Hunter Biden reportedly asked the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to cover his legal expenses related to federal tax and gun charges, according to a forthcoming book.
The book, titled “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” alleges that the DNC declined his request.
At the time, the DNC was already paying legal fees for President Joe Biden in connection with a separate investigation into alleged mishandling of classified documents.
According to the book, the DNC chose not to extend that financial support to Hunter Biden’s unrelated legal issues.
By mid-2024, Hunter Biden’s legal bills were growing. Kevin Morris, a longtime associate and financial backer sometimes referred to as Hunter’s “sugar brother,” had already paid over $2 million to settle his outstanding tax liabilities.
Morris also contributed to ongoing legal costs related to Hunter’s federal cases.
Hunter Biden’s obligations extended beyond legal fees.
He was also responsible for alimony payments to his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and child support for his daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, born from his relationship with Lunden Roberts.
These payments were part of a court settlement finalized in June 2023, the New York Post reported.
According to Morris’ testimony to House Republican investigators, Hunter’s total legal expenses had reached about $5 million by January 2024, as the presidential campaign began to intensify.
Morris’ financial support reportedly became a source of tension within his family.
His daughter later accused Hunter Biden of exploiting her father’s generosity, according to details in the book.
Hunter Biden was convicted on June 11, 2024, of three felony gun charges related to the illegal possession of a firearm while addicted to drugs.
In September, he also pleaded guilty to multiple felony tax offenses involving more than $1.4 million in unpaid taxes.
The law firm representing Hunter in the Delaware gun case later filed a lawsuit claiming he failed to pay over $50,000 in legal fees. These unpaid bills added to his mounting financial and legal troubles throughout 2024.
Before leaving office, then-President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son. The pardon covered all convictions and extended to any potential crimes committed by Hunter Biden between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
According to an excerpt of the book published in the Wall Street Journal, President Biden told a close friend, “The only thing I care about is that my son is not convicted.” This quote was attributed to journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf.
The book also reports that Biden considered setting up a legal defense fund to support his son. This effort would have addressed both the federal criminal investigation and a concurrent congressional inquiry into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
That congressional investigation has explored whether Hunter Biden’s international business activities may have involved or implicated other family members, including the president.
The tell-all book, “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” is being published by Penguin Press and is scheduled for release on July 8.
