Hunter Biden’s attorneys submitted a 19-page filing seeking to dismiss a lawsuit which details the financial woes of the former President’s son. Biden’s counsel argued that he is currently “finding it difficult to make a living” in Wednesday’s legal filing, which seeks to explain why Hunter Biden wants to drop a lawsuit he brought against ex-Trump White House aide, Garrett Ziegler, who published the contents of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop to the internet.

“This application is being made on the basis that good cause exists to grant this Application because Plaintiff does not have the resources to continue to litigate this matter. Plaintiff has suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range,” the filing states, referring to Hunter Biden.

The filing specifically notes that demand for Hunter Biden’s artwork and literary work has “suffered a significant downturn” over the past 18 months or so. Then his attorneys mention the California wildfires:

“Moreover, this lack of resources has been exacerbated after the fires in the Pacific Palisades in early January upended Plaintiff’s life by rendering his rental house unlivable for an extended period of time and, like many others in that situation, Plaintiff has had difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live as well as finding it difficult to earn a living,” the motion continues. “So, Plaintiff must focus his time and resources dealing with his relocation, the damage he has incurred due to the fires, and paying for his family’s living expenses as opposed to this litigation.”

The suit against Ziegler was just “one of several lawsuits filed against critics who have published or aggressively covered the laptop’s contents and alleged Biden family influence peddling” reports the Daily Caller. Wednesday’s filing addresses that Hunter Biden has other civil lawsuits pending in the system, and that his financial situation is “forcing him to reassess those suits on a case-by-case basis given that his resources are limited.”
