician and/or occupying the Oval Office. Why the heck would they pay for Hunter?
As we’ve reported, the DNC has been in a lot of turmoil with questions about money, the fight with David Hogg, and the American Federation of Teachers head, Randi Weingarten, leaving.
