Independent County Circuit Judge Don McSpadden suddenly recused himself from Hunter Biden's paternity case Tuesday morning.

Hunter had a child with 28-year-old Lunden Roberts after meeting her at a DC strip joint where she worked as a stripper and she is demanding a hefty child support payment!

Ms. Roberts dragged Hunter Biden into a nasty court battle after he has 'refused to pay child support for over a year' and refused to pay her $11,000 legal bill.

Hunter Biden claimed in a sworn statement that he is in debt and unemployed and he is refusing to turn over the last 5 years of his financial records.

Lunden Roberts' attorneys are asking that Hunter Biden be held in contempt of court for refusing to turn over his financial records related to Burisma and the Chinese private equity firm.

The Democrat Arkansas Gazette reported that Judge McSpadden recused at 10:20 AM without explanation.
