WASHINGTON — First son Hunter Biden claimed in congressional testimony Wednesday that he was “high or drunk” when he wrote to a Chinese associate in 2017 that he was “sitting here with my father” — shortly before the transfer of $5.1 million into Biden family-linked accounts.
A readout of the 54-year-old first son’s closed-door impeachment inquiry deposition was provided to numerous news outlets Wednesday evening citing Hunter’s claim that President Biden had nothing to do with the shakedown of Chinese state-linked CEFC China Energy.
The readout said “Hunter admitted that he was high or drunk when he sent the ‘sitting here with my father’ WhatsApp message, sent it to the wrong recipient, and is now embarrassed by the message.”
The same source said that Hunter “confirmed that his dad was not sitting next to him” — as photos from the first son’s abandoned laptop actually show he was at his dad’s Wilmington, Del., home on the day of the threat.
A second source confirmed to The Post that Hunter Biden gave the excuse that he may have been high at the time of writing the message.
Since Hunter appeared under a subpoena, the testimony technically counted as a more sensitive deposition, rather than a typical “transcribed interview,” increasing the risks to anyone who discussed its content before a formal vote to release the transcript, sources said.
The WhatsApp missive implicating Joe Biden was provided to Congress last year by IRS case agent Joseph Ziegler, who alongside his supervisor Gary Shapley alleged a Justice Department coverup to protect Joe and Hunter Biden.
The IRS agents told Congress they were not allowed by the Justice Department to get cellphone geolocation data that could have established whether Hunter was indeed sitting with his father and were repeatedly blocked from pursuing evidence related to...

The Biden CRIME Family is PURE EVIL!! TOTALLY CORRUPT!!
People who are blatantly guilty are allowed to get away with their crimes, if they say they didn’t commit their crimes. At least, in some cases.
Don’t impeach.
Let the Dems run dementia Joe.
At this point it’d be Deep Stare pushing him aside for another stooge.
Huge mistake to impeach.
We knew all this four years ago. Media and Dems didn’t care. Joe was selected because he was in the take and totally corrupt. Therefore, he was under their control.
Politically flexible drug addition...
So does Prince Harry.
No wonder the Harkles like the BiteMes...
They have so much in common...
“No reasonable prosecutor…” SPIT.
All of these things happened while Hunter was under the Secret Service protection he’s had since 2008
Do they just look the other way when a protected person is committing crimes?
“The Biden CRIME Family is PURE EVIL!! TOTALLY CORRUPT!!”
Getting high or drunk doesn’t make you a different person. It just reduces your inhibitions and brings out what was inside you all along.
So it’s all a lie, even the part he admits to. Amazing.
Sounds like he’s been getting testifying tips from Willis, Wade, and Bradley.
I agree with this. I want Joe Biden to be the nominee.
In vino veritas.
We have front row seats to this circus of corrupt clowns with no recourse because the previous imposter a##clown and his administration had corrupted our justice system
Impeachment proceedings should have started on 1/20/21. Day late and a dollar short.
“ The IRS agents told Congress they were not allowed by the Justice Department to get cellphone geolocation data that could have established whether Hunter was indeed sitting with his father.”
So drop a subpoena on the cell company now.

Hunter’s politically flexible “addiction defense” is mentioned when it has a political bonus for the many scrapes Hunter created for himself.
It only heightens concerns over Hunter’s corrupt global influence-peddling. When foreign figures were giving him millions of dollars, Hunter admits that he was a crack addict and alcoholic, writing in his book that “Drinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating” as was “smoking crack around the clock.”
Yet Hunter was not some hapless junkie in Times Square snatching purses to feed his addiction.
<><>he is the son of the most powerful man on the globe
<><>he was flying around the world mooching off taxpayers on Air Force Two,
<><>he had a tax-funded Secret Service detail
<><>he was vacuuming up millions selling dad’s influence
<><>he was allegedly distributing the money to various Biden family members
<><>he was organizing a labyrinth of shell companies and LLC accounts money laundries
<><>he was selling out America left and right.
That admission is rather like you saying “I was breathing when the act occurred”.
