An Arkansas judge let loose on Hunter Biden after he argued on Tuesday night that he needed a nine-month delay in his child support case partly because of coronavirus fears.
Biden’s baby mama, 28 year-old former stripper Lunden Alexis Roberts, has been trying to take him to court to obtain child support for a baby confirmed to be his in a DNA test taken at the end of 2019. On Tuesday night, Biden’s legal team argued that he could not make the trip from his Los Angeles home to Arkansas partly because of coronavirus and partly because his wife is due to give birth in the coming weeks.

County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer, however, was not having any of it. She said that Biden has been “given considerable leniency regarding continuances and delay,” adding that it was unreasonable for him to use his wife’s pregnancy as an excuse, according to Fox News.

The judge explained that the pregnancy was “well known to all when the date of March 13, 2020 for a hearing in Arkansas was agreed upon by the defense and set by the Court.” She added that media scrutiny is also not a good excuse because it “will continue” given the fact that Biden’s father is running for president.

As for the coronavirus excuse, Meyer said that “no health threat specific to the defendant has been identified” and added that “life and work will and should continue in our communities and our courts.”
She ended her scathing rebuke of Biden by saying that “the nine month continuance requested is excessive.”
“The best interest of the child that is at the center of this matter is served by a swift and timely adjudication of the questions of facts and law relevant to the support issue which is the crux of this case,” Meyer wrote. “The defendant’s attempts to delay this case are mounting such that one begins to see a pattern of delay.”
“The defendant’s deposition on March 11-12, 2020 shall not be continued or delayed,” she concluded. “The proposed further delay in the defendant’s deposition, the discovery disagreements, the requests for continuance, and the duplicitous requests for protective orders all seem to point to a pattern of difficulty in this matter which only serves to underline the serious need for a hearing in this matter.”
Hours later, in a surprising twist, Roberts’ lawyer Clinton Lancaster informed Meyer that an agreement had been reached.
“Late last night, after the Court entered the order, we reached a global, final settlement of all issues,” Lancaster wrote the judge, adding that he could send the agreed upon order to her immediately.

If Meyer does approve the order, it would mean that Biden would not need to turn over his financial information to the court. This will come as a blow to Republicans who were hoping his financial disclosures would give more insight to his overseas business dealings which have come under scrutiny in the past year.
It remains to be seen if Meyer will approve the order.

Regardless of the outcome of her decision, we’re glad to see that the judge criticized Biden shirking his paternal responsibilities. From the very start of this case, he has acted as if he is above the law and the rules therefore do not apply to him. Clearly, Judge Meyer was not going to tolerate that type of behavior in her courtroom, even from a Biden.

Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner has sold his stake in a company investing in Opportunity Zone projects offering tax breaks he had pushed for in Washington. Kushner’s holding in the private Cadre was worth between $25 million and $50 million, according to a financial disclosure report he filed with federal ethics officials last year. And yet, for several years running, Mr. Kushner — Trump’s son-in-law and a senior White House adviser — appears to have paid almost no federal income taxes, according to confidential financial documents reviewed by The New York Times.
That’s a far bigger scandal than anything that Hunter Biden ever did.
Guess grandpa Biden has learned that the Judge will not bend to their desired outcome and has therefore decided that it was time to buy Ms Roberts off. That is essentially what has happened in this matter. If that had really wanted to keep all of this quiet, they would have done what is right to begin with!!! Pay child support!!
This agreement is not going to put the Biden/Burmisa issue to bed, period. It’s just going to take a little bit longer. Let’s not forget that there are investigations and lawsuits in the Ukraine that are pending against grandpa Biden as well as Hunter.
I for one, will be continuing to watch this unfold.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP
MAGA 2020
Are you trying to tell me the C19 scare was created just so Biden wouldn’t have to go to court? After what the dNC cooked up to impeach President Trump and some of the inane attacks on the President over the Virus, I could believe it.
Or the judge could get vindictive and deny the settlement as inadequate. That would really make him go ballistic.
If he had any brains or hired lawyers that did he could have done this months ago and drawn a lot less attention to himself and his father. An old crime saying “make ’em an offer they can’t refuse”
So, the Biden Crime Family has a deadbeat dad trying to put his offspring on the public dollar. Someone has to take care of them until they are old enough to solicit bribes for themselves.
So WHAT HAPPENED yesterday?????
Hopefully the Judge will not except the agreement and force Biden to give his financial records up. It would be the best outcome.
Judge better watch her back she might end up arkanside with two bullets in her back and a suiside note next to the body
Graham is all talk. How long has he been saying he was going to do something, and to date, has done nothing!!!!!!
If Senator Graham will step up to the plate the Secret Agreement will not provide the Bidden’s much comfort. But if horses could fly we would probably not have airplanes…
Can we call Joe Grandpa or has he forgotten everything by now?
Ya gotta love it like father like son snakes of a feather slither together
if this post was deleted by whoever, it just goes to show that you are as crooked as they are.
He could bet all his money on daddy winning the election, lose it all and then only have to pay what he could afford being broke.
Strategy: Delay and obfuscate until after the election and hope the outcome favors him. Period.
He does not want his financial records scrutinized, nor do the dem cartel, thus, he has suddenly reached an agreement. I feel so sorry for the child involved, neither parent is fit.
Buys a multi-million-dollar HOLLYWOOD HILLS home, and still says he’s broke.
Come ON!
Democrats. Hehe. Guy makes millions and he says hes broke.
Which of Joe’s nieces got away with shop-lifting in NYC?
Makes you wonder where Hunter learned how to avoid the law as well as other members of his family (“Former Vice President Joe Biden’s younger brother, James, is being accused of defrauding a Tennessee rural healthcare company.”) Peter Schweizer has a new book, “Profiles In Corruption,” where he does a more in-depth look at the Biden Crime Family involving Senator Joe Biden, son Hunter, brothers Frank and James Biden, and daughter Ashley and her husband Howard Krein. Again, this, too, is just the tip of the iceberg.
you screw around, then you pay, in long run
Down vote for “What do you expect from a former stripper.” Would you say the same for a “fast-food” worker or a waitress? How one earns a living doing work that is legal should not be demeaned!
What do you expect from a former stripper. Money is everything and the kid makes the whole deal noble. All parties are happy and all can continue to enjoy their lives unchanged with nary a care in the world.
It’s obvious the democrats interceded and made Hunter give his baby mama what she wanted so the republicans would not have easy access to the financial information his daddy set up for him in Ukraine. They’ll get it other ways, I hope. Corruption generating wealth of this level should get a person life in prison, not a life of opulence on the taxpayers back.
WHACK! Right across the face!
