Hunter Biden just put himself in a heap of new legal trouble: former prosecutor

Raw Story  

A federal judge ruled on Monday that President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, must disclose more information about his finances as part of an ongoing paternity case. "The judge ruled that Hunter will have to answer more questions under oath about his finances and chided him in hiding information that should be public," said anchor Jake Tapper. And here it now seems that Hunter Biden and his lawyers have lost credibility with the judge who said on the record they have played games with some of the evidentiary obligations," said Honig. "Hunter Biden went back to court and said, I want to pay less in, and now he's going to have to sit for an under-oath deposition and turn over more documents about his dealings, including his sale of so-called artwork and any income from any foreign sources," Honig continued.
