A federal judge has accepted Hunter Biden’s plea of poverty and allowed him to drop his lawsuit against independent researcher and publisher Garrett Ziegler.
But Judge Hernan Vera also ruled on Thursday in California that the former first son can’t bring the case again in the future.

Hunter Biden filed to drop the case by claiming he can’t get out of debt because no one is buying his “art” or his memoir and because he and his family were forced to relocate from their posh Malibu rental home after the recent wildfires.
The New York Post, however, exclusively revealed photos last week showing Hunter’s home appearing unscathed while all the surrounding houses appeared destroyed by the historic Pacific Palisade fires that raged in January.

Ziegler, who worked in the first Trump White House as an aide to trade adviser Peter Navarro, has published much of Hunter’s laptop data on his Marco Polo site in the years since the New York Post first exposed the device in 2020.
Ziegler fought against having the case dropped so he could attempt to recover the onerous legal fees from Hunter Biden and his backers.
Hunter Biden had been scheduled to be deposed by Ziegler on March 10.
In bringing the lawsuit, Hunter Biden claimed Ziegler illegally hacked his infamous laptop and shared its scandalous and embarrassing contents on the nonprofit Marco Polo site.
While agreeing to close the case, the judge denied Hunter Biden’s effort to keep it open-ended, denying him the potential to file the case again one day.
