Hunter Biden is at it again, folks, and this time, he’s called in the big guns—literally. As the son of President Joe Biden faces a tax evasion trial, he’s brought on a high-profile criminal defense lawyer to help him wriggle out of yet another mess. It seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the Biden family when dodging accountability.
Hunter’s latest legal scramble comes after his summer chats with the special counsel, which didn’t lead to the sweetheart plea deal he was hoping for. That would’ve been the perfect escape hatch after his recent conviction on gun-related charges, but alas, the Biden magic didn’t work this time—at least not yet. Some insiders believe a plea deal could still be on the table, which might spare the president’s son from yet another courtroom drama. But for now, nothing’s set in stone, and Hunter is staring down the barrel of a tax trial that could land him in even hotter water.
Hunter has enlisted Mark Geragos, a big-name defense attorney from Los Angeles, to take the reins with the trial looming. Why Geragos? Well, it turns out that Hunter’s regular crew of DC-based attorneys is feeling the strain—both financially and time-wise. The gun case in Delaware might have been just a warm-up because the tax trial is expected to drag on much longer, which means more time, money, and headaches for everyone involved. And let’s be honest, folks, when you’re paying top dollar for legal talent like Abbe Lowell at a whopping $1,700 an hour, those headaches are no small matter.
This legal circus highlights how much the situation around Hunter Biden has shifted over the past few months. The media would have you believe that Hunter is just an innocent guy caught up in a few bad decisions, but the truth is that he’s neck-deep in legal and political quicksand. With his father preparing to make a graceful exit from the White House, Hunter’s antics are becoming a liability the Biden family can’t afford.
And speaking of money, it seems Hunter’s cash flow is drying up. His primary benefactor, Hollywood big-shot Kevin Morris, isn’t able to funnel as much cash into Hunter’s defense anymore. Over the past year and a half, Hunter’s legal team has been busy filing lawsuits against his critics, but those bills are peanuts compared to the mountain of debt piling up from his criminal cases. The Delaware trial might have only lasted seven days, but the upcoming tax trial is expected to be a marathon, and the costs are skyrocketing.
Now, you might wonder why Hunter is in such a bind. Let’s not forget he’s facing charges for failing to pay a cool $1.4 million in federal taxes. The prosecutors are going to try to convince a jury that Hunter pulled a fast one on the IRS by hiding his international business dealings while splurging on luxury hotels, fancy cars, and, of course, sex workers. Sure, Hunter eventually paid back those taxes, but that doesn’t erase the crime. His potential prison time could get a severe bump if convicted on those counts.
And what about good old Dad? President Biden has already said he won’t be dishing out any pardons or commutations for his son—at least, that’s what he claimed while he was still in the race for a second term. But since Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid last month, who knows if his stance has changed? The White House is staying tight-lipped on the matter, but one thing’s for sure: the possibility of a presidential pardon hangs over this affair like a dark cloud.
Hunter’s legal team, with heavy hitters like Lowell and Geragos, has experience securing high-profile pardons. Geragos even managed to get a last-minute pardon from Bill Clinton for a client caught up in the Whitewater scandal. But let’s be honest—this isn’t just about legal maneuvering. If there’s going to be a pardon for Hunter, it will likely be a father-son conversation behind closed doors, far from the prying eyes of the media.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as Hunter’s federal tax trial approaches. Will he manage to cut a deal and avoid the embarrassment of another trial? Or will he finally face the music for his years of shady business and reckless behavior? Only time will tell, but one thing’s sure: the Biden family drama is far from over.
