First Lady Jill Biden's ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, accused the Joe "Biden Crime family" of threatening him to win divorce concessions for her and ultimately using the legal system to punish him when he fought them in court.

Daily Mail reported on the interview Thursday: "The 75-year-old said the president's brother Frankie Biden tried to intimidate him during his divorce to Jill, and claimed he faced repercussions when he did not listen to the alleged threats."

"Frankie Biden of the Biden crime family comes up to me and he goes, 'Give her the house or you’re going to have serious problems,'" Stevenson told Newsmax host Greg Kelly in the interview Wednesday. "I looked at Frankie and I said, 'Are you threatening me?' and needless to say, about two months later, my brother and I were indicted for that tax charge of $8,200."

As Mediaite, which carried the video of the interview, reported, Kelly responds: “Delaware is a small state. Joe Biden is like the prince of Delaware in a way, right? Very powerful. You think that he essentially ordered this?” – to which Stevenson replies, “I not only think it, I know it.”

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Stevenson gained attention for asserting that Jill Biden, to whom he was married from 1970 to 1975, had cheated on him by having an adulterous affair with Joe Biden, whom she later married.

The $8,200 is a reference to a quarterly tax payment owed by Stevenson and his brother, according to Stevenson. As he tells it, despite his offering a very generous divorce settlement to Jill, it was rejected as Joe Biden hired an aggressive legal team to secure a better settlement for Jill, including getting ownership of the Newark house.

"It took six years to resolve that and this is when my problems started," Stevenson told Kelly. ("I won everything," he said.) "In 1982, they lost the house and Jill had to come to the lawyer's office and sign off the deed of the house in downtown Newark." That is when Frank Biden, Joe's brother, made his threat to the Delaware businessman.

"About two months later, my brother and I were indicted for that tax charge of $8,200." Each was charged with a felony.

Kelly interjects, expressing his astonishment at how quickly the government charged Stevenson: "Those dates are crazy."

"My brother and I were charged for $8,200 at that point, the [concert bar he owned] in the 1st 10 years of business had already grossed over $30 million, and we had generated over $5 million in taxes," Stevenson said. "I could not believe the power of Joe Baden and the Department of Justice. I couldn't believe it that I could be indicted. For $8,000."

He continued: "Now here's the tragic part. My brother pleaded guilty. It broke us up forever. It's just within the last month that we're talking again. It broke my heart. He pleaded guilty. He took the fall."

Newsmax and Kelly put up a graphic contrasting the speedy prosecution and hefty charge against Jill Biden's ex-husband with the slow, five-year investigation ending in two mere misdemeanor charges and a plea deal (which collapsed Wednesday) for Joe Biden's son, Hunter:

Stevenson said, "It's hard to believe what they're doing to President Trump right now," describing it as the "exact same thing" Biden's team did to him. "I couldn't stand it anymore. I needed somebody just to listen to me to tell them what happened to me because I got on the wrong side of the Biden family. After spoiling Jill for five years, I was on the wrong side of them, and they have literally [been coming] after me for 35 years in a row. One little thing after another."

'It’s hard to believe what they’re doing to President Trump. ... I can't let them do this to a president I love and respect. ... This is the only reason I’ve come forward," he said, according to the Daily Mail. "It’s like I said, nothing about the divorce, no bitterness, but Jimmy, Frankie, and President Biden are very dangerous, and it’s tragic. I can’t let them do what they did to me to President Trump. I can’t do it.'

Earlier in his Newsmax program, which was entirely devoted to alleged Biden lies and family corruption, Kelly threw water on Joe and Jill Biden's "official" love story, calling it another Biden lie. He played excerpts of an interview in which Stevenson gave evidence that the Senator and future president and Jill spent time together while she was still married to Stevenson. The breaking point for the businessman came when Jill passed up a chance to go with him to meet Bruce Springsteen (who would be singing at his bar) because she said she had to watch Joe Biden's children.
