In September 2023, Biden filed a lawsuit against Ziegler and Marco Polo, the company he founded, alleging that they violated federal and state laws by creating a searchable online database that contained 128,000 emails that were allegedly sent by Biden.
Ziegler, who worked as an aide to Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro from February 2019 to January 2021, had moved to have the case dismissed, but the judge hearing it denied his request.
In remarks last year, Ziegler called the lawsuit “completely frivolous.”
The judge mandated in September that Ziegler reimburse Biden’s legal fees, which came to about $18,000.
In a related court filing on Wednesday, Biden stated that he is “not in a position where I can borrow money” due to his massive debt.
After receiving feedback on his artwork and memoir, which his lawyers said were his primary sources of income in prior years, he said he had expected paid speaking engagements and appearances, “but that has not happened.”
