WASHINGTON -- The law firm that once defended Hunter Biden against federal gun and tax indictments wants to see the pardoned former first son's correspondence with friends or Democratic Party donors as part of a breach of contract case meant to recoup unpaid legal debts.
Winston & Strawn attorneys argued in a Monday court filing that the Biden scion had "engaged in substantial efforts on his own to try to get third parties, friends, and donors to cover his legal fees," which by Hunter's own admission amount to between $15 million and $17 million.
The firm has yet to see any evidence of those communications -- despite repeated requests and one of their own attorneys, Abbe Lowell, defending Hunter during the tax and gun cases in which he dodged prison time due to his dad's mercy.
Lowell "testified" that outreach for help with the debts did occur, Winston & Strawn's filing in Washington, DC, civil court stated.
The document also cited a passage from the book "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America" that read: "Hunter found out the Democratic National Committee was paying President Biden's legal fees arising from the classified documents investigation."
The younger Biden then "asked why the DNC could not pay his legal expenses too," according to authors Josh Dawsey, Isaac Arnsdorf and Tyler Pager.
The Monday filing clarified that those expenses included payments to Winston & Strawn.
At the time, Democratic Party bosses reportedly scoffed at Hunter's request. A DNC official confirmed to The Post Wednesday that they never paid any of the then-first son's legal bills.
It's unclear exactly how much the younger Biden still owes the firm, though the suit states the amount as exceeding $50,000.
In a Nov. 6, 2025, episode of the "Wide Awake Podcast," Hunter said he was "$17 million in debt ... as it relates to my legal fees."
On a Dec. 22 episode of the "Shawn Ryan Show", he said "Litigation sucks. I've been tied up in criminal and civil and in courts and got ... 14, 15 million dollars in debt."
Hunter Biden's new defense attorney, Barry Coburn, admitted in filings earlier this month: "Neither we nor our client know the ultimate amount owed."
"Our client is impecunious. We have not engaged a billing consultant or forensic accountant to review the bills, just as we have not engaged an e-discovery vendor. We cannot afford it," Coburn also said.
The 56-year-old Hunter Biden also now "lives abroad" -- apparently with his South African-born wife Melissa Cohen and son Beau Biden Jr. -- and is unable to even "pay his current lawyers," Coburn noted.
Still, Hunter has been on the media circuit, agreeing to a tri-city tour in California, Arizona and New Mexico later this month with the YouTuber Andrew Callaghan and sitting for other interviews.
Callaghan's "Channel 5" show will be hosting a "Carnival Tour" and Hunter has agreed to participate in "a cage match" against President Trump's sons -- if Eric and Don Jr. are willing.
"I'd do it -- 100% in -- if he can pull it off. And if he can't, I'm still coming," Hunter said of the road show.
"He asked me to come out on the 'Channel 5' Carnival Tour at the end of the month," Hunter said of Callaghan in an X post. "I think he's trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr."
The appearances come as Hunter's net worth has sharply decreased in the year-plus since his father left office, with other court papers pointing to diminished book sales of his 2021 memoir "Beautiful Things" and lower price listings for his abstract paintings.
Coburn declined to comment. Winston & Strawn attorneys did not respond to requests for comment.
