Report: Hunter tried to pay hush money to baby mama Lunden Roberts

Hunter Biden's attorney offered hush money to Lunden Roberts in an attempt to keep their love child a secret, her forthcoming book claims. In Out of the Shadows: My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden, Lunden recalls the moment her lawyer informed her in 2019 that Hunter was willing to pay $250,000 to not be a part of now 5-year-old Navy Joan's life.

In the tell-all, Lunden writes about meeting and then casually dating Hunter while he was addicted to crack cocaine - and how he carelessly treated her once he found out she was pregnant with his baby in 2018. But then there was the moment she described as never feeling 'so much heartbreak and anger at the same time.' And it came from the Bidens trying to buy her silence.

In 2019, a DNA test taken at a facility in Oklahoma City proved that Hunter was the father of Lunden's daughter Navy Joan. 'Now that paternity has been established, I've been thinking Hunter would try to connect with his daughter, but nothing happens,' Lunden recalled. She then received a call from her lawyer, Clint Lancaster.

Hunter, Lancaster told her, 'claims to be broke.' Lunden said she told her lawyer that she didn't care about that. 'It was just proven that he's the father, and the first thing he comes back with is "I'm broke." How about "I'm sorry?" How about taking accountability for your child?' she mused. 'I don't care if you're broke, and your child won't care either. All she wants is a father.'

But then Lancaster dropped a 'bomb.' 'But that's not the biggie,' her lawyer said. 'He wants to know if you would like to single-parent adopt Navy?' Lunden immediately got angry. 'Adopt her? Are you [expletive] kidding me? So then he has no obligations and avoids responsibility?' she asked.

Lancaster answered yes. 'They even asked if you would sign an NDA to not discuss the results,' Lunden's lawyer replied. The young mom wasn't having it. 'Oh, hell no. They can shove that NDA up the [expletive] and their [expletive] offer,' she told Lancaster. 'Hunter has hurt me before, but this is a new hurt, a mother's hurt for her daughter, my heart breaks for her,' Lunden recalled feeling at the time. Lancaster then claimed that Hunter's team had given him a dollar amount. 'They said he's willing to add $250,000 to the deal,' Lunden's lawyer said.

Lunden said her jaw dropped to the floor upon hearing that. '"How the hell do you put a dollar figure on your own daughter?" I ask. "What the [expletive] hell, Clint? He wants out. He wants to keep everything hush, not be a father, and continue to humiliate me in public,"' Lunden wrote. Before establishing paternity, Hunter had smeared Lunden in the press, by denying to The New Yorker that they ever had intercourse. Now Hunter wanted legal permission to continue that denial. Lancaster asked Lunden how she wanted to proceed.

'I wanted to do this the best way to not harm him, but [expletive] him,' she told her lawyer. 'You tell him I said eat [expletive]. Do whatever you have to do.' Lancaster said he would file a motion with the court to establish paternity, with Lunden telling the attorney she didn't need to review it. 'No, I'm sick of this [expletive]. Chew him up and spit him out. I don't care about the details,' Lunden said.

'I get off the phone and I look on the bed next to my sleeping daughter. Caressing Navy's blonde curls, I can't hold back the tears,' she recalled. 'How could anyone not want this perfect angel.' When the motion was filed, there was one detail Lunden and Lancaster missed. They did so on now President Joe Biden's birthday.

'Turns out we filed the court documents with the DNA test results on November 20, Joe's birthday, and didn't know it,' she admitted. 'I look so conniving,' she wrote. A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment. Out of the Shadows will be released August 20.
