After receiving an email from his Wells Fargo private bankers warning him in December 2018 that he had only 44 cents in his account, Hunter Biden, in the midst of a drug and hooker binge, reportedly withdrew $20,000 from his daughter Maisy’s college fund.
What’s more, according to the Daily Mail, the first son still hasn’t paid taxes on it.
In response to his wealth managers, Biden then issued what the outlet called “a jumbled reply” in which he told his advisers to “liquidate what you can.”
“Live you both,” Biden told them, presumably meaning, “Love you both.”
“At the time, Maisy, now 22, was in her final year of high school,” the Daily Mail reports. “She and her two older sisters, along with Joe Biden and First Lady Jill, had tried to stage an intervention just weeks earlier at the President’s Delaware home to get Hunter to go back to rehab.”
Though he promised to go at the time, Biden opted instead for more crack and a hotel room, he admitted in “Beautiful Things,” his 2021 memoir.
“[F]or clarity,” Biden instructed his wealth advisors, “whatever money comes into my account please do not send any money to anyone or anything.”
The direction was in response to Biden’s claim that his “ex” had “access to my accounts” and was using them to pay “bills that are not my responsibility.”
The exchanges detail yet another glimpse into Biden’s chaotic life, courtesy of his now-notorious “laptop from hell.”
As BizPac Review reported, IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley Jr. and Joseph Ziegler testified before Congress that Department of Justice (DOJ) official, Assistant United States Attorney Lesley Wolf, warned they would get into “hot water” if they attempted to interview President Biden’s grandchildren.

“On October 21st, 2021, AUSA Lesley Wolf told us it will get us into hot water if we interview the President’s grandchildren,” Ziegler said. “That was completely abnormal, out of the question. And it’s a part of our normal process that we go and interview people, especially people who are receiving money or receiving payments related to a case like this.”
In another email exchange, Biden told his assistant he would “deal” with his children’s tuition later.
“Hunter’s assistant Katie Dodge plaintively emailed him on December 28 that year that he had University of Pennsylvania tuition bills of $27,945 due (likely for his eldest daughter, Naomi), a $1,700 payment for his Porsche, $4,244.70 for Maisy’s high school Sidwell Friends, her $3,000 paycheck and $1,000 for another employee,” Daily Mail reports. “Hunter tersely told Dodge to pay for the Porsche and his health insurance, but that she would only be getting half her paycheck – and that he would ‘deal with tuitions when time comes.'”
“If you haven’t noticed Katie,” Biden stated, “my business partner is now a prisoner on death row in China.”
The comment was a reference to Chinese government-linked oil giant CEFC chairman Ye Jianming, who, that year, had been arrested in Beijing on corruption charges.
