On Wednesday, Hunter Biden formally requested that a federal judge dismiss his lawsuit against a former Trump aide,
a case that centers on the release of information from a laptop believed to belong to the son of former President Joe Biden.
Citing significant financial constraints and a steep decline in his income, Biden’s legal team argued that continuing the
litigation was untenable given his current economic situation. This request comes amid a series of financial and legal
challenges that have compounded over recent years, painting a picture of a beleaguered figure struggling to meet both personal and professional obligations.
In documents filed in a California federal court, Biden’s attorneys asked U.S. District Judge Hernan D. Vera to
dismiss the 2023 lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler. They asserted that Hunter Biden’s income had “dropped significantly”
and that he now faced mounting debts amounting to millions of dollars. The filing also highlighted how external
factors—such as wildfires in the Pacific Palisades that rendered his rental home uninhabitable for an extended period—had
exacerbated his financial woes. This report provides a detailed look at the key elements of the case,
the arguments put forth by Biden’s lawyers, and the broader implications of his financial distress on his legal battles.
