EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden’s lawyer Kevin Morris is seen smoking a BONG on the balcony of his LA home while clearly visible from the road during a visit from the president’s son
Hunter Biden visited his “sugar brother” Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris – who was photographed appearing to smoke from a bong.
The first son made a trip from his Malibu pad to the Pacific Palisades on Thursday to visit his attorney after agreeing to plead guilty to federal tax misdemeanor charges last month.
While Hunter was at the house, Morris was snapped on a balcony in full view of the public street, appearing to sniff a white hookah, in photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
Seeing his lawyer tearing out of a bong could bring unwanted flashbacks to the First Son, who spent years photographing and filming himself taking copious amounts of drugs, including crack cocaine on weeks of bends, material from his abandoned laptop shows.
One of the criminal charges against Hunter is on a 2018 federal gun form that he was not an illegal drug user when he admitted to being a crack addict in his memoir.
It’s not clear what substance was in Morris’s bong, and recreational use of marijuana is legal in California. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The visit came after Sen. Chuck Grassley published a copy of an FBI report detailing claims by a trusted informant that Joe Biden and Hunter received $10 million in bribes from Ukrainian gas company owner Mykola Zlochevsky.
On Friday, DailyMail.com revealed that the FBI also confirmed parts of the informant’s story in 2020, according to a source close to the federal investigation.
Morris made a fortune representing the creators of the TV show South Park in a $900 million deal with ViacomCBS in 2021.
He was dubbed Hunter’s “sugar brother” after agreeing to loan the First Son a reported $2.8 million to pay off his tax debts and joining his legal team amid criminal and congressional investigations.
He has also represented numerous Hollywood heavyweights, including Ellen DeGeneres, Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey and Chris Rock.
Morris is currently suing the right-wing nonprofit organization Marco Polo and its founder, former Donald Trump White House staffer Garrett Ziegler, who has been investigating the Biden family.
The attorney charged Ziegler and his nonprofit with harassment, invasion of privacy and “criminal impersonation of identity” in court documents filed in Los Angeles.

Hunter’s visit to Morris came after it was revealed that a Ukrainian oligarch bribed Joe Biden and Hunter with $10 million
Congress released an FBI agent’s account of a 2020 interview with a classified longtime informant who claimed that Joe and Hunter Biden were bribed by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch
The informant alleged that Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of the allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma, told them of his plan to bribe Hunter and Joe with $10 million.

In text messages published by DailyMail.com last year, Morris appeared to lose his cool with a Marco Polo agent posing as a potential ally willing to help Hunter’s legal team.
Morris is also said to have dabbled in clandestine tricks to get information out of Hunter’s enemies.
The lawyer was accused of lying to get on the set of My Son Hunter, a film designed to show Biden in the worst possible light with stories about his drug use, partying and allegedly corrupt business dealings.
He flew on a private jet to Serbia, where the film was being shot, and claimed he wanted to interview the producers for a documentary he claimed to be making about Biden’s corruption, My Son Hunter producer Phelim McAleer said.
McAleer claimed at the time, “Knowing about his portrayal of Hunter Biden, his questions during filming suddenly make a lot of sense. I thought he was just making a documentary, but it turns out he was spying fraudulently for his client Hunter Biden.”
In text messages published by DailyMail.com last year, Morris appeared to lose his cool with a Marco Polo agent posing as a potential ally willing to help Hunter’s legal team — calling the imposter a “damned idiot,” adding, “I’m going to take all your money” and “I know where you live.”
Morris and two colleagues were allegedly given full access to the set for days to record hours of footage for the alleged documentary.
The filmmakers claim that Morris was primarily interested in the film’s content – including what sources they had for their information and what they knew about how Hunter’s laptop ended up in the hands of the media.
Morris was reportedly behind efforts last year to push friendly media organizations to question the provenance of Hunter’s abandoned laptop — despite DailyMail.com’s authentication of the hard drive in early 2021 using leading cyberforensics experts and subsequent verification by the Washington Post, New York Times and CBS.
The more proactive legal strategy reportedly sparked fear in the White House, sources told CNN, with the president’s aides preferring that Hunter keep quiet and keep a low profile.
