Hunter Biden fought to exclude testimony about his laptop from his child support dispute, saying it was "not relevant" because the device was "abandoned sometime in 2019" and because the financial records on it are outdated, according to a court motion unsealed this week.
In the April 20 filing, Biden’s high-priced legal team doesn't dispute the authenticity of the records on the laptop, though it continues to play coy about whether the laptop is his. His lawyers said the motion was "not an acknowledgment of ownership or abandonment" of the device.
"Evidence of Defendant's income from three years ago and beyond would not tend to prove his income today," said Biden's lawyers. "Thus, the Court should exclude any expert testimony related to the laptop as not relevant."
It's the latest legal hedging from Biden, who has refused to directly admit ownership of the laptop even as his lawyers have acknowledged it contains his personal data.
