After receiving an unconditional pardon from President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden now faces accusations of owing over $300,000 in unpaid rent to former landlords, reigniting scrutiny surrounding his financial and legal troubles.

Shaun Maguire, a partner at Sequoia Capital, publicly alleged on social media that Hunter Biden had accumulated significant unpaid rent debts during his tenancy in Venice, California. Maguire claimed that, between 2019 and 2020, Hunter failed to pay over $300,000 in rent for a $25,000-per-month property, even attempting to pay with art made from his feces.

Maguire posted on X that Hunter Biden had been their tenant in Venice, CA, but failed to pay rent for over a year. He claimed that Hunter changed the locks and involved the Secret Service to enforce the situation, effectively denying them access to the property. When questioned about not pursuing eviction, Maguire remarked that the Bidens are kind of a scary family to go after.

This alleged unpaid rent would constitute a civil matter, not covered under the presidential pardon. President Biden’s clemency, issued on December 1, 2024, broadly applies to federal crimes committed by Hunter between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. It includes tax violations and charges related to firearm background checks but does not shield Hunter from private financial disputes.

Maguire’s claims align with similar allegations. In 2023, reports surfaced that Hunter owed $80,000 in back rent to Sweetgreen CEO Jonathan Neman for another Venice property.

Hunter Biden’s federal tax case officially concluded after his father’s pardon, but U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi harshly criticized President Biden’s handling of the matter. In a five-page order, the Trump-appointed judge expressed concern over the president’s announcement, stating it misrepresented the facts of the case and implied misconduct by public officials involved.

Scarsi wrote, that the President asserts that Mr. Biden ‘was treated differently, but clarified that the record shows Hunter Biden’s prosecution was consistent with legal standards. Scarsi also argued that the pardon’s language, which covered crimes committed through December 1, effectively excused potential future misconduct, raising constitutional concerns.

While Scarsi refrained from commenting on the legality of the pardon, his remarks underscored the broader implications of granting clemency in such a controversial manner.

As allegations of unpaid rent emerge alongside continued legal and ethical scrutiny, Hunter Biden’s actions remain a focal point of political and public debate, casting a shadow over President Biden’s decision to issue the contentious pardon.
