New Documentary Footage Shows Hunter Biden Following 2023 Federal Plea Agreement

Newly reviewed footage from an upcoming documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at Hunter Biden in the days following his June 2023 plea agreement with federal prosecutors over tax and firearms charges.

According to The New York Post, the footage, filmed on June 29, 2023, captures Hunter Biden appearing visibly emotional during a phone conversation with New York art dealer Georges Bergès. The recording was made as part of a documentary by Hollywood attorney, author, and producer Kevin Morris, who reportedly loaned Hunter Biden more than $6.5 million to help cover unpaid taxes and personal expenses.

The documentary follows Hunter Biden between 2021 and 2024, documenting his personal life, legal challenges, and career as an artist during Joe Biden’s presidency. Morris, known for his work in the entertainment industry, reportedly accompanied Hunter Biden with a film crew at art exhibitions, legal proceedings, and other public appearances.

In one scene reviewed by The New York Post, Hunter Biden is heard asking, “Who am I protected by?” during an animated phone conversation with Bergès. The exchange appears to take place at his Malibu art studio, where he is also seen working on a painting while holding his young son, Beau.

The documentary also highlights Hunter Biden’s transition into the art world. Bergès is shown evaluating one of his paintings, commenting that he believed the work was “missing something.” The film then shifts to news coverage surrounding scrutiny of Hunter Biden’s artwork sales while his father served as president, including calls from some Republican lawmakers for additional oversight of the transactions.

According to the report, Morris also documented Hunter Biden’s legal proceedings and traveled with his film crew to Serbia during production. The documentary remains a work in progress, and no release date has been announced.

Hunter Biden’s legal issues continued to generate national attention after President Joe Biden issued a broad pardon in December 2024. The pardon covered federal offenses committed over an 11-year period, extending beyond the tax and firearm convictions that had been the focus of earlier court proceedings.

The decision drew criticism from some Republicans and some Democrats, while supporters argued the pardon was justified given the lengthy legal and political scrutiny surrounding Hunter Biden. Debate over the pardon has continued, with commentators and lawmakers offering differing views on its legal, political, and ethical implications as investigations into the Biden family’s business dealings remain a subject of public discussion.
