The suit concerns unpaid legal bills, with Biden stating he has no assets beyond his paintings and that the firm knew he wouldn’t be able to pay, while Winston Taylor says the debt is owed. Biden recently won $1.7 million in a defamation case, and collection efforts are complicated by liens and other factors. No comment was obtained from representatives for Biden or the White House.

Smith May Be Called to Testify in Pinkett Smith–Salaam Dispute

Will Smith could be deposed in Bilaal Salaam's $3 million lawsuit against Jada Pinkett Smith. Salaam requested Smith’s deposition via email, but Pinkett Smith’s attorney argued Smith isn’t a party to the case and no subpoena appears to have been served. The filing sought additional evidence, including medical records. The suit concerns alleged threats and retaliation related to Pinkett Smith’s personal life; Pinkett Smith countersued under California anti-SLAPP, and a judge later granted partial relief, striking public statements and ordering Salaam to reimburse about $32,800 in attorney costs. The case continues with a next court date set for Aug. 19.
