Hunter Biden has taken on a new position as director of development at BASTA Inc., a Los Angeles-based eviction defense organization.
The announcement was made during an interview released Tuesday, as the president’s son continues to face significant financial and legal challenges.
Biden, who has reportedly accumulated millions of dollars in legal fees, discussed his new role with host Andrew Callaghan, describing the opportunity as a chance to assist vulnerable individuals in Los Angeles.
“There’s such an opportunity to be of service right now and not in … some kind of melodramatic, you know, way … A lot of people that are getting the shit beat out of them out there right here in LA and, there’s an enormous opportunity for just normal people to do kind of heroic things, whether it’s protecting somebody that’s about to get kidnapped off a street,” Biden said during the interview.
BASTA Inc., where Biden is now employed, was co-founded by Bryan Sullivan, who previously served as Biden’s attorney in a series of unsuccessful defamation lawsuits.
The nonprofit specializes in defending tenants facing eviction and, according to Biden, focuses part of its efforts on assisting illegal aliens.
“We’re the only group, in at least Southern California, that represents undocumented, and so we don’t take any federal money,” Biden said.
