Overview
- In a recent D.C. civil filing, Hunter Biden’s attorney wrote that his client lives abroad and cannot pay his current lawyers.
- Winston & Strawn LLP is suing in Washington to recover unpaid fees from its prior work on Biden’s Delaware gun trial and California tax case.
- His current location is unconfirmed, with Biden previously saying on a South African podcast that he was splitting time with Cape Town, while the New York Post, citing unnamed sources, reports he is in California.
- Biden has said he faces about $17 million in legal debt, and the new lawsuit seeks to claw back what the firm describes as a substantial unpaid balance.
- Joe Biden pardoned his son on federal charges before leaving office in 2025, which ended criminal exposure but did not erase private debts or block civil fee claims.
