New Book Reveals Who Hunter Wanted to Pay His Legal Bills and His 'Inappropriate' Appearance in Meetings

A new book has dropped another stunning tidbit in the Hunter Biden saga.

According to an excerpt from the new book by reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf, “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” things were difficult for Hunter in June of last year.

With Hunter’s paintings as his main source of income, the family was growing concerned about how he could continue to afford pricey Washington lawyers like Abbe Lowell. At one point, the family asked senior White House aides to consider whether Biden could help his son raise money for legal bills. The question became more urgent amid concerns that Lowell might drop Hunter as a client if bills weren’t paid.
Hunter found out the Democratic National Committee was paying President Biden’s legal fees arising from an investigation into his handling of classified documents, taken over by a special counsel, Robert Hur. Hunter asked why the DNC could not pay his too. Lawyers ultimately decided the president should not be involved in fundraising for Hunter, and the DNC could not justify picking up Hunter’s tab.

Because, of course, he did. How crazy and entitled is that?

First, I don't think the DNC should have been paying Joe Biden's bills for what were his alleged personal actions. Democrats should have been in an uproar just over that. But at least you might argue he was a Democrat politician and/or occupying the Oval Office. Why the heck would they pay for Hunter?

As we've reported, the DNC has been in a lot of turmoil with questions about money, the fight with David Hogg, and the American Federation of Teachers head, Randi Weingarten, leaving.

If the DNC had paid for Hunter at that time, they'd be in even worse shape. Their people would have figuratively torn them to pieces. I don't think there would have been any way to justify that, especially to the left of their party.

There was also another moment that showed the influence that Hunter was having in the White House. It was after the Supreme Court ruling in the Trump presidential immunity case.

Jeff Zients, the White House chief of staff, convened a video call with top aides and Biden joined from Camp David. The discussion centered on whether Biden would release a statement in writing or talk on camera. The president decided he wanted to return to the White House to speak, and the staff on the call began to work out details.
Suddenly an unidentified voice piped up from Biden’s screen and recommended an Oval Office address. At first, some aides had no idea who was speaking. It soon became clear the voice belonged to Hunter Biden, who the White House staff had not known was on the call.
White House Counsel Ed Siskel expressed some concern about Biden speaking from the Oval Office. Hunter snapped back: “This is one of the most consequential decisions the Supreme Court has ever made.” He said his father had every right to use the powerful imagery of the Oval Office to deliver that message. (They later settled on the Cross Hall, the long hallway on the first floor of the White House.) After the call ended, Siskel told colleagues Hunter’s presence was inappropriate.

Why was he even on such a call? Once again, there's the question of who was controlling things.
