In contrast, the new York Post argues the claim is a misdirection, suggesting Biden might potentially be hiding from creditors in California at a luxury estate, wiht a South Africa connection noted but not presented as the main story. The piece also notes sightings and anecdotes, including Biden being seen in Cape Town with his wife and Easter Sunday in California at a business associate\u2019s home, and it references ample debt and legal fees affecting his finances. It also covers skepticism from gallerists about the resale value of Biden\u2019s artwork and includes social-media commentary about his financial situation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A court filing claiming Hunter Biden is living overseas is not true, according to a new report.<\/p>\n<p>In early April, Barry Coburn, an attorney representing former President Joe Biden&rsquo;s son, touched on Hunter Biden&rsquo;s residence in an April 6 filing as part of a lawsuit over legal fees Hunter Biden had not paid, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/hunter-biden-now-living-abroad-legal-troubles-mount-court-filing-reveals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Mr. Biden lives abroad,&rdquo;
