Flush with a $1.7 million payout in his defamation suit against a flaky former Trump donor, Hunter Biden is on a publicity blitz. He appears on random podcasts, tweets obsessively on X, took to the stage for a live performance in Phoenix and launched a new Substack “Where’s Hunter,” on which he posts long screeds about himself.
It is a little like reading his laptop — without the homemade porn.
The lies are the same, but this new Hunter sounds nothing like the whiny, malicious Hunter who revealed himself in seven years of frantic, crack-inspired musings on his infamous laptop.
The new Hunter is polished, calculated and utterly inauthentic. He is a skillfully manufactured product, and his sudden explosion into the media landscape is anything but organic.
It seems more like a sophisticated publicity rollout by professional PR operatives (which he recently admitted to hiring in an interview with Wired) to promote the upcoming documentary Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris madeduring the years he was bankrolling the disgraced former first son.
The filmmaker Morris hired to follow Hunter around, Robb Bindler of “Hands on a Hardbody” fame, says the project is nearing release, according to super-sleuth Hunter nemesis Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump adviser-turned-private eye and founder of nonprofit Marco Polo.
‘Lies every time’
Bindler’s website confirms he is “completing a verite feature documentary featuring Hunter Biden.”
The timing fits and, as Ziegler says, “Hunter lies every time he opens his mouth.” Like father, like son.
His first tweet in a decade on May 19 was a lie.
“I’m Hunter Biden,” he tweeted. “You’ve never actually heard from me.”
Au contraire. He wrote a whole book about himself in 2021.
Democrats are thrilled that another member of the grifting Biden family is grabbing the spotlight just when they are trying to get everyone to forget their disastrous 2024 defeat, not to mention Joe’s catastrophic presidency.
Just as he tried to do with his 2021 memoir “Beautiful Things,” Hunter is leaning into his crack addiction and associated debauchery to try to divert attention from the lucrative international influence peddling operation he and his uncle Jim Biden ran during Joe’s vice presidency, with Joe’s involvement to close multimillion dollar deals and open doors.
It didn’t work then and is unlikely to work now, even with Morris’ creative magic. Dubbed Hunter’s “sugar brother” by Hunter’s ex-partners, because of the millions of dollars he spent paying off Hunter’s tax debts, paying his legal fees and funding his lavish Malibu lifestyle in $30,000 rentals, Morris closed his wallet before Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell was fully paid.
Lowell has since filed suit against Hunter for unpaid fees, “over $50,000” but believed to be much more. Hunter is also being sued by his “baby mama” Lunden Roberts over unpaid child support paymentsfor their 7-year-old daughter Navy, who he has refused to meet and who his parents still refuse to acknowledge, apart from a cursory statement they were shamed into releasing after The New York Times noted the hypocrisy of their professed family values.
Hunter’s current media blitz doubles down on Morris’ fictional hypothesis that Hunter’s laptop does not exist. The pair have concocted an elaborately improbable tale in which Rudy Giuliani — or maybe it’s the Russians, or both — stole Hunter’s digital database and created “mixed tapes” which they then passed off as Hunter’s laptop, with the help of Trump ally Roger Stone and Hunter’s former shrink Keith Ablow.
Legal defeats
The reason none of their lies stand up to scrutiny is that too many people know the truth and have told it in court, in whistleblower testimony, in hard-won prosecutions and in a number of forensically detailed books, which are the antidote to Hunter’s feeble attempt to rewrite history.
There is also an upcoming documentary — “Shielded By Power” — backed by watchdog group Empower Oversight, which helped IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley and Joe Zieglerget the truth out about Hunter’s crimes and the Biden DOJ cover-up. Shapley and Ziegler’s 2023 book “The Whistleblowers vs. The Big Guy: Two Special Agents, the Biden Crime Family, and a Corrupt Bureaucracy” is another fact-filled rebuke to Hunter’s continuing lies.
For starters, Hunter’s MacBook was used in a Delaware court — held aloft by prosecutors and shown to the jury that convicted him on gun charges. His laptop was seized by the FBI in December 2019 from John Paul Mac Isaac’s laptop repair shop in Delaware, where Hunter had abandoned it in April, a few days before his father announced his 2020 presidential run.
FBI forensic analysts deemed the device belonged to Hunter, had not been altered in any way and was fit to be used in a court of law, which it was.
Further, IRS investigators Shapley and Ziegler geolocated Hunter via his iPhone to a cigar bar around the corner from Mac Isaac’s repair store the night he dropped off his laptop.
Mac Isaac, a patriot who lost his business, has catalogued exactly what happened, with receipts, in his 2022 book “American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth.”
Hunter is about to publish a new book, which he told Wired he is starting to release this month in serial form on Substack.
“It’s about the plot against me, the conspiracy that was led by figures like Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon . . . assembling all of my digital life through phones and laptops and iCloud hacks.”
Internet sleuths ran Hunter’s Substack through an AI detector and found it was “100 percent AI.” Whether that’s true or it’s simply a PR agency polishing his ravings, it is about as authentic as his teeth.

All his Morris-funded, Lowell-led lawsuits to try to prove his conspiracy theory have failed, against Giuliani in 2023, and against Garrett Ziegler last year.
His $1.7 million defamation against Patrick Byrne’s reckless gossip last week was his only legal success, led by Dick Harpootlian, an old crony of his dad’s whose wife was appointed ambassador to Slovenia by Joe in 2021.
Ziegler is still taking legal action to recover his legal fees from Hunter and has recovered $67,000 from Morris.
‘459 violations’
Ziegler’s forensic 644-page report on Hunter’s laptop is a definitive marker for history cataloguing what he says are “459 violations of state and federal laws and regulations, amongst himself and his business partners and family.”
Ziegler says Hunter is using “a sophistry tactic that if people believe he’s being candid about his alcohol and drug addictions, therefore, he’s being candid about his business dealings.
“He’s banking on people not reading our book, or your book [‘Laptop From Hell’].”
Perhaps Hunter is a reformed character, as he now claims, only interested in helping others beat addiction.
Perhaps he really does see himself following in his father’s footsteps as a politician, maybe president, as his former shrink Ablow believes, and as he once confided to his ex-wife Kathleen is his aspiration.
“I would be so honored to be of service in that way,” he told Wired magazine last month in one of the many hagiographic media profiles that have accompanied his reinvention. The question was about working in a future Gavin Newsom presidential administration, maybe as VP. And pigs might fly.
The post Hunter Biden is on a shameless media blitz to promote an upcoming doc — and attempts to rewrite history appeared first on New York Post.
