Hunter Biden Says Family Is Broke in $17 Million Legal Fee Fight

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 1

Hunter Biden said in a newly released February deposition that his family is broke, he has no meaningful assets and legal bills are crushing him.
The testimony came in Winston Taylor's lawsuit claiming Biden owes $17 million for work tied to criminal cases, congressional probes and defamation suits.
Biden argues the firm knew he could not pay and expected to "work something out," while Winston Taylor says it tried to line up Democratic donors to help cover the bills.
A $1.7 million defamation judgment Biden won in July has not eased the dispute: the firm is seeking a lien on it, and collecting from Patrick Byrne is complicated because he is believed overseas.
The cash-strain claim adds to earlier reports that Joe Biden left office with about $800,000 in debt even as he still receives more than $400,000 a year in government pensions.
