An Arkansas judge has ordered Hunter Biden to attend a court hearing after violating court orders that demanded he hand over various financial documents.
Biden Must Appear In Court On January 29th
Judge Holly Meyer, of Indepence County Circuit Court in Arkansas, granted and signed an “Order to Appear and Show Cause” against Hunter Biden. The motion was filed by Clinton and Jennifer Lancaster, the attorneys for Lunden Alexis Roberts. Roberts is the mother of Biden’s child and is currently engaged in a paternity battle with him. The order compels Biden to turn up to a court hearing on January 29th. He will need to explain why he has refused to hand over documents relating to his finances in the past five years. Biden did not comply with a January 16 deadline to hand over the documents.
Roberts, whose child was declared as Biden’s at the start of the month by a judge after DNA tests confirmed he was the father, had previously claimed she was paid by Biden’s company from May to November 2018. In court filings, Roberts said she received “pay stubs for money received from the defendant [Biden] when she was employed by him and his company” but “never received a tax document for these payments.” She also claimed her health insurance was paid for her at one point via this arrangement.

Not Related to Impeachment
Roberts and her lawyers are not the only people to have raised questions about Hunter Biden’s finances. Republicans in Congress have also brought up issues with his past business dealings with the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma. President Trump is being impeached by the Democrats right now for asking those exact same questions.
Clinton Lancaster confirmed to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the court motion had nothing to do with the ongoing impeachment trial of President Trump.
“My understanding is impeachment proceedings are ongoing,” he said. “I have not received any subpoena. I don’t believe we have any stake in the impeachment proceedings. We don’t have any stake in it whatsoever. We need his income so we can determine child support.”

Hunter Biden’s flippant dealings with the court system in this country really show his true character. By refusing to hand over documents relating to his finances, it makes you wonder exactly why he wants to stop a judge looking through his transaction history!
