Since 2018, Hunter Biden has racked up over $10 million worth of legal bills, and as you’d expect, he’s been having troubles raising money to fund his ongoing legal issues. So who’s footing the bill, you ask? Well, it looks like we just got the answer.
It appears that Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris is the third-party benefactor who has paid off a substantial portion of Hunter Biden’s debt and encouraged him to aggressively fight ongoing investigations led by House Republicans.
Nice reporting here from CNN, except that it buries the lede about Kevin Morris covering a substantial portion of Hunter Biden's legal bills. Morris is the third party who paid $2 million of Hunter Biden's overdue taxes and got thanked "on behalf of the family" for doing so. https://t.co/u1BNHG09Zs pic.twitter.com/7G291lyIyG

Kevin Morris is an experienced Hollywood lawyer who handles the legal work on behalf of several high-profile clients, including the creators of comedy show “South Park” and the musical, “The Book of Mormon.” He was identified in May 2022 as the financial benefactor who paid off roughly $2 million worth of Hunter Biden’s delinquent taxes spread across multiple years.
While it wasn’t confirmed in the document if he was indeed the third party involved in this payment, James B., Hunter Biden’s uncle and business partner thanked Morris for helping his nephew “on behalf of the family” according to an internal IRS memo released on September 27th by the House Ways and Means Committee.

It is reported that Hunter Biden has spent over $10 million in legal bills since 2018; with more mounting each month due to all his various court cases. This amount could reach up to $1 million per month or more depending on how many court cases he needs defending from.
He has also hired Abbe Lowell onto his defense counsel team – at Morris’ suggestion – as well as two IRS whistleblowers who have accused DOJ officials of obstructing their case against him. All these factors contribute towards making Hunter’s already hefty tab even larger than before.
Axios Reporter Alex Thompson spotted leaving the property of Hunter Biden’s financial benefactor Kevin Morris as Hunter came by to meet his pal, per Daily Mail. Wondering what to make of this because Thompson is well sourced in Biden world. https://t.co/pLO2waWXIA pic.twitter.com/epI4SO5urg

Hunter Biden’s financial troubles present a problem for President Joe Biden because they raise questions about whether or not money from supporters were used to pay off Hunter’s debts – something which could constitute a campaign finance violation if true.
Additionally there have been reports that someone close to Joe had considered establishing a legal defense fund for their client but nothing materialized yet so it remains unclear what will happen next in terms of financing such an expensive endeavor.
