Following his unconditional pardon from President Biden, Hunter Biden is now facing allegations of owing over $300,000 in unpaid rent to former landlords.Shaun Maguire, a partner at the venture capital firm Sequoia, reacted to news of the pardon on social media, claiming that the president\u2019s son has accumulated substantial unpaid rent debts amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what happens to the $300k+ in back pay rent that Hunter Biden owes my family from 2019-2020? Is that pardoned now? Thanks Joe,\u201d Maguire wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, President Biden issued a \u201cfull and unconditional pardon\u201d for his son Hunter Biden, covering any federal crimes committed or potentially committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. Hunter Biden has faced federal charges related to tax violations and allegations of providing false information about his substance abuse issues on a firearm background check form. The move marks a shift from President Biden\u2019s earlier statements that he would not pardon his son<\/p>\n
\u201cHunter was our tenant in Venice, CA. Didn\u2019t pay rent for over a year. Tried to pay w\/ art made from his own feces. Absolute s\u2013 bag,\u201d Maguire wrote, adding in a follow-up post that the rent was $25,000 a month for the house, which is located on the canals in the city, Fox Business\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n
He also said that Hunter \u201cchanged the locks and used secret service to enforce. We had no access to the property.\u201d<\/p>\n
When a social media user asked if Maguire and his family had tried to evict Hunter Biden over the unpaid rent, Maguire responded by saying that the Bidens are \u201ckind of a scary family to go after.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maguire\u2019s allegations of unpaid rent would be a civil matter and are not covered by a presidential pardon, which applies exclusively to federal crimes. Maguire\u2019s claim follows a previous allegation that Hunter Biden failed to pay a landlord tens of thousands of dollars in rent.<\/p>\n
Last year,\u00a0DailyMail.com<\/em>\u00a0reported, citing sources familiar with the situation, that Hunter Biden owed Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman $80,000 in back rent\u2014equivalent to about three months\u2019 rent for a $25,000-a-month house in Venice.<\/p>\n A federal judge has officially ended Hunter Biden\u2019s tax case after Joe Biden pardoned his son, but not before\u00a0harshly criticizing\u00a0the president\u2019s announcement about the clemency as misleading.<\/p>\n In a five-page\u00a0order, U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi of the Central District of California, a Trump appointee, said that \u201crepresentations contained\u201d in the president\u2019s news release about the pardon \u201cstand in tension with the case record.\u201d<\/p>\n The judge also said he didn\u2019t agree with the president\u2019s statement because it was hurtful to many public officials. He said that the pardon itself covered hours of unacceptable behavior in the future without permission.<\/p>\n \u201cThe President asserts that Mr. Biden \u2018was treated differently\u2019 from others \u2018who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions,\u2019 implying that Mr. Biden was among those individuals who untimely paid taxes due to addiction,\u201d Scarsi wrote. \u201cBut he is not.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that also Joe Biden\u2019s claim that his son was \u201csingled out\u201d and \u201ctreated differently\u201d made it sound like many people in the legal system, including Scarsi and the president\u2019s own DOJ workers, did something wrong.<\/p>\n \u201cTwo federal judges expressly rejected Mr. Biden\u2019s arguments that the Government prosecuted Mr. Biden because of his familial relation to the President,\u201d Scarsi wrote. \u201cAnd the President\u2019s own Attorney General and Department of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charges. In the President\u2019s estimation, this legion of federal civil servants, the undersigned included, are unreasonable people.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, Scarsi said that it wasn\u2019t his job to say whether or not Joe Biden\u2019s pardon was legal, but the fact that the president signed it on December 1 and included action \u201cthrough\u201d that same day meant that the president was breaking the Constitution by letting Hunter Biden get away with future crimes.<\/p>\n KENNEDY DROPS FINAL FILE ON OMAR \u2014 ROOM GOES SILENT. WHAT HE SAID NEXT SHOOK THE CHAMBER<\/p>\n \u00a0No one expected him to go that far. During what was meant to be a routine session on Capitol Hill, Senator John Kennedy took the floor \u2014 and within minutes, the temperature in the chamber changed.<\/p>\n File by file, fact by fact, he began dismantling the public image of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar \u2014 exposing, as he put it, \u201cthe curated myth built on selective silence.\u201d Lawmakers leaned forward. Cameras zoomed in.<\/p>\n And still, he kept going. But the room froze when he reached for one final folder \u2014 a file aides say was not part of the prepared remarks. What was inside, no one could have predicted.<\/p>\n And when Kennedy read its contents aloud, even his opponents didn\u2019t interrupt. Was it career-ending? Or truth long overdue? A political ambush \u2014 or a long-buried accountability finally rising to the surface? Either way, the air in the room shifted. And so did the stakes. \u00a0Full video, transcript & explosive last-page details<\/p>\n I\u043fside a room packed with power a\u043fd te\u043fsio\u043f, a si\u043fgle spotlight glared dow\u043f o\u043f the heari\u043fg table where Se\u043fator Joh\u043f Ke\u043f\u043fedy stood \u2014 calm, deliberate, b\u03c5t every word he spoke c\u03c5t thro\u03c5gh the air like a blade.<\/p>\n The heari\u043fg had bee\u043f expected to pass \u03c5\u043feve\u043ftf\u03c5lly.

Omar\u2019s a\u043fswers came smoothly at first \u2014 the\u043f faltered, the\u043f ta\u043fgled \u03c5po\u043f themselves.<\/p>\n
Each pa\u03c5se, each gla\u043fce, seemed to sig\u043fal a\u043f \u03c5\u043fspoke\u043f tr\u03c5th: somethi\u043fg explosive was b\u03c5ildi\u043fg be\u043feath the calm.<\/p>\n
