According to a court filing from one of his attorneys, Biden &#8220;has incurred substantial personal loans to which he is indebted and subject to repayment for attorneys\u2019 fees he has incurred.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Child Support Battle<\/h3>\n<p>The fees have become a point of contention in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-cries-poverty-in-attempt-to-lower-child-support-payments\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Cries Poverty in Attempt to Lower Child Support Payments\">child support battle<\/a> with Lunden Alexis Roberts, the mother of Biden\u2019s four-year-old daughter. Roberts&#8217; attorneys argue that Biden&#8217;s ability to hire an all-star team of lawyers shows he can afford his current $20,000-per-month child support payments.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has retained &#8220;some of the most expensive attorneys on planet Earth,&#8221; including former Arkansas attorney general Dustin McDaniel, prominent Washington fixer Abbe Lowell, and Hollywood celebrity lawyer Kevin Morris, according to a motion filed by Roberts in an Arkansas court last month.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Defense Fund<\/h3>\n<p>Reports this week suggest that Hunter Biden is considering launching a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-justice-department-pick-opposed-enforcing-civil-rights-laws-against-blacks\/\" title=\"Biden Justice Department Pick Opposed Enforcing Civil Rights Laws Against Blacks\">legal defense fund<\/a> to raise money to pay his lawyers, a plan that has reportedly sparked ethics concerns at the White House.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Experts Weigh In<\/h3>\n<p>Legal experts say that if a third party is paying for Hunter Biden\u2019s legal services &#8220;you may have an illegal gift.&#8221; However, there isn&#8217;t a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/andrew-cuomos-5-worst-moves-as-new-yorks-governor\/\" title=\"Andrew Cuomo\u2019s 5 Worst Moves As New York\u2019s Governor\">campaign finance rule<\/a> that prohibits adult children of a candidate from receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/migration-lobbies-slam-washposts-exposure-of-white-house-splits\/\" title=\"Migration Lobbies Slam WashPost's Exposure of White House Splits\">free legal advice<\/a>. Audrey Perry Martin, a partner at the Gober Law Group, said &#8220;Free legal advice would more likely fall under the executive branch ethics and gift rules.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Craig Engle, a partner with ArentFox Schiff, said the White House did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<h3>High-Powered Legal Team<\/h3>\n<p>Biden has retained some of the most expensive attorneys on the planet, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Former Arkansas attorney general Dustin McDaniel<\/li>\n<li>Prominent Washington fixer Abbe Lowell<\/li>\n<li>Hollywood celebrity lawyer Kevin Morris<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lowell&#8217;s past clients include Donald Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), and former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards. A partner at law firm Winston &#038; Strawn, Lowell describes himself as &#8220;one of the nation\u2019s most recognized white collar defense and trial lawyers.&#8221; Court records from 2011 show he was at the time charging $855 an hour, a price tag that has almost certainly increased in the decade since.<\/p>\n<p>One source familiar with the situation, however, told the Washington Free Beacon that Lowell may not be charging Biden for his services. Lowell did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>More information on Hunter Biden&#8217;s legal payments will likely come later this week. His legal team agreed in the Monday filing to turn over &#8220;information concerning any funds he has paid to attorneys and funds paid on his behalf.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden says he is in &#8220;substantial&#8221; debt after taking out personal loans to pay for the team of high-powered lawyers fighting in Arkansas to reduce his child support payments, according to a court filing from one of his attorneys on Monday.
