Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, claims the $3 million Malibu home he rented with his family is now "unlivable" following the California wildfires, despite visual evidence suggesting the house remains intact. This claim is part of a motion filed in federal court to dismiss a lawsuit he initiated against Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump White House aide. Hunter attributes his inability to continue the lawsuit to significant financial difficulties, exacerbated by the wildfires, including dwindling art sales and his memoir's poor performance. He alleges the fire rendered the property "unlivable for an extended period," causing relocation issues and financial strain. The court filing details his financial struggles, stating he is "millions of dollars" in debt. While the house appears undamaged in current photos, Hunter claims the fire caused unspecified damage. He also mentions a supposed incident involving a group of men in MAGA hats, though this claim is disputed by an archival review showing no such event was reported. Hunter's past rental history includes a Venice Beach property where he allegedly left the premises in disarray and failed to pay rent. The article also highlights President Biden's initial uncertainty about the fate of his son's home during the wildfires.
