A federal COVID loan to the art gallery repping Hunter Biden more than doubled after his father took office, records show.
The Georges Berges Gallery initially received a $150,000 COVID “disaster assistance loan” from the SBA last year.
But the loan was recently “revised,” with the SBA approving a further $350,000 to the gallery this summer.
The approval came on July 26, in the lead-up to Berges’ exclusive marketing of 15 paintings by the president’s scandal-scarred son.
In addition to the COVID loans, the SoHo gallery received nearly $80,000 in two payments in April 2020 and February 2021 under the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, funds meant to help businesses keep up with paychecks to employees during the pandemic.
All tolled, $580,000 in taxpayer-funded COVID relief aid was doled out to a gallery with only two employees, according to SBA records.
Asked in repeated messages if the Bidens interceded in his loans; if any of the government cash went directly to Hunter Biden as a salary or stipend; or if any of it was used to market his artwork, Berges refused to answer.
Besides being the President's son, Hunter Biden also creates art. Besides being the President’s son, Hunter Biden also creates art. TheImageDirect.com “I received my PPP loan in April of 2020 when Donald Trump was president, along with countless other galleries which, considering a global pandemic was happening, we had every right to. … Most galleries received this loan,” Berges said. “We were not unique.”
While there is no evidence President Biden helped secure the fatter disaster relief loan for the gallery, a watchdog group found that of the more than 100 galleries in New York City’s 10th congressional district, which includes SoHo, TriBeCa and Chelsea, the Georges Berges Gallery received “by far” the largest SBA disaster loan windfall.

Impeach the Bass Turd!
Sounds like a good gig.
besides this is probably normal, I am sure any of us could have done the same thing.
How in the sam hell is this guy still walking around freely?
I know he’s the president’s son, but the man has been selling
his access for a long long time, and his father has been
taking part of the cash.
This is such clear corruption, there’s no denying it.
The people who ignore it, are the ones who have tried to
make a case against Trump for the last six years, for
doing perfectly legal things.
Hunter and Joseph Stolen WERE NOT DOING LEGAL THINGS.
> IMO
All it takes is a phone call, man!
In fairness, ya gotta remember that’s gross. You have to subtract the 10 percent for the big guy.
Yeah. Art galleries...not suffering small businesses, need hundreds of thousands of dollars.
D.C. is a cesspool.
Art galleries are where yuppies go to do coke.
H/T satirist John Semmens.......at a speech in Illinois, Biden bragged about “using my personal magnetism to help a good friend of mine cut in line ahead of others at a Pennsylvania hospital emergency room. I just called and said this is Joe Biden. You know, I grew up in Pennsylvania. I’d like you to do me a favor…I didn’t even have to mention I am the President of the United States. This is just one more example of how I’ve been getting things done for the American people since I’ve been President.”
THIS JUST IN: Hunter Biden’s Second Art Show in NYC Delayed Until Spring
I hear Hunter’s going back into therapy.......seems he can’t get it on unless there’s a laptop in the room.
They’re gonna try to wean him off laptops into smart phone cameras..........thus the delay.
Hunters sex life is more important than his art.
Damn, ten grand short of $300K a year. Who said those Art History degrees were worthless? Even when you factor in ten percent for the Big Guy that's pretty good coin.
The art world don’t think too highly of Hunter’s “art”!
