News about Hunter Biden

DailyMail.com spotted Hunter Biden, 54, having coffee with friends before going shoe shopping in Malibu.

Hunter seemed in great spirits as he puffed on a vape, causing him to break into a coughing fit.

So, who is Number One? That's the burning question, now that Meghan Markle has launched the first offering from her lifestyle brand 'American Riviera Orchard' - jarred jam, capped with bow-wrapped muslin, meant to feel artisanal, authentic and aspirational, its debut limited to 50 rations. How do we know there are only 50? Well, our duchess appears to have hand-labeled and numbered this run as if her jellies were priceless works of art - doubtless they are, in her mind - on par with Hockney, Hirst, Hunter Biden. Whoever received that coveted first jar - Oprah? Anna Wintour? Kim K? - has yet to post to Instagram or otherwise reveal themselves.

Secret Service agents protecting Hunter Biden at his Malibu mansion spent more than $4.5million in taxpayer funds in a year while they kept round-the-clock watch, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. More than $2.8 million in transactions were recorded on a government credit card and $1.12 million was spent on a variety of expenses including hotel rooms between 2021 and 2022, according to newly-obtained records. DailyMail.com obtained the list of financial transactions through a Freedom of Information Act request. It showed $632,071 was spent on rental cars used by the agents keeping an eye on the president's scandal-plagued son while he was staying at a $20,000-a-month property. At the time, the presidential bodyguards were splashing out $30,000-a-month to rent a property next door to Hunter's, where he was living with wife Melissa Cohen and son Beau.

District Judge Maryellen Noreika's ruling increases the prospect that Biden could face trial in the case as early as June, during his father's reelection campaign. His efforts to scuttle the other criminal case he faces in California involving tax allegations have also failed. Norieka denied several defense requests to dismiss the case charging Biden with lying about his drug use in October 2018 on a form to buy a gun that he kept for about 11 days.

Despite being ordered to pay 'crippling' fines of $800 per day a former investigative reporter said that she would still not reveal the confidential sources behind her reporting. Catherine Herridge is an award-winning journalist who served as an investigative reporter for CBS News from 2019 to 2024 and before then at Fox News from 1996 to 2019. She is known for her reporting on Hunter Biden and for her February termination from CBS News which resulted in hundreds of her files being seized and her getting locked out of her office. On Thursday, Herridge testified before the House Judiciary Committee about the personal costs she has shouldered to protect her sources and advocated for the PRESS Act, which aims to protect journalists from revealing their sources. 'The fact that I have been fighting in the courts for two years and that I am now facing potentially crippling fines of $800 a day to protect my reporting sources underscores the vital importance of the Press Act,' she said.

Uri Berliner, a business editor at NPR for 25 years, has offered a glimpse into how he believes NPR has gone from a respected information source to one that can't be trusted to honestly cover the news. In an essay for The Free Press , Berliner notes that while NPR has always had a liberal bent, the publication was not 'not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding' - something he says changed when Donald Trump entered the political arena. Berliner uncovers how NPR knowingly kept information from its audience during the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, as well as the covid-19 pandemic, with editors desperate to quell stories that could in any way help Donald Trump candidacy and then presidency. 'Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population,' Berliner writes. Berliner tracks the last days of the old NPR to 2011, when he says it still had a leftist tilt, but 'still bore bore a resemblance to America at large,' and an audience that described themselves as 26 percent conservative, 23 percent moderate and 37 percent liberal. But by 2023, only 11 percent of listeners described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, while 21 percent said they were 'middle of the road,' and 67 percent reported they were very or somewhat liberal. Berliner puts much of the blame for NPR's shift to the ultra left on former CEO John Lansing, who he says became a more visible figure after the 2020 killing of George Floyd by a police officer. The journalist explains: 'Floyd's murder, captured on video, changed both the conversation and the daily operations at NPR.'

Since Russia's annexation, Ukraine has refused such plans. It now finds itself with dwindling ammunition and pleading for increased arms shipments with the United States. The Trump campaign dismissed a Washington Post article on the unethical scheme as speculation.

After a judge refused to dismiss Hunter Biden's tax charges, his counsel vowed to continue fighting the 'abnormal' way they suspect special counsel is handling the lawsuit against him. Judge Mark Scarsi ruled on Monday night that the three criminal charges and six misdemeanor charges for tax evasion will proceed, filing a false return and failing to pay over $1 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019 could not be deemed political. 'We profoundly disagree with the court's decision and will continue to vigorously pursue Mr. Biden's allegations regarding the abnormal way the Special Counsel treated this probe and charged this lawsuit,' according to Fox News.

Hunter Biden has dropped his bid to have eight criminal charges against him dismissed, and a judge has allowed the tax fraud investigation to move forward. Judge Mark Scarsi found the three criminal charges and six misdemeanor charges for tax evasion, filing a false return, and failing to pay over $1 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019 were not political, as Hunter's lawyers had expected. Last week, Hunter's lawyers returned to federal court in Los Angeles to request that the judge dismiss the nine tax charges against Hunter brought by special counsel David Weiss. 'The motion is unusual in that it lacks a single declaration, exhibit, or request for judicial notice,' Trump-appointed Scarsi wrote.

Kevin Morris paid the president's son at least $5 million, designed his artwork, and made payments to Hunter's ex-wife, as well as Lunden Roberts, the mother of his illegitimate four-year-old daughter.

Kevin Morris borrowed the president's son at least $5 million, bought his artwork, and made payments to Hunter's ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, as well as Lunden Roberts, the mother of his illegitimate four-year-old daughter.

Now that the House is investigating President's impeachment, they have written to CIA director William Burns, asking why.
