Shawn Fleetwood of the Federalist documents a former first son’s financial woes.

When they weren’t outright ignoring bombshell developments documenting Joe’s involvement in the family’s money-making operation, these so-called “journalists” were more than happy to go along with the Biden White House’s talking points that the then-president had nothing to do with his son Hunter’s business affairs — despite former business associates, IRS and FBI whistleblowers, bank records, text messages, emails, reporting from a “highly credible” informant, written checks, and even Joe himself indicating otherwise.

“There’s no proof that Hunter making bank from business associates is about selling access to his father,” or so the phony media narrative went.

But if what the media said is true (it’s not), then how are Americans supposed to square Hunter’s newfound money problems?

On Thursday, the New York Post reported on a recent court filing by the younger Biden’s attorneys revealing that their client is in a deep financial hole. According to the report, “The embattled former first son, 55, said he has managed to sell just one piece of art … since December 2023” that was priced at $36,000 — a measly amount when compared to the roughly $1.5 million Hunter amassed throughout his dad’s 2020 campaign and subsequent presidency.

The filings — which request the court to drop Hunter’s “laptop hacking lawsuit” against a former Trump administration official — also reportedly revealed that sales for the former First Son’s 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, have also plummeted by more than 50 percent over the course of 2023.

“Given the positive feedback and reviews of my artwork and memoir, I was expecting to obtain paid speaking engagements and paid appearances, but that has not happened,” said Hunter, whose lawyers disclosed that their client “has suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range.” …

… Based on his latest court filings, it’s clear that Hunter’s ability to rake in the big bucks without the “big guy” has vanished. With his father no longer wielding the levers of power in Washington, major money shakers, both foreign and domestic, no longer see any reason to invest in the former First Son’s escapades.
