President Joe Biden’s troubled son Hunter escaped jail time on federal tax and firearm charges Tuesday — and that wasn’t the only court settlement of the week.
Hunter quietly settled his child support fight with his estranged daughter’s mother in Arkansas, agreeing to a reported $5,000-a-month payment to the former stripper.
Lunden Roberts, 32, is the mother of Hunter’s 4-year-old daughter. Biden’s son denied parentage until a 2019 DNA test confirmed he was the father. Roberts was reportedly asking for $20,000 per month.
Roberts lawyer confirmed to The New York Post that a deal had been reached but said the final details of the settlement were still being worked out. He would not confirm the financial details.
“The case is sealed, and these are financial terms that should never be disclosed,” lawyer Clint Lancaster told the Post.
“Lunden is a great mom” and her daughter will be just fine, Lancaster told the Post. “The kid has lots of love on the maternal side of the family in Batesville. They are a very, very close family. They adore her and are always going to support her.”
The Biden family has never acknowledged Hunter’s estranged daughter, even after his parentage was confirmed.
“I think everybody is disappointed that there’s not more contact [with the Biden family],” Lancaster told the Post.
“It’s not lost on anybody that Jill Biden wrote a children’s book and [dedicated it] to her grandchildren,” the lawyer said. “She could have kept it at that, but she named every child except Navy.
“They hung stockings for the dog at Christmas but not for Navy. That is one of the saddest things.”
