In a shocking revelation, Hunter Biden’s art dealer, Georges Berges, spilled the beans during a meeting with congressional investigators that the majority of the president’s son’s artwork has been snatched up by deep-pocketed Democratic donors. And let’s be real here, would any of us be surprised?
Berges, brave soul that he is, made this confession during his testimony with the House Oversight Committee, which is more tangled up in knots over this than a ball of yarn in a cat lady’s living room. This all comes to light following reports that a major Democratic donor, Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, shelled out a cool $42,000 for some of Hunter’s masterpieces before she was appointed by Joe Biden to some fancy heritage board thingamajig.

Not to be outdone, Naftali doubled down and splurged a hefty $52,000 more on Hunter’s artwork in December 2022. It’s like Monopoly money to these folks! And it doesn’t stop there. Kevin Morris, another Democratic donor, allegedly forked over a whopping $875,000 for some of Hunter’s pieces. And if that isn’t eyebrow-raising enough, IRS documents claim that Morris generously handed out $4.9 million in loans to Hunter from 2020 to 2022. Must be nice!
According to a little birdie, I mean, a source, familiar with the interview, Berges confessed that the Democratic donors are the big spenders when it comes to Hunter’s art. But, take note, they might not have bought the most pieces overall. Seems like Hunter’s art is the hot new accessory for Democratic donors!
And get this, Berges pinky-promised that he didn’t spill the beans to Hunter or the White House about who was splurging on his art. Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki even confirmed this, asserting that the gallerist wouldn’t spill the beans about buyers. But sorry, not sorry, Hunter apparently had the scoop on who dropped major cash on his work, including Morris and Naftali. The White House swears they weren’t in on the art deals.
But the plot thickens! Berges waltzed into the committee meeting and spilled the beans, claiming that Hunter’s famous last name had a little something to do with the prices of his artwork. But hold on just a second, another source swooped in to dispute this claim, saying that Berges was the mastermind behind the pricing and negotiations, including with Morris.
The whole thing caught the eye of House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and he’s not amused. Comer’s all riled up, calling out the Biden White House for potentially pulling a fast one on the American people with this whole art fiasco. He’s hollering about ethics and transparency, and he’s demanding some serious explaining from the White House.
So, there you have it, folks. It’s a messy, messy world out there in art and politics land, and Hunter Biden seems to be right at the center of it. But hey, at least he’s a budding artist, right? Keep your paintbrushes ready, Hunter!
