Hunter Biden’s legal defense has a problem: The patron paying the bills is running out of cash

Less than a month before the start of his first trial, Hunter Biden may be losing a key financial lifeline.

Kevin Morris, a Hollywood entertainment lawyer who has long supported the president’s son, has told associates that he has run out of resources to help fund Biden’s legal defense, according to a person close to Morris who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.

“The reason Kevin got involved financially in the first place was that he could see that no one was going to help Hunter,” said the person. “Now, four and a half years later, there’s still no help — and now Kevin is completely tapped out. So just when Hunter is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, he has no resources. It’s pretty dire.”

Reached for comment about this reporting, Morris confirmed the person’s account but declined to elaborate further. A spokesperson for Biden’s legal team also declined to comment.

I know articles from Politico are frow upon, but this isn't a Trump hit piece.

It's an article about Biden family karma

If the ballots “re-elect” The Tater, the problems of Kevin Morris will be blown away, as the morning dew is chased by the summer sun.

I have a hard time believing that Kevin is truly "tapped out."

What about his children's college funds? What about his retirement fund? I think that his wife might still have some jewelry that could be pawned.

I strongly urge that the Secret Service be sent over to his house to make sure that he isn't trying to hide resources that should, in all fairness, be devoted to Hunter's defence!

Tough break!

One of these trials is going to happen before the election and $850 an hour lawyers won’t do pro bono work for Hunter.

Kevin must be reading the polls and watching his connection to the Presidency slipping through his benefactor fingers.

Kevin may be financially tapped out, but he got what he wanted: tapping some $8,000,000. booty.

federal charges -> presidential pardon

According to the House Oversight Committee, the Biden family received over $20 million from foreign entities in 2014-2017, to include $6.5 million from Ukraine after the 2014 coup.

Hunter blew through that money quickly.

The two female authors seem to think Kevin and Hunter were just long in the tooth altar boy blood brothers.

“Morris and Biden met in 2019 during now-President Biden's campaign. both were raised in the mid-Atlantic in Roman Catholic families, and immediately developed a close bond.”

The Big Guy will pay for his legal defense. Or hunter can sell another piece of art.

How about the prick’s old man chipping in? God knows how much the old gonef has grifted over the years. Apparently he’s so selfish he won’t even part with any yuan to help his worthless son.

I thought Kevin morris purchased several Hunter Biden paintings.

He could sell the Hunter paintings and raise lots of cash

The Big Guy already spent money from Hunter.
