āWhat are you talking about āIām protectedā?ā a wild-eyed Biden says excitedly into a cellphone in the video footage thatās part of a new documentary-in-progress thatās being made by Hollywood lawyer and writer Kevin Morris, who loaned the first son more than $6.5 million to pay the taxes and for personal expenses.
Morris ā a novelist and producer known for brokering deals related to South Park and The Book of Mormon ā followed Hunter with a film crew between 2021 and 2024 during Joe Bidenās presidency, documenting both his personal and professional life, including his entry into the art world.
The filmmaker also captured footage of the self-taught artistās gallery events in Los Angeles and New York City, as well as scenes outside courthouses where Hunter Biden appeared in connection with tax evasion and firearms-related charges, The Post reported.
Morris even brought his cameras to Serbia, where his crew was accused of interrupting the set of filmmaker Phelim McAleer, who was shooting āMy Son Hunter,ā a film that mocks the Biden family and was distributed by Breitbart in September 2022.
The footage reviewed by The Post is time-stamped June 29, 2023, which is nine days after Bidenās attorneys finalized the plea deal.
āWho am I protected by, Georges? Who am I protected by?ā Hunter shouts into his cellphone, seemingly from his art studio in Malibu.
In the video clip, Biden is seen speaking with his former art dealer, Georges Berges, from New York City.
The footage also shows Berges thoughtfully examining a new piece created by Biden. In the clip, Biden is seen with a paintbrush between his lips while holding his toddler son, Beau, on his hip.
The Post adds:
After contemplating the artwork for a moment, Berges politely asks, āYouāre still working on this?ā in a courtyard of what appears to be Bidenās home, where canvases are leaned up against walls and spread on the floor. āI think itās missing something.ā
The footage then cuts to various press clips of the controversy surrounding the sale of Hunterās work while his father was president of the United States. One clip features Republican lawmakers urging then-Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate Bidenās art sales.
āThereās something special about his art,ā Berges says in the documentary. āI think itās my job to tell that story.ā
In December 2024, a month after then-President-elect Donald Trump defeated then-Vice President Kamala Harris, the co-hosts of Fox Newsās āThe Fiveā spent a segment of the program examining the implications of and motivations behind President Bidenās pardon of Hunter, which was widely panned on both sides of the political aisle.
In particular, then co-host Jeanine Pirro said that it became clear the president has known all along about his sonās questionable business practices that congressional investigators have said border on the illegal and definitely involved Joe Biden and other members of his family.
The ex-presidentās pardon was not simply for the gun and tax charges for which Hunter was convicted and faced sentencing this month, but covered an 11-year span dating back to 2014.
At the time, Joe Biden was vice president and had been placed in charge of handling U.S.-Ukraine relations by President Barack Obama at a time when the country was in turmoil, while Hunter Biden began working for a Ukrainian energy firm, making millions despite not having any experience in the industry.
āAnd some of those years encompasses the years that David Weiss, is the so-called special counsel, I think he is, allowed the statute of limitations to run in the highest earning years that Hunter Biden had, and the years it certainly involved his father and his ābusinessā dealings,ā Pirro said.
