REPORT: Hunter dodging case to go on vacation
About a week ago, we reported that Hunter Biden was dropping his case against former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler.
Hunter had claimed that Ziegler illegally hacked his now infamous laptop to publish the contents.
Ziegler, however, is fighting the motion, and now he appears to have additional ammo to use against Hunter to defend his position.
Out of Money
Hunter has claimed that he can no longer pursue the case because he is broke.
Hunter’s sugar daddy is no longer writing checks to cover his bills, and Hunter’s pathetic watercolors are no longer selling, likely because with Joe Biden out of office, those big money donors can no longer solicit favors from Hunter’s daddy.
In his motion to drop the case, Hunter argued that he wants to spend what resources he has left on taking care of his family, not pursuing this case.
Hunter also claimed that his memoir is no longer selling, so he has no real source of income right now.
Ziegler, however, says his defense is solid and he does not want to let Hunter off the hook.
He has since added that Hunter is dropping the case due to a scheduled deposition that would interfere with a trip to South Africa that Hunter has planned.
Hunter’s legal team has since countered, “Accusations that [Hunter’s] counsel is lying about the basis for his motion is despicable.”
Since the New York Post first broke the story, the website Marco Polo, owned by Ziegler, has published thousands of photos from the laptop, which is why Hunter went after him, claiming Ziegler illegally obtained the information.
I am all for this lawsuit, as I would love to see Hunter lose his case and be forced to pay Ziegler back the hundreds of thousands of dollars he has been forced to spend in legal fees.
Honestly, my belief is that Hunter’s attorneys realized they had a losing case and recommended to Hunter that he drop the case rather than lose and be forced to pay those legal fees.
To that point, Ziegler’s legal team, regarding Hunter’s claims about the wildfires, stated, “We note that Mr. Biden did not expressly claim to have lost his home or belongings. It does not, however, serve as an excuse to avoid litigation responsibilities.”
I saw this case as damage control by Hunter, but now that he is more or less irrelevant, he dropped the case.
But Ziegler is clearly not going to make this easy for him, and for good reason. At some point, Hunter needs to be held responsible for his actions, and if writing a check to Ziegler for a few hundred grand is the only way we can do that, so be it.
