Hunter Biden finally addressed the question that has hung over the Biden White House since the summer of 2023 during an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens this week.
He swore the cocaine found by the U.S. Secret Service wasn’t his.
“I wasn’t even there,” Hunter claimed on Thursday. “There is no possibility, not even remotely, beyond the fact that I wasn’t even there.”
Hunter told Owens that investigators found the cocaine in a cubby right outside the Situation Room in the West Wing, and said it was impossible it was his.
Nobody has ever proven it was his. But, nobody has ever proven it wasn’t.
Hunter has confessed to years of drug addiction that included smoking crack-cocaine once “every 40 minutes” for days at a time in his memoir “Beautiful Things,” published in 2021.He documented in vivid detail an addiction to cocaine that consumed him for years. His addiction was so severe that he hunted down drug dealers in parking lots and smoked crack in hotel rooms. He was a habitual presence at the White House during his father’s presidency, with visitor logs showing dozens of visits.
The FBI just reopened the case into whose cocaine was found.
Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced last year that the agency would reinvestigate the cocaine discovery alongside other cases of “potential public interest.” Bongino said he had requested weekly briefings on the case and said that investigators were “making progress.”
The original Secret Service investigation lasted just 10 days. No fingerprints were recovered, and the DNA found at the scene was “insufficient for investigative comparisons” so the case was swiftly closed. No suspect. No answers.
The Biden family was at Camp David over the July 4, 2023 weekend when the cocaine was discovered, and Hunter claims that means it couldn’t have been his.
What the timeline doesn’t address is when the cocaine was left… only when it was found.
Hunter has maintained he has been clean and sober since June 2019, a claim he repeated to Owens and previously made under sworn testimony in federal court in 2023. He received a sweeping presidential pardon from his father in December 2024 covering a decade of potential federal crimes.
Trump was not subtle about what he believed when the cocaine first surfaced.
“Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden?” Trump wrote on Truth Social in July 2023.
The FBI is now officially asking the same question.
Hunter Biden says he wasn’t there. The FBI wants to know who was.
