Hunter Biden will face questioning under oath Friday on events related to his paternity legal battles over his out-of-wedlock daughter, court documents show.

The first son has been embroiled in paternity legal proceedings since he requested to lower his child support payments to his former flame Lunden Roberts, with whom he shares 4-year-old, Navy Joan Roberts. The two had agreed to a settlement on child support in 2020, but Biden reopened the case in 2022, arguing he did not have sufficient funds.

Friday’s deposition will take place in Little Rock, Arkansas, the newly-released document shows. The first son will likely face questioning over his alleged refusal to turn over documents needed for the paternity hearing.

Holly Meyer, the judge overseeing the case, threatened him with up to six months in jail if he refused to show up in court to face questioning. Meyer also ordered Biden to show up July 10 at a courthouse in Batesville, Arkansas, to make the case of why he should not be held in contempt of court.

Biden’s lawyers have argued the first son has already paid $750,000 in child support, and can no longer continue paying $20,000 a month, due to his financial situation. Roberts’ attorney, Clint Lancaster, claimed that Biden is using “some of the most expensive attorneys on planet Earth” to make his poverty case.

President Joe Biden has never publicly acknowledged the existence of his granddaughter, and has repeatedly spoken about his grandchildren while leaving her out. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has also refused to answer why the present won’t speak about Navy Joan Roberts.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
