Embattled former first son Hunter Biden has reportedly moved out of the United States as legal and financial pressures continue to mount — just a year after his father left office in 2025.
Biden’s attorney, Barry Coburn, revealed the development in an April 6 court filing tied to a civil lawsuit over unpaid legal fees.
“Mr. Biden lives abroad,” the filing states. “He cannot pay his current lawyers.”
It remains unclear where Biden is currently residing. However, the 56-year-old suggested late last year that he had been spending time in Cape Town, South Africa, where his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, is originally from.
“When all of the political and personal stuff came to an end in the last six months, I had always promised that we would spend some time over here,” Biden said during a November appearance on the “Wide Awake Podcast,” based in South Africa. “We’re trying to be between Cape Town and the States, go back and forth.”
“I’ve fallen madly in love with Cape Town,” he added. “You guys do not know how good you have it here. It’s the most beautiful city in the world.”
Despite reports that he is now living abroad, Biden was recently seen in the United States. Photos shared on Instagram last week by his sister, Ashley Biden, showed him with his family — including former President Joe Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden — over Easter weekend in Santa Ynez, California.
The court filing outlining Biden’s living situation was submitted in Washington, D.C., by the law firm Winston & Strawn LLP, which previously represented him in several high-profile criminal cases. Those cases included a felony gun trial in Delaware and a federal tax prosecution in California.
According to the filing, Biden has failed to pay a “substantial portion” of his legal fees and is facing serious financial strain. His attorneys say he lacks the resources to hire specialized professionals to assist with the lawsuit and has instead resorted to manually searching his own emails for relevant documents.
Biden has publicly acknowledged the scale of his financial troubles. During the same podcast appearance, he said he is dealing with “$17 million in debt … as it relates to my legal fees.”
His legal and financial challenges follow a series of convictions in 2024. That summer, Biden was found guilty of multiple offenses related to the illegal purchase of a firearm in 2018, after prosecutors proved he lied on a federal form about his drug use during a period when he was struggling with crack cocaine addiction.
He also pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges, including three felonies, stemming from a scheme to evade $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019.
In December 2024, he was ultimately pardoned by his father, wiping out all federal charges.
