Hunter Biden’s lawyers are accusing the woman he impregnated of trying to “embarrass” him as part of the increasingly nasty paternity lawsuit.
Hunter Biden has explained that Lunden Roberts’s requests will reveal his business activities and make his business doings “open to the world’s media.”
Biden has been under a close eye amid Burisma corruption accusations and is supposedly fuming about having to give a deposition on the night before Christmas Eve, according to new court papers obtained by the outlet show.
Hunter’s lawyers push that ideology and noted that the scheduled December 23 interview could “unreasonably annoy, embarrass or oppress” the 49-year-old and his family.
The development comes after Lunden Roberts, the 28-year-old stripper with whom Hunter Biden had extramarital relations with, is demanding child support dor her 16-month-old baby, who Hunter Biden fathers.
Hunter was confirmed to be the father after DNA results were revealed in court.
Roberts filed the paternity lawsuit back in May, alleging that she first met Biden in Washington D.C. at the strip club where she worked.

Earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported that Roberts has requested information about how much Biden was paid as a board member of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company at the center of allegations of corruption against him and his father. Several reports indicate Hunter was paid up to $83,000 a month by the firm despite having no expertise in the energy space. Roberts also requested that Biden confirm whether he or an “entity owned, controlled or under your direction or supervision” received funds from a Chinese national or entity for investment purposes, court documents reportedly show.
Meanwhile, a judge in Independence County, Arkansas, has criticized both Biden and Roberts for not being transparent about their financial situations and asked for an affidavit of financial means from both parties.
“I do not want this drug out nor do I want to have to drag out the monies these individuals may have received in any form or fashion,” wrote Judge Don McSpadden. “It concerns me that the only information supplied to the court so far concerning employment of either party has been unemployment or under employment.”
Meanwhile, the investigation into Hunter Biden and his suspicious employment with Burisma Holdings is expanding.
Republican Senators have requested interviews and multiple records from former officials in the Obama administration.
Senators Chuck Grassley, Lindsey Graham, and Ron Johnson announced the update on Wednesday, as the House Democrats were preparing to impeach President Trump for the malfeasance of Hunter Biden’s overseas work.
The Senators chair the Senate Homeland Security, Finance, and Judiciary Committees, and are planning to look into whether Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian energy conglomerate benefitted from access to the Obama administration, exclusively.

As part of the investigation, the senators now plan to interview former top aides to former Vice President Joe Biden and ex-Secretary of State John Kerry. Included on the list are former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, former international energy affairs envoy Amos Hochstein, ex-Under Secretary of State Catherine Novelli, former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, and one-time Kerry chief of staff David Wade.
Documents revealed through a Freedom of Information Act request in November showed that officials like Blinken, Hochstein, and Novelli met with Burisma lobbyists in 2015 and 2016. The meetings were arranged after the lobbyists name-checked Hunter Biden when reaching out to the Obama-era officials.
Graham, in particular, has cited the timing of those meetings and the pressure campaign that followed — in which Joe Biden demanded Ukraine fire its top prosecutor, who at the time was looking into Burisma for corruption — as an impetus for further investigation.
