For years, conservatives have called it exactly what it is: The Biden family ran an influence-peddling operation, and former President Joe Biden (and even then-Senator Joe Biden) was the product they were selling. The Biden White House denied it. The media buried it. But the truth was accidentally revealed by none other than first son and Biden family black sheep Hunter Biden.
The evidence has piled up for years. There are text messages, business records, and testimony from Hunter's own former associates all pointing to the same blatantly obvious conclusion: Joe talked business with his son and Hunter's partners far more than the family or the press ever admitted.
Throughout his presidency, Joe and his White House insisted, without hedging, that it never happened, and that everything the Bidens did was above board. They never took bribes. The legacy media mostly took their word for it, even as evidence mounted that contradicted the denials at every turn. We know that Hunter's foreign business dealings brought millions of dollars to the Biden family, funneled through a maze of shell corporations built specifically to make the money impossible to trace. The mainstream media ignored it all. House Republicans threatened impeachment, and sadly, nothing came of it.

So, it should come as no surprise that the Biden Crime Family, which built an empire on selling access to Joe Biden, now has nothing left. Hunter testified under oath in a deposition earlier this year, which was released this week, that he and his family are broke.
"My family doesn't have any money, and it's not their debt anyway," Hunter said in the deposition. "I don't own anything of any value other than… my paintings which I painted myself… I don't even have any other assets at all, stocks, bonds, anything like that, savings accounts."
The deposition, taken in February and released recently by Hunter's new legal team, gets even more specific. "I don't have any assets," he said. "I don't own a car. I don't own a phone."
Joe isn't doing much better. The Wall Street Journal reported in September 2025 that he has struggled more than past presidents to cash in on his time in the White House. A source familiar with his finances says Joe left office roughly $800,000 in debt, with rising property taxes on his $2.7 million Delaware home, and he's had trouble booking paid speaking gigs, given his low popularity. He still collects more than $400,000 a year in government pensions, according to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, so "broke" is a relative term. But compared to what the Bidens pulled in while Joe held office, it's a collapse. They clearly aren’t bringing in the money they used to when they had a product.
That's not a coincidence.
The Biden Crime Family's business model collapsed the moment Joe no longer had any influence for sale.
That also explains why a man who was visibly struggling, physically and mentally, fought so hard to run for a second term: the family had too much riding on continued access to power. Hunter just admitted, under oath, exactly what critics have said for years. The Bidens weren't collecting a salary. They were selling something only Joe could offer, and now that he can't offer it anymore, there's nothing left to profit on.
