While congressional and federal investigations into the first son’s financial troubles are still proceeding, Hunter Biden’s advisors and Joe Biden’s White House are at odds over the first son’s legal defense plan.
The most recent issue involves Hunter’s plan to establish a legal defense fund to assist in paying the 53-year-old’s expensive attorneys, including longtime Democratic fixer Abbe Lowell.
According to Axios, the fund might make Hunter’s attempts to thwart Republicans on the House Oversight Committee who are looking into the Biden family’s influence-peddling abroad more difficult, especially if contributions come from foreign organizations.
“For this fund to work, it must be extraordinarily transparent and even restrictive by prohibiting foreign citizens and registered lobbyists from contributing,” a former senior adviser to Attorney General Merrick Garland told the outlet.
“Without these type of guardrails, the fund will be a legitimate headache for the White House.”
