VP-Elect's son reaches settlement for fraud
By Associated Press Share

Attorneys have reached a settlement in a New York lawsuit accusing Vice President-elect Joe Biden's youngest son and brother of fraud.

A stipulation of the settlement in the case against Hunter Biden and James Biden, both of whom denied any wrongdoing, was filed late last month.

Nicholas Gravante Jr., an attorney for the Bidens, said Friday that terms of the settlement are confidential.

The lawsuit involved an effort led by the Bidens to take control of hedge funds run by the Paradigm Companies.

A partner in the deal, Anthony Lotito Jr., claimed that the Bidens negotiated their own deal behind his back and cheated him out of money.

Lotito's attorney was not immediately available for comment Friday.
