Days after the mother of Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock baby demanded he be held in contempt of court for refusing to disclose his income for child support purposes, Hunter Biden’s lawyers announced that he will be skipping a scheduled deposition on Wednesday, March 11, due to coronavirus concerns and his pregnant wife’s approaching due date.

“Defendant requests continuance of the hearing as he is unavailable to attend due to his wife’s due date in 2 and a half weeks or less and risks involved with travel,” Hunter Biden’s lawyers said in the new filing, as reported by Washington Free Beacon. “It is unsafe for the Defendant to travel, as travel restrictions have been implemented both domestically and internationally, particularly on airlines, due to the coronavirus. Setting aside personal endangerment, the Defendant reasonably believes that such travel unnecessarily exposes his wife and unborn child to this virus. California, in particular, has been the site of numerous reported cases of exposure.”
