In his paternity case, Hunter Biden has missed a Jan. 16 deadline to provide financial information for the past five years as ordered by the court and has now been ordered to appear January 29th to explain why he shouldn’t be held in contempt for violating a court order.
Arkansas Gazette reports Hunter Biden must appear Jan. 29 in a Batesville courtroom and explain why he shouldn’t be held in contempt for violating court orders to provide financial information in his Arkansas paternity case.
Independence County Circuit Judge Holly Meyer signed an “Order to Appear and Show Cause” on Monday, a day when Arkansas courts were closed to honor the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The judge’s order was filed into the court record Tuesday.
The one-sentence order was prepared by Clinton and Jennifer Lancaster, attorneys for Lunden Alexis Roberts, the mother of Biden’s 16-month-old child.
Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, is being ordered to appear in the Arkansas courtroom days after President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial began in the Senate. Hunter Biden has been mentioned as a possible witness in the impeachment proceedings.
Questions about Hunter Biden’s finances, employment history and previous substance abuse have been raised by Republicans during the impeachment inquiry. Biden has defended his past business dealings, portraying criticism as politically motivated. His father, Joe Biden, is a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Clinton Lancaster said the paternity case has nothing to do with the president’s impeachment trial.
“My understanding is impeachment proceedings are ongoing,” Lancaster said. “I have not received any subpoena. I don’t believe we have any stake in the impeachment proceedings. We don’t have any stake in it whatsoever. We need his income so we can determine child support.”
Also filed into the Independence County Circuit Court record Tuesday was a “Second Motion for Contempt and for Order to Show Cause” from Lancaster.
Hunter Biden “continues to act as though he has no respect for this court, its orders, the legal process in this state, or the needs of his child for support,” wrote Lancaster, arguing that Biden should be found in contempt.
Biden missed a Jan. 16 deadline to provide financial information for the past five years as ordered by the court, Lancaster wrote. The financial information would remain under seal, according to a court order.
It’s the Biden Slutpocalypse!!!
There’s a word for what he is now and the old me would have used it :)
That’s a GREAT name for a nightclub party!
He would have been sooOOOooo much better off just owning up to his legal responsibility of child support and settled out of court. Even an expensive settlement would have been better than what’s ahead of him.
Hunter Biden “continues to act as though he has no respect for this court, its orders, the legal process in this state, or the needs of his child for support,” wrote Lancaster, arguing that Biden should be found in contempt.
Why do you suppose he’s like that? He hasn’t been held accountable for anything his whole life since kindergarten.
Haha...a judge in Arkansas can do what no one in the bloated federal bureaucracy can do....make Hunter Biden cough up his financial records.
“The one-sentence order was prepared by Clinton and Jennifer Lancaster, attorneys for Lunden Alexis Roberts, the mother of Biden’s 16-month-old child.”
Steve Jobs mamaged to fight his parental responsibility for several years...
Especially if there was a non-disclosure agreement agreed to by the parties.
Yes, but not for the same reasons.........................
He’s from Delaware and new York
Arkansas does’t count and can’t g get him to make him appear.
Bill Clinton will call in favors and protect him /s
That is the least damaging part.
If Biden has to produce financial records, he either can’t or he has to admit to criminal wrongdoing.........................
I’m amazed that he hasn’t just written her a big seven or eight figure check and made this all go away.
He’s a Biden.
That’s Delawarean for ‘Not so bright!’...............
Dog the Bounty Hunter will........................
$10 says Hunter brings his Mommy to tell the Judge he is a Good Boy.
He will ignore this ‘order’ as he has already...................
Helloooooooo your judgeship, don’t you understand Hunter doesn’t HAVE to show up to your little soap opera. His dad is RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
Can any Arkansas attorney here speculate what kind of trouble Hunter is courting by not fully cooperating? Most states take this pretty serious. Otherwise the tax payer ends up on the hook.
