Hunter Biden claims family is broke as law firm seeks $17M in fees

Hunter Biden claims his family is financially insolvent while facing a $17 million legal fee dispute with the law firm Winston Taylor. The report also notes the financial struggles of former President Joe Biden following his departure from office.
Why it matters
The financial status of the Biden family remains a subject of public interest and political scrutiny regarding their post-White House activities.
In a recently released deposition transcript, Hunter Biden claimed his family is broke and he’s being crushed by legal fees. The deposition is related to an ongoing lawsuit between Biden and firm Winston Taylor for unpaid legal bills. Winston Taylor, which has a history of representing leading Democrats, claims the Biden scion owes it $17 million from representing him in criminal prosecutions, congressional investigations and defamation suits against his critics. "My family doesn't have any money, and it's not their debt anyway," he said, according to the transcript. "I don't own anything of any value other than — and I don't know the value of it — my paintings which I painted myself. So, that's it. And I don't even have any other assets at all — stocks, bonds, anything like that, savings accounts."
