Hunter Biden Faces Contempt Hearing and Possible Jail Time
The son of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, faces the possibility of being held in contempt of court and serving jail time. This comes after a judge ordered him and all parties involved in a paternity case to appear in court for a hearing. The hearing will determine if Biden is in compliance with a court order to turn over financial information related to the case.
Biden has already been found to be the father of a child born in Arkansas in 2018 to Lunden Alexis Roberts. He has been ordered to pay child support and provide financial information related to his income and assets. However, he has reportedly failed to comply with the court order, leading to the contempt hearing.
If found in contempt of court, Biden could face fines or even jail time. This would be a significant blow to the Biden family, as they already face scrutiny due to Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine while his father was Vice President.
Details of the Case Against Hunter Biden
The case against Hunter Biden began when Lunden Roberts filed a paternity suit in May of 2019. DNA testing confirmed that Biden is the father of her child. Since then, Biden has been ordered to pay child support and provide financial information related to his income and assets.
The current hearing is related to Biden’s failure to comply with the court order to turn over financial information. Reportedly, Biden has only provided three years worth of tax returns and has not provided information regarding his income from his business dealings in Ukraine and China.
Biden’s attorneys have argued that the financial information requested is not relevant to the case and that Roberts is seeking to harass Biden. However, the judge in the case has ordered all parties involved to appear in court for the contempt hearing.
Judge Orders Physical Appearances in Court for Hunter Biden and All Parties Involved
In an unusual move, the judge in the paternity case involving Hunter Biden has ordered all parties involved, including Biden, to appear in court in person for the contempt hearing. This includes Roberts, Biden’s attorneys, and the judge himself.
The judge has stated that he wants to ensure that all parties are present and that the hearing moves forward without delay. This is a significant development in the case, as it indicates that the judge is taking the matter seriously and is prepared to take action if necessary.
It is unclear when the hearing will take place, as the court has not yet set a date. However, it is expected to be a high-profile event, given the involvement of Hunter Biden and the scrutiny that his family is already facing.
Hunter Biden’s Financial Circumstances Under Scrutiny
The paternity case involving Hunter Biden has put his financial circumstances under scrutiny. In addition to the child support payments that he has been ordered to make, he has also been ordered to provide financial information related to his income and assets.
Biden’s income from his business dealings in Ukraine and China has come under particular scrutiny. He served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company while his father was Vice President and reportedly earned over $50,000 per month. He also reportedly earned significant sums from Chinese companies.
Biden’s attorneys have argued that the financial information requested is not relevant to the case and that Roberts is seeking to harass Biden. However, the judge in the case has ordered all parties involved to appear in court for the contempt hearing, indicating that he takes the matter seriously.
Attorney for Lunden Roberts Raises Questions About Hunter Biden’s Income and Assets
The attorney for Lunden Roberts, the mother of Hunter Biden’s child, has raised questions about Biden’s income and assets. Roberts has been seeking financial information related to Biden’s income from his business dealings in Ukraine and China, but Biden has reportedly failed to comply with the court order.
Roberts’ attorney has argued that Biden’s income from these sources is relevant to the case, as it could impact the amount of child support that he is ordered to pay. The attorney has also raised questions about the source of Biden’s income and assets, given his lack of experience in the industries in which he has reportedly earned significant sums.
The judge in the case has ordered all parties involved to appear in court for a contempt hearing, indicating that he takes the matter seriously. It remains to be seen what impact this hearing will have on the case and on the Biden family’s reputation more broadly.
