Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has been threatened with a year of prison time and a $20,000 fine by an Arkansas judge if he fails to provide financial information and appear in court next month to answer questions from the counsel of his childs mother.
Last year, Hunter Biden opened up his paternity agreement with Lunden Roberts, the mother of his child, citing a substantial material change in his financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income. Hunter Bidens payments are $20,000 per month, a calculation based on income.
Hunter Bidens financials could reveal information about his familys business deals and his anonymous art sales. For example, they could tell how much Hunter Biden earned from his interest in BHR Partners, a Chinese state-backed investment fund founded just days after Hunter and President Joe Biden visited China in 2013. Hunter Biden held a ten percent stake in BHR Partners through Skaneateles LLC. Documents obtained by Breitbart News revealed Skaneateles LLC is controlled by Kevin Morris, Hunters top attorney, who also paid Hunters IRS debts.
If Hunter Biden does not provide financial information and show up for the court appearance, the judge said he would face six months in jail for criminal contempt, six months in jail for civil contempt, and a $20,000 fine payable to Ms. Roberts, the Sun reported.
In early May, Hunter Biden appeared before the Independence County circuit judge, who ordered him to answer questions about his financials and sit for an interview under oath in a child support case against his daughters mother. The judge also scheduled a hearing for July to determine the child support dispute.
Mr. Biden does not want to disclose his income and assets, says that he is somewhat financially destitute, while he lives on a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, has Secret Service protection, and enjoys his time abroad, Robertss legal team wrote.
Hunter Bidens court case in Arkansas is just one of his legal challenges. He faces a Justice Department investigation into potential tax and gun violations and is the center of the House Oversight Committees probe into the Biden family for nine potential violations.
