It’s always a tough call when it comes to covering Hunter Biden. Of course, there’s the old rule of leaving the kids out of it, except Biden is a 49-year-old kid who held a really questionable (and profitable) gig in Ukraine. And Joe Biden might not want to talk about that DNA test confirming he’s a grandfather again, and it’s easy to see why if the court proceedings over child support are any indication.

According to the Daily Mail, Biden blew off a child support hearing, his lawyer quit on him, and a judge has demanded to see three years’ worth of tax returns.

Judge wants at least 3 years of Hunter Biden's tax returns… Oh, and his lawyer quit. ?https://t.co/BAzMXuvP2P — M3thods (@M2Madness) December 2, 2019

The Daily Mail reports:

The lawyer representing Hunter Biden in his paternity case abruptly withdrew on Monday while his client blew off the hearing, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Biden, 49, was not in the second-floor courtroom in Batesville, Arkansas, when his attorney former Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel quit. But Lunden Roberts, 28, the woman who claims the son of former Vice-President Joe Biden fathered her child, was seen for the first time since filing her paternity suit, sitting in the front row of the spectators’ gallery wearing three-inch black heels. Biden is said to have met Roberts when she was working as a stripper in a ‘gentlemen’s club’ in Washington D.C. In the hearing, Judge Don McSpadden said he would need at least three years of Biden’s tax returns before he could reach a decision on monetary support for the child, whose sex has not been revealed. Earlier this week, DailyMail.com revealed Biden filed a request to seal all financial records to spare himself public ’embarrassment’ amid claims of ‘significant debts’.

It’s way too late for Biden to spare himself any more public embarrassment. And the “gentlemen’s club” angle fits right in with a recent story from the New York Post that reported Biden was ‘suspected’ of smoking crack in the VIP room of a D.C. strip club.

For those old enough, Hunter Biden is like Billy Carter times a thousand when it comes to embarrassing family members.

And what’s this about “significant debts”? The dude had a no-show job where he made $83,000 a month. Where’d that go? The guy’s fighting over child support in court?

Good thing Hunter is a top notch lawyer!? — bthoma9 ⭐⭐⭐ (@bthoma9) December 2, 2019

Smart of the lawyer to quit. If he had stayed it will only cause that lawyer headaches, stress and difficulties on a unwinnable case. — Nhllax (@nhllax) December 2, 2019

Any man who cannot or will not ADMIT both his #PATERNITY but also his #DUTY to FINANCIALLY Support any #Child of his is both a #Scoundrel & a #Cad! — Scott Brown (@ScottBrownTweet) December 2, 2019

No sympathy for Biden Jr. he knocked up a stripper and is afraid his tax returns will reveal all that income from Ukraine. Nice morals learned from his daddy. Support the kid ya puts — blame it all on my roots (@dtayloresq) December 2, 2019

What a disgrace, you have billions of dollars, pay for your child! This is a new level of malarkey… even being filthy disgustingly rich, refusing to pay child support due to his own bad choices, this baby is innocent of your actions. More Bidens malarkey — @I_Aku_shogun_of_sorrow (@realktamayo) December 2, 2019

And she worked at the strip club?? She may have won the lottery ??????? pic.twitter.com/QH7lPMSHjj — PrayIdaho (@PrayIdaho) December 2, 2019

As a redneck American from a border state to Arkansas, I can infer from her father’s body language that he’s ready to beat the fecal matter clean out of Hunter. — Ian MacNeal (@Ian_MacNeal) December 2, 2019

Not the only thing he blows off Damn shame this poor child caught in the middle of this will grow up to what is being said today publicly…smh, heart goes out to the child stuck in this hell. — SavedbyGrace (@GrammaNumnums) December 2, 2019

Of all the times in Hunter’s life to knock up a stripper. This is drug addict luck. Of which there is none. Everything happens for a reason. — Todd Somers (@ToddSomers2) December 2, 2019

Rehab by the end of the week, with the obligatory, "it's a personal matter," from the campaign and the press will be silent about it after that. https://t.co/X2bGSguENA — MerryChristmasFrau (@bayareahausfrau) December 2, 2019

And Joe Biden thought it was “classy” of a reporter to ask about his new grandchild. Hunter doesn’t sound too classy himself.
