Hunter Biden, the artist and son of President Joe Biden, has recently embarked on a new professional journey, ostensibly to address the mounting legal expenses he has accumulated over the years.
In a conversation released on Tuesday, Hunter disclosed his current role as the director of development for BASTA Inc., an organization based in Los Angeles dedicated to eviction defense. The financial burden on Hunter is reportedly substantial, with legal fees running into millions.
As reported by the Daily Caller, Bryan Sullivan, who co-founded BASTA Inc. and serves as its chief financial officer, has previously represented Hunter in several unsuccessful defamation cases.
In his interview with host Andrew Callaghan, Hunter expressed a desire to contribute meaningfully to society, stating, "Theres such an opportunity to be of service right now and not in some kind of melodramatic, you know, way A lot of people that are getting the shit beat out of them out there right here in LA and, theres an enormous opportunity for just normal people to do kind of heroic things, whether its protecting somebody thats about to get kidnapped off a street."
Hunter also asserted that BASTA Inc. is unique in Southern California for its representation of illegal migrants, although it is known that several organizations in the area provide legal assistance to migrants facing labor violations or deportation.
In 2024, Hunter reportedly sought financial assistance from the Democratic National Committee to cover his legal expenses related to federal tax and gun charges. Kevin Morris, a long-standing ally and financial supporter of Hunter, informed House Republicans in January 2024 that Hunter's legal costs amounted to approximately $5 million.
As Hunter's initial trial approached in June 2024, Morris faced financial constraints, as noted by Politico. A source revealed, "The reason Kevin got involved financially in the first place was that he could see that no one was going to help Hunter. Now, four and a half years later, theres 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. Its pretty dire."
Despite assurances from President Joe Biden that he would refrain from intervening, Hunter received a pardon from his father in December 2024 following his conviction on gun charges in June. This development underscores the ongoing challenges and controversies surrounding Hunter Biden's legal and personal endeavors.
