Hunter Biden has just asked a federal judge to shut down one of the most talked-about lawsuits of the year—because he says he can’t afford to keep fighting it.
In a surprising legal move on Wednesday, President Biden’s son filed to dismiss his case against a former aide to Donald Trump. The lawsuit centered around the leak of private information allegedly taken from a laptop believed to be his.
What’s the reason for the sudden pullback? Hunter says he’s broke.
“Financial limitations have made it impossible to continue,” court documents reveal.
The laptop, long at the center of political firestorms and conspiracy theories, was used to publicly release emails, photos, and personal data—raising ethical and legal questions about privacy, politics, and power.
Hunter’s lawsuit had accused the Trump ally of illegally accessing and spreading private content for political gain. But now, the case won’t move forward—at least not for now.
Critics say this is a retreat under pressure. Supporters claim it’s a realistic response to overwhelming legal costs.
🔍 So the laptop saga continues… but without Hunter in court.
What do you think—was this a strategic move or a financial surrender?
