Hunter Biden’s Legal team recently submitted a motion to drop its lawsuit against the ex-White House assistant who published the content of his notorious laptop, referring to financial issues.
The motion, submitted in Los Angeles Wednesday relates to the court case of the former first son against Garrett Ziegler. The court documents, obtained by FOX News, illustrate the financial and personal issues that Biden has experienced in the new year, including being victims of being the forest fires In the Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles.
Biden brought the lawsuit for the first time in September 2023, but “does not have the means to continue to litigate this issue,” said the submission.
“The plaintiff has suffered a considerable decline in his income and has considerable debts in the reach of millions of dollars,” the document said.

The Biden house that is being rented in Los Angeles is now “unlivable” according to the submission, which says that Biden “has difficulty” to find both a new house and a new job.
“Moreover, this lack of resources has been exacerbated after the fires in the Pacific Palisades were raised at the beginning of January by making his rental house unlivable for a longer period of time and, like many others in that situation, the plaintiff had difficulty finding a new permanent place to live,” the document says.
“So the plaintiff has to focus his time and resources that deal with his move, the damage he has suffered because of the fires and paying the livelihood of his family in contrast to this lawsuit.”

In another document that was submitted on Wednesday, Biden wrote a letter explaining that his income was “considerably taken” and revealed what he earned for his artwork.
“In the 2 to 3 years before December 2023 I sold 27 works of art for an average price of $ 54,481.48, but since then I have only sold 1 piece of art for $ 36,000,” Biden wrote. “Likewise, for my book sales, in the period of six months before the statements (1 April 2023 to 30 September 2023), were based on the statement of 30 September 2023, 3,161 copies of my book, but only about 1,100 books were sold in the six months after the statements.”
The sale of 27 works of art for an average price of $ 54.481.48 means that he could have earned almost $ 1.5 million on the artwork. The Yale Law School -Grad also wrote that he expected paid pronounced speaking engagements and performances after the success of his book, “but that didn’t happen,” wrote Biden.

“This significant decrease in turnover has also influenced my ability to pay off my considerable debt, which, as reported in the press, as a few million dollars. As a result, I am not in a position where I can borrow money.”
