House Republicans are raising concerns over the relationship between Hunter Biden and attorney Kevin Morris, particularly related to a nearly $5 million loan Morris provided to Hunter Biden.
The loan has prompted ethical and legal questions, as Morris, as Hunter Biden’s attorney, may be prohibited from lending or giving money to his clients under California bar rules.
There are potential tax implications for both Morris and Hunter Biden, and the loan could have implications for campaign laws if it was intended to help Joe Biden’s campaign.
“It seems that this is a clear violation of that ethical rule,” attorney Paul Kamenar said.
Morris’ support of Hunter is yet another case of the “typical wealthy Hollywood elite using their money to advance Democrats and protect Democrats,” political commentator Tom Borelli said.
“He’s a sugar daddy and trying to buy influence given the amount of money he’s forked over,” he said.
There are questions regarding whether the loan may constitute payment to Hunter Biden for allowing Morris to film him for a documentary.
A “lawyer shall not directly or indirectly pay or agree to pay, guarantee, or represent that the lawyer or lawyer’s law firm will pay the personal or business expenses of a prospective or existing client,” State Bar of California Rule 1.8.5(a) reads.
“Shortly after meeting Hunter Biden at a Joe Biden campaign event in 2019, Kevin Morris began paying Hunter Biden’s tax liability to insulate then-presidential candidate Joe Biden from political liability,” James Comer said. “Kevin Morris admitted he has ‘loaned’ the president’s son at least $5 million. These ‘loans’ don’t have to be repaid until after the next presidential election and the ‘loans’ may ultimately be forgiven.”
Comer added that becuase Morris “kept President Biden’s son financially afloat, he’s had access to the Biden White House and has spoken to President Biden.”
