Key Points

  • Hunter Biden’s “art career” continues to be an ethical minefield.
  • The gallery showing Hunter’s art received a curious bump in COVID relief.
  • Watchdog groups say it was by far the biggest bump for an art gallery in NYC.

More controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s “art career.”

According to recent reports, The Georges Berges Gallery – the same gallery showcasing and selling the work of Hunter Biden – received a curious bump in COVID relief benefits after President Biden took office; they originally received $150,000 in assistance under Trump.

But once Joe took office, that number was “revised” by the Small Business Administration.

“The SBA [approved] a further $350,000 to the SoHo gallery this summer, records show.

The approval came on July 26, in the lead-up to Berges’ exclusive marketing of 15 paintings by the president’s scandal-scarred son, public records show,” the New York Post reports.

Two months after the generous “revision,” the gallery hosted a pop-up show in Los Angeles to sell Hunter’s paintings. Prices ranged from $75,000 – $500,000 for some pieces.

“In total, the gallery received around $580,000 in COVID-19 relief payments, after it also received two Paycheck Protection Program loans totaling around $80,000 in April 2020 and February 2021,” the Daily Mail reports.

Very generous considering the Georges Berges Gallery only employs two people.

There’s currently no evidence Joe Biden intervened in any way to deliver the additional funds to Hunter’s gallery, but there is evidence that the payout was well above average. “A watchdog group found that of the more than 100 galleries in New York City’s 10th congressional district, which includes SoHo, TriBeCa and Chelsea, the Georges Berges Gallery received ‘by far’ the largest SBA disaster loan windfall,” the Post reports.

Hunter’s art career continues to be an ethical nightmare for the White House, who are struggling to get their messaging straight. Originally, Biden wasn’t going to meet with buyers but, in videos obtained by the Daily Mail, Hunter can be seen rubbing elbows with more than 200 potential buyers at an event at Milk Studios on October 1st.

Tom Anderson, of conservtive watchdog the National Legal and Policy Center may have said it best: “We’ve reached a new low in American politics where the President’s son gets his midlife crisis art career subsidized by the American people as part of our pandemic response to COVID.”
