Recent reports suggest that Hunter Biden may be planning an extended stay in South Africa, potentially up to three months, to avoid testifying in a lawsuit concerning the alleged hacking of his laptop. He cites financial difficulties and the impact of Los Angeles wildfires as reasons for this relocation. However, Garrett Ziegler, accused of hacking and disseminating the laptop’s contents, disputes these claims, suggesting that Hunter’s Malibu residence was unaffected by the fires and questioning his financial hardships.
In 2024, Hunter Biden faced legal challenges, including convictions for gun-related charges and tax offenses. President Biden later issued a full pardon for all offenses committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
As of March 2025, Hunter Biden is residing in Africa, with reports indicating a move to South Africa. However, it’s unclear whether this relocation is permanent or temporary. There is no definitive evidence linking his move to attempts to evade prosecution by former President Donald Trump. It’s important to note that while Hunter Biden has faced legal issues, there is no public information suggesting that former President Trump is actively pursuing prosecution against him.
