Hunter Biden may have received a last-minute, blanket pardon from his father before Joe Biden left the Oval Office, but his money woes are still mounting, and the ‘laptop from hell’ is still coming back to haunt him.
From NBC News: Hunter Biden asked a federal judge Wednesday to dismiss his lawsuit against an ex-Trump aide that centers on the publication of contents of a laptop attributed to the former president’s son, saying his dwindling financial resources have made it difficult to proceed with litigation.
In documents filed in federal court in California, Biden’s attorneys urged U.S. District Judge Hernan D. Vera to dismiss the 2023 lawsuit filed against Garrett Ziegler. They said Biden “has suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range.”
His financial troubles were made worse, Biden’s attorneys said, after the wildfires in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles “upended” his life by making his rental home “unlivable for an extended period of time.”
Biden “has had difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live as well as finding it difficult to earn a living,” they wrote, adding that he needs to direct his time and available resources to dealing with his relocation, the damage to his rental house and his family’s living expenses, “as opposed to this litigation.”
NBC explains that that Hunter had accused Ziegler and the company he founded, Marco Polo, of breaking state and federal laws to create an online searchable database with 128,000 emails found on his laptop. Ziegler declared the lawsuit “completely frivolous.”
Hunter had filed the lawsuit against Ziegler in September 2023, but now he says he can’t afford to pursue the matter, because he faces millions of dollars of debt and is “not in a position where I can borrow money.”
In his request to dismiss the lawsuit, Hunter revealed that he is now having a hard time selling both his books and his art, and the promise of ‘paid speaking engagements’ has dried up as well.
In the 2 or 3 years prior to filing the lawsuit, Hunter said he sold 27 pieces of art for an average of $54,000 each, but lamented that he has only sold one piece for $36,000 since then.
Book sales have fallen flat as well. He released his personal memoir, “Beautiful Things,” in April 2021. But by 2023, sales had fallen to only 3,100 from April-Sept. 2023, and then only about 1,100 after that.
This is a reminder what a horrible father Joe Biden is. He created this mess. pic.twitter.com/TcVFavPloh

Meanwhile, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine released a new book in September 2024, titled, “The Big Guy: How a President and His Son Sold Out America.”
Read about the deep state coverup of Biden corruption in my new book: #TheBigGuy. The same unaccountable cabal who protected Joe Biden tried to cripple Donald Trump’s first term, destroy his 2024 candidacy, and will lead the resistance in his second term.
