President Joe Biden's eldest son Hunter Biden had help from a big-time Hollywood lawyer to pay off $2 million in overdue taxes, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.
Wealthy entertainment attorney Kevin Morris — who once negotiated a reported $550 million landmark licensing deal for the creators of the hit animated show "South Park" — has been financially supporting Biden, according to the Times.
Morris loaned Hunter Biden more than $2 million, which the president's son used to support his family and pay back delinquent taxes amid a federal investigation into Hunter Biden's tax affairs, the newspaper reported, citing four anonymous people familiar with the matter.
According to the Times, Morris has also acted as somewhat of a mentor to Hunter Biden, advising him as he dealt with a paternity and child support lawsuit and scrutiny from the right.
The Hollywood lawyer and the White House declined requests for comment by the Times, which noted that attempts to reach Hunter Biden through his lawyer were unsuccessful.
Hunter Biden's finances have been the target of criticism and calls for investigations by congressional Republican lawmakers, who have vowed to probe the president's son's business dealings if they regain the majority in the 2022 midterms.
