He used crack cocaine every 20 minutes, in total he has spent an astronomical $1 million on prostitutes and on expensive cars, according to content found by US authorities on the laptop of Haden Biden, the… disembodied son of the Democratic outgoing US president.

To that end, Jill Biden’s husband Jill Biden bestowed a presidential pardon on his youngest son. with President-in-waiting Donald Trump condemning Joe’s move as an “abuse and miscarriage of justice”.

Hunter Biden began drinking as a teenager and during school he used cocaine, going in and out of rehab centres, according to The Sun.

In 2013, he rushed to serve in the US Navy but his commanding officer showed him the door on day one after he tested positive for cocaine.

Then, after his older brother Bo died of brain cancer in 2015, he began consuming large amounts of alcohol, mostly vodka.

After a bitter divorce from his wife of 24 years, Kathleen Ball, in 2017, he publicly admitted he was addicted to alcohol and drugs that affected “his whole family”.

He also spoke of his numerous infidelities – including to his sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, after the death of his brother Bo.

After his divorce in 2017, Hunter had an affair with Zoe Kestan. She admitted that Hunter drank a bottle of vodka every day and that when he woke up, the first thing he did was smoke crack.

What’s odd is that the Democratic outgoing US president, Joe Biden had repeatedly assured his fellow Americans that he would not bestow a presidential pardon on his naughty son.

Hunter Biden, 54, had pleaded guilty last September in a Los Angeles court to tax fraud, avoiding a new trial.

The charges

The former lawyer and businessman, who has now decided to devote himself to painting, faced charges of tax fraud and tax evasion for failing to pay federal taxes due from 2016 to 2019, amounts totaling $1.4 million while spending lavishly to buy drugs, sex, and luxury goods.

Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to a charge of falsely stating that he was not addicted to drugs while buying a handgun, a felony in the state of Delaware, the Biden stronghold. He expected to be informed of his sentences for the two cases in December.

The pardon

His father justified the presidential pardon by arguing how “from the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making process, and I kept my word, even though I saw my son subjected to selective and unfair prosecution.” This is according to the press release issued by the White House.

“The charges in these cases only came about after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me so that I would not be re-elected,” Joe Biden claimed.

“I believe in the judicial system, but (…) I also believe that raw political expediency influenced this process and led to a mistrial,” he added.

“I hope Americans will understand why a father and a president came to this decision,” Jill Biden’s husband stressed.
