Hunter Biden, who claims that his declining financial resources have made it difficult to pursue legal action, asked a federal judge on Wednesday to dismiss his lawsuit against a former Trump aide that focuses on the publication of contents from a laptop that was allegedly owned by the former president\u2019s son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biden\u2019s lawyers urged U.S. District Judge Hernan D. Vera to dismiss the 2023 lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler in documents submitted to a federal court in California. According to them, Biden \u201chas experienced a substantial decline in his income and has substantial debt in the millions of dollars range.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biden\u2019s financial difficulties worsened, according to his lawyers, after the wildfires in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles \u201cupended\u201d his life by rendering his rental home \u201cunlivable for an extended period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the letter, they stated that Biden \u201chas had difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live as well as finding it difficult to earn a living\u201d and that, \u201cas opposed to this litigation,\u201d he should focus his time and resources on relocating, fixing the damage to his rental home, and covering his family\u2019s living expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A request for comment on Wednesday was not immediately answered by Ziegler\u2019s lawyer. Regarding the court filing, Biden\u2019s lawyers chose not to comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In September 2023, Biden filed a lawsuit against Ziegler and Marco Polo, the company he founded, alleging that they violated federal and state laws by creating a searchable online database that contained 128,000 emails that were allegedly sent by Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ziegler, who worked as an aide to Trump\u2019s trade adviser Peter Navarro from February 2019 to January 2021, had moved to have the case dismissed, but the judge hearing it denied his request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In remarks last year, Ziegler called the lawsuit \u201ccompletely frivolous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The judge mandated in September that Ziegler reimburse Biden\u2019s legal fees, which came to about $18,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
