Hunter Biden Questioned About Cocaine at White House Amid Impeachment Inquiry
Hunter Biden faced intense scrutiny on Wednesday when a reporter questioned him about the discovery of cocaine at the White House in July. This incident occurred just after his lawyer accused House Republicans of focusing more on Biden’s drug issues than on relevant matters during the impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
Lawyer's Complaint Dismissed by Journalist
Following the closed-door testimony on Capitol Hill, Hunter Biden's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, expressed frustration with the Republican members' line of questioning. Lowell emphasized that the Republicans seemed more interested in discussing his client's addiction than in addressing the impeachment inquiry. As they were leaving, a journalist inquired about the cocaine found at the White House, to which Hunter did not respond.
Speculation Surrounding Cocaine Discovery
In July, a bag of cocaine was discovered at the White House, leading to widespread speculation about its origin. Former President Donald Trump implicated both Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden in relation to the stash, although the Secret Service was unable to determine the responsible party.
Hunter Biden's Deposition and Allegations of Corruption
On Wednesday, Hunter Biden underwent deposition as part of the House GOP's inquiry into alleged corruption involving the president. Republicans have accused President Joe Biden of benefiting from his son's business dealings during his vice presidency, but have failed to produce concrete evidence to support their claims.
