The “sugar brother” of President Biden\u2019s son, Hunter<\/a>, is threatening legal action against criminal defense attorney and Fox News contributor Johnathan Truly, accusing him of defamation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kevin Morris, a Hollywood attorney and personal confidant to the younger Biden sat for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee as part of House Republicans’ sweeping probe into<\/a> President Biden’s family and its past foreign business dealings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a 2022 column, Turley commented on Morris’ position as a central figure in planning a “scorched Earth campaign” against “any investigation into the Bidens\u2019 alleged multimillion-dollar influence-peddling schemes.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

That plan, Turley noted, included “hitting critics\u2026with possible defamation lawsuits.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fast-forward just over a year later \u2014 following his House committee interview in which he revealed he gave “massive’ financial support to Hunter Biden” \u2014 Morris may be following through on his plan. <\/p>\n

HUNTER BIDEN’S ‘SUGAR BROTHER’ LAWYER CONFIRMS HE STILL HOLDS STAKE IN CHINESE STATE-BACKED EQUITY FUND<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“On Wednesday, I received a letter from\u00a0Bryan M. Sullivan, a partner at\u00a0Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae LLP, who is the lawyer of Kevin Morris (who is the lawyer for Hunter Biden). The letter warns that I could face a defamation action if I do not retract (or if I repeat) my criticism of Morris\u2019s representational relationship with Hunter,” Jonathan Turley wrote in his Friday column.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In his letter, Sullivan attacks my reference to ethics rules as unworthy of a professor as well as ‘blatantly misleading and just bad lawyering,'” said Turley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That tirade about my lack of knowledge and principles is followed by a demand for an immediate retraction and adds \u2018if you repeat your baseless charges, you understand that accusing someone of violating the law is defamation\u00a0per se,\u2019” he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turley stated that he “will not issue a retraction despite the threats of Morris and Sullivan.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, he published another column in the New York Post, repeating his “objections to Morris\u2019s blurry representational claims.”<\/p>\n

KEVIN MORRIS GAVE ‘MASSIVE’ FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO HUNTER BIDEN, RAISING CAMPAIGN FINANCE CONCERNS: COMER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“The effort in such threats is to silence or chill critics in their criticism of a wealthy, powerful public figure like Mr. Morris,” Turley stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the Post column, Turley said that following his House testimony, the “question that lingered then, and now, is who is Kevin Morris.”<\/p>\n

“The Hollywood lawyer, producer and Democratic donor<\/a> has emerged as a major figure in the corruption scandal surrounding Hunter Biden. For years, some of us have complained that we are not sure what Morris was at any given moment,” Turley stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HUNTER BIDEN’S ‘SUGAR BROTHER’ GOES SCORCHED EARTH ON COMER, SAYS HE’S ‘CONFIDENT’ HUNTER WILL REPAY LOANS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“What became clear in the deposition is that Morris does not appear certain himself,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s Hunter\u2019s confidant, sugar brother, business partner, pitbull and his lawyer.”<\/p>\n

“That could prove his undoing \u2026 both for himself and his client,” said Turley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
