Did Hunter Biden WRITE His Own Memoir?

Hunter Bidens memoirs make about as much sense of an existential presence as Madoona’s Vagina giving an oral history on celibacy. Do you really want to listen to that?
Well, duh!!!
Kind of like when O lied when he wrote his account of his background stating he was born in Kenya.
Did Hunter Biden Lie to His Own Memoir?
