WASHINGTON – An Arkansas judge on Monday asked Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, to provide information about his finances in the context of a paternity dispute.
The lawyers for the plaintiff, Lunden Roberts, want information on the cars and works of art that Hunter Biden owns, in addition to the investments he has made in the last 5 years, his trips and the purpose and financing of them or the money. received from his father.
According to local media, Hunter Biden will have to answer questions about it. A trial date has been set for July.
Roberts claimed in court last week that Hunter Biden was ignoring court orders requiring him to provide documentation of his finances and had requested that the court hold him in contempt and send him to jail.
The case dates back to 2019 and was reactivated in September 2022, when Biden’s son requested a reduction in the support payment for the girl, who was born in 2018. Although Hunter Biden had initially claimed that the little girl was not his , DNA tests confirmed his paternity.
Hunter Biden’s attorneys say their client has so far provided Roberts with $750,000, and that his request to reduce the child support payment has given the woman an opportunity to demand information about her finances.
Hunter Biden has so far been reluctant to provide such data, which is also behind Republican lawmakers in Congress, who are investigating him for doing business with opponents of the country, allegedly taking advantage of his political ties.
Biden’s son is already being further investigated by the Justice Department for his taxes and finances.
These latest investigations began when Republican Donald Trump was in the White House, and although they have not yet resulted in any indictments, federal prosecutors, according to CNN, are weighing a felony tax evasion charge, felony charges misdemeanor failure to file taxes and a false statement charge related to the purchase of a weapon.
