Hunter Biden sold $1.3M in art — and one buyer was a Dem donor ‘friend’ Joe appointed to a prestigious commission: report

First son Hunter Biden’s novice artwork has raked in at least $1.3 million — with buyers including a Democratic donor “friend’’ whom his dad named to a prestigious commission, a report said Monday.

Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate investor and philanthropist, bought one of Hunter’s works, according to Business Insider, which cited sales records kept by his art dealer, the Georges Bergès Gallery of Manhattan.

Naftali was appointed by President Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022 — about eight months after Hunter’s first art show, which took place in Hollywood.

It is unclear when Naftali bought her Hunter artwork or how much she paid for it.

A Biden administration official told the publication that Naftali was recommended for her preservation board post by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and that she didn’t buy the position through the art deal.

Meanwhile, Business Insider said the largest chunk of Hunter’s art sales so far has gone to a single deep-pocketed mystery buyer — who scooped up 11 artworks for a total of $875,000.

The outlet reported that one of Hunter’s art buyers is his “sugar brother” Kevin Morris, a wealthy lawyer who reportedly lent him about $2 million to pay off back taxes.

It wasn’t known whether Morris was the top buyer. Insider’s report was the most detailed to date on the first son’s art sales.

Hunter Biden’s bong-smoking lawyer Kevin Morris, who paid first son’s $2M tax bill, ALSO spent fortune on his art – along with California Dem donor Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali, who Joe appointed to prestigious heritage board:

Hunter Biden’s paintings have been bought by a top Democratic donor and the lawyer who has caught smoking a bong during a visit from the First Son last week, a bombshell new report has revealed.

Despite a White House promise that all purchasers’ identities would be kept a secret, two names have been revealed: Los Angeles-based real estate investor and Democratic donor Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali and Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris.

In July 2022, eight months after Hunter’s exhibition opened in New York City, Joe Biden appointed Naftali to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad. It’s not clear whether she had already purchased the art at that time.

Hunter’s Hollywood ‘fixer’ lawyer Morris was seen smoking on the balcony of his Malibu home last week and loaned the president’s son $2million to help him pay back taxes.

When Hunter Biden first announced he would make a high-dollar foray into the art world, the Biden team promised the identities of those who purchased Hunter’s art would remain anonymous. On the campaign trail, Joe Biden promised an ‘absolute wall’ between his duties as president and his family’s business dealings.

In 2021, Hunter made his debut at a ritzy New York art gallery, where the sticker price clocked in on some of his amateur pieces at $500,000.

The White House said at the time the buyers had been vetted and their identity was only known to the gallery – suggesting Hunter’s latest business venture would not become a way to sell White House influence.

But Hunter Biden did in fact learn the identity of two of his collectors, according to an Insider report that cites three people with direct knowledge of Biden’s art career.

Membership of the commission Naftali was appointed to is unpaid and often filled by friends and allies of the president, much like ambassadorships. —>READ MORE HERE
