Judge Grants Hunter Biden’s Request to Dismiss Lawsuit Because He’s Broke
National Review ^ | 3/14/25 | James Lynch

A federal judge dismissed Hunter Biden’s lawsuit filed against a former Trump administration staffer in California after Biden requested the case end because of his financial difficulties.

U.S. district judge Hernan Vera terminated Biden’s lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler Thursday over the public database Ziegler made with emails and images from the younger Biden’s infamous laptop hard drive and iPhone server.

An appointee of Hunter Biden’s father, former President Joe Biden, Vera tossed Biden’s legal challenge with prejudice, meaning he cannot bring the lawsuit again at some point in the future

“To be clear, the Court does not express any opinion concerning the underlying merits of the case. And the Court accepts the detailed representations made by Plaintiff as to the reasons motivating his request to dismiss. But under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41, and on these facts, Plaintiff’s request to dismiss without prejudice is not warranted,” Vera said in an order.

Hunter Biden asked Vera to toss the case last week because of financial struggles due to dried up book sales and art sales starting in late 2023, when he was indicted on federal tax charges and the subject of a high-profile impeachment investigation by House Republicans. The loss of income also coincided with the collapse of Joe Biden’s political career last summer due to his advanced age and evidently declining mental faculties.

Last year, Biden’s art dealer Georges Berges testified before congressional investigators about how he ended his contract with Biden in September 2023 for business and political reasons. Berges said Biden sold approximately $1.5 million worth of art, $875,000 of which was purchased by his friend and financial benefactor Kevin Morris, a wealthy entertainment lawyer. Morris confirmed the art purchases when he testified before congress, and his lawyer subsequently disclosed to lawmakers $6.5 million of...

Poor Hunter, he’s broke. I think he should move to the south of France and cut his ear off.

“So, you’re describing a situation of the utmost urgency?
The Court will consider all likely manner of grievous injuries to the Plaintiff.”

“”Apparently, the law now provides for SS protection for the adult children of former presidents for 10 years after their parent leaves the presidency.””

You can go blind googling the rules...it changes every time someone turns around. Each time it has to go through congress. You can’t find many articles that are even dated that supposedly have the answers. Bush and Clinton requested that obozo change the law for SS protection for presidents. WHY? Why didn’t they get it changed when they were in office? Trump changed it for his adult children. GW had it changed for his daughters...Clinton had it changed for Chelsea...

It looks like children of former presidents get 6 months after leaving office. It started with the Trump children.

I thought I remembered Don Jr. and Eric Trump saying they were on their own after 2020. I don’t understand why we need to spend a nickel protecting the career criminal Hunter. I expect he is making a fortune now selling all the secrets he stole.
