👀 Exclusive: Hunter's secret battle

Hunter Biden's quietly been in and out of courtrooms since 2019 in a messy, multimillion-dollar civil case involving unpaid alimony to his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, Axios' Alex Thompson writes.

• Buhle is likely to testify about Hunter's drug use and finances in his upcoming trials over gun charges, which starts Monday in Delaware, and tax charges, set for Sept. 5 in L.A.

Court records obtained by Axios detail the dispute between Hunter and Buhle, which is cited in the indictment charging Hunter with tax crimes.

• On Jan. 29, 2021 — just after President Biden's inauguration — a D.C. court found Hunter was in breach of his divorce agreement and owed Buhle more than $1.7 million in spousal support, legal fees and interest since their 2017 divorce.
• Their divorce agreement called for Hunter to pay Buhle $37,000 a month plus 50% of anything he made over $875,000 annually, according to documents filed in D.C. Superior Court retrieved by Axios.

Hunter didn't pay the additional spousal support he owed in 2017 and 2018, when he earned $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, according to the court documents.
