President Joe Biden’s son spent millions of dollars on items such as adult entertainment and clothing, according to newly disclosed financial information in a court filing.

Hunter Biden, 53, withdrew $1.6 million from ATMs from 2016 to 2019, according to the filing—an indictment charging Mr. Biden with tax evasion.

During those same years, Mr. Biden was listed as paying “various women” more than $683,000, spending nearly $190,000 on adult entertainment, and paying about $72,000 for rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction, prosecutors found.

Mr. Biden’s lawyers have not responded to requests for comment on the indictment, including whether he contests any of the figures.

Mr. Biden said in a podcast episode that was released the same day the charges were made public that critics are “in their most illegitimate way, but rational way ... trying to destroy a presidency” and “trying to kill me, knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle.”

The full list of expenses detailed are:

• Payments to “various women”: $683,212
• Clothing and accessories: $397,530
• Tuition, education, and extracurriculars: $309,277
• Health products and services: $237,496
• Miscellaneous retail purchases: $236,634
• Food, groceries, and restaurants: $214,923
• Insurance: $203,815
• Mortgage and loan payments: $191,873
• Adult entertainment: $188,960
• Legal and accounting fees: $147,566
• Telephone and utility bills: $118,440
• Rehabilitation: $71,869
• Wells Fargo Advisors: $53,000
• Credit card payments: $58,542
• Home improvement and maintenance: $42,856
• Home help, cleaning, and childcare: $39,801
• Entertainment: $24,445
• Sports and recreation: $23,567

The records came from personal accounts and accounts held by Owasco P.C., into which Mr. Biden received income from his various jobs, prosecutors said.

Mr. Biden failed to pay at least $1.5 million across the four years, according to the indictment. He reported making some $7 million during that time from work for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company, and other firms. Bank records showed him spending nearly $5 million.

Mr. Biden “spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,“ the indictment states. It said the money went to an ”extravagant lifestyle.”

Mr. Biden faces nine counts and could land up to 17 years in prison if convicted. He has not yet entered a plea.

Child Support

In 2019, Mr. Biden tried to avoid paying child support for a girl he fathered with an Arkansas woman who worked for a period of time as a stripper in Washington. Mr. Biden said the girl was not his daughter. A paternity test, though, proved he was the girl’s father. He then said he couldn’t afford child support. In 2020, a judge ordered him to pay $20,000 a month to Lunden Roberts, the girl’s mother.

The case was reopened more recently after Mr. Biden asked for an adjustment to the monthly payments, claiming that his financial situation had changed.

Mr. Biden reached a deal with Ms. Roberts over the summer. The deal involved a reduction of the payments, but the specific nature of the reduction has not been made public. The public information did include an agreement for Mr. Biden to include a portion of sales from his art, which have reportedly drawn up to $500,000 per piece.

Mr. Biden also agreed to continue the payments until the girl turns 18, marries, dies, or becomes emancipated.

President Biden had previously declined to acknowledge his granddaughter, one of seven, while bragging about his other grandchildren. In a statement in June to People Magazine, he changed his tune and said that the girl is his granddaughter

“Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward,” the president said. “This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter. Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”
