TV star lawyer who appeared to have it all with high-flying attorney husband exposes horrifying marriage secrets
Jennifer Lancaster, 41, whose husband Clint, 45, famously represented the mother of Hunter Biden 's youngest lovechild, laid bare the wreckage of her marriage in a new lawsuit.
The two had put on a united front for years leading their own law firm but under the surface she says her husband relied on pills and liquor for over a decade while harboring an unhealthy relationship with firearms.
Jennifer, who also worked alongside her husband in the Biden case, claims he also suffers from 'unresolved anger issues, and unstable mental health' as well as his substance issues.
According to an affidavit seeking maintenance and emergency custody of their two kids, his behavior had endangered their kids, saying that while under the influence he 'often displays an unhealthy fixation on firearms'.
She added that for the last decade she has sought treatment for her husband through 'friends, colleagues and pastors', which she said she has done as recently as June 2025.
It is claimed that his behavior escalated earlier this summer when he went on a 'days-long binge' in which she claims he attacked her in front of their children.
Jennifer claims that he also threatened her multiple times during this alleged binge, claiming he said he would 'kick my ass' and 'kill me'.

She adds that at one point she found her husband passed out and surrounded by several assault rifles.
Jennifer also claimed that the two had separated in 2022 after he allegedly left a marijuana gummy on their daughter's desk.
The affidavit adds that Clint was kicked off a plane in Chicago while traveling to Wisconsin for rehab after he was 'combative with airline staff'.
In June he was then involuntarily admitted into an unknown psychiatric hospital in Wisconsin before being transferred to a rehab facility.
It is alleged that Clint then left the facility after discovering his insurance would not cover his stay.
Since leaving the facility he has opened new bank accounts, bought a new car, got multiple tattoos and spoke of taking their children to Florida, Jennifer added.
She said that his plans to move the children to Florida involved 'individuals who pose safety risks to the children'.
A judge has already temporarily granted Jennifer emergency custody of their children.
In a seemingly unrelated filing, Clint petitioned for a name change on behalf of a 19-year-old woman.
He said that the woman had 'recently determined that she is the biological daughter of [Lancaster]' and that she 'desires to take on the last name of her father'.
His adult daughter was born in 2006, while Clint and Jennifer married in 2011 according to court records.
A former Marine and cop, Clint had represented Hunter Biden's baby mama Lunden Roberts after Biden refused to acknowledge his youngest daughter's existence.
As part of their child support agreement, Roberts agreed to receiving less money each month as long as Biden started working on having a relationship with their child.
According to records, the Lancasters live in a 6-bedroom home in Bauxite, Arkansas, worth over $600,000.
The couple have appeared on Fox News, CNN and CNBC, according to their work profiles.
They had also shared images of themselves alongside President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in April of last year.

6 bodies are recovered from a Colorado dairy. Authorities suspect an accident involving gas exposure
Six people died at a dairy on the Colorado plains from an apparent accident involving exposure to gas, authorities said Thursday. The dead are all male and Hispanic, said Jolene Weiner, chief deputy coroner for Weld County. Their identities were being withheld pending notification of the families. 'We are investigating these deaths as the possible consequence of gas exposure in a confined space,' Weiner said. Autopsies are planned and investigators are looking into what kind of gases may have played a role in the deaths. The dairy, Prospect Valley Dairy, is located along a rural road near Keenesburg, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) northeast of Denver. Crews entered a confined space at the dairy on Wednesday and recovered the bodies, the Southeast Weld Fire Protection District said. Weld County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Melissa Chesmore said her agency didn't find anything criminal in nature. 'It looks like an accident,' she said. She didn't elaborate on the nature of the emergency or say where exactly the bodies were found, referring questions to occupational safety regulators. Chauntra Rideaux, a U.S. Department of Labor spokesperson, said in an email that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was investigating and that more information would be available after it's complete. Dairy Farmers of America said a 'tragic accident' occurred at a member farm in Keenesburg that resulted in the deaths of six people. "We are deeply saddened by this incident, and our thoughts and most sincere condolences go out to the friends and families of the deceased. At this early stage, we have no further details,' the cooperative of dairy farmers said in a statement. County tax records say the property is owned by Prospect Valley Dairy LLC and list a Bakersfield, California, address for the owners. Phone messages left for a number at the California address were not immediately returned. The dairy has a milking parlor 32,500 square feet (3,000 square meters) in size, according to county recordss. It also has two free stall barns, one built in 2017 that is more than 450,000 square feet (nearly 42,000 square meters) and another built last year that is more than 100,000 square feet (more than 9,000 square meters). Keenesburg's website says it's a town of 2,000 people in a growing area 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Denver International Airport. It says it offers small town living with the convenience of nearby amenities. Weld County more broadly is a major agricultural producer. Three-quarters of its land is devoted to farming and raising livestock. It's Colorado's leading dairy producer and the state's biggest source of beef cattle, grain and sugar beets. Census data from 2020 says 30% of the county was Hispanic or Latino, compared to 22% for the state overall. More than 14% of the county spoke Spanish at home. ___ Lee reported from Santa Fe, New Mexico and McAvoy reported from Honolulu. Associated Press Writer Corey Williams contributed from Detroit.

Trump visits police, military carrying out Washington crime crackdown
WASHINGTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump declared his crime crackdown in the nation's capital a success on Thursday as he visited federal officers deployed under his plan, which has drawn resident complaints that its tactics are too heavyhanded. Trump visited the U.S. Park Police headquarters in Southeast Washington, D.C., bringing pizza and hamburgers for officers as a gesture of support. Without citing evidence, the president told several hundred uniformed personnel that their efforts were leading to a drop in crime. "It's like a different place," he said. "Everybody is safe now." Earlier on Thursday, Trump had said he would go on patrol with law enforcement during his visit, but the ride-along did not happen. Saying the city was gripped by a violent crime wave, Trump last week declared a public safety emergency. He deployed National Guard soldiers and federal agents on the streets, and said he was temporarily taking over the city's police department in an extraordinary assertion of presidential power. The crackdown has included ramped-up stop-and-frisk operations, federal patrols in residential neighborhoods and reports of people being stopped with little explanation. Projecting confidence in the federal response, Trump told the assembled officers that Washington was on the rebound. "We're going to have the best capital ever," he said. City officials have rejected the claim that violent crime is rampant, pointing to federal and city statistics that show violent crime has declined significantly since a spike in 2023. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, asked by reporters earlier on Thursday if the city was safer now, said the capital has seen a decrease in crime for the last two years. "We expect that having 500 additional officers will yield more arrests, and we want guns off the streets. Our police officers continue to do the work, and we expect some incremental difference with more officers," she said, referring to the extra personnel ordered by Trump. The partnership between local and federal law enforcement has been tense at times, with federal agents not only targeting violent crime but also prioritizing immigration arrests and clearing homeless encampments. Five years after Trump deployed National Guard troops to disperse racial justice protesters outside the White House, his 30-day takeover of local law enforcement has sparked some demonstrations. These have included in the past week organized protests near the White House as well as city residents and demonstrators spontaneously confronting federal agents. In one incident, a resident was charged with a felony for throwing a sandwich at an officer. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Wednesday visited troops at Union Station, Washington's central train hub, where protesters heckled them with jeers and shouts. Trump on Thursday was joined by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, his White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, architect of Trump's migrant crackdown. Trump's administration this week ordered federal prosecutors in Washington to be more aggressive in pursuing criminal cases against people arrested as part of the crackdown in the nation's capital, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
