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...

Sorry. Im in a bad mood. Please excuse my crude...blah blah blah....
So tired of this filthy family.
And he gives his word as a Biden.
Oh well, that makes it ok then, right?
If our founding fathers would have imagined such trailer trash could ever occupy the White Dump, they would have given us a monarchy instead.
sounds like that hearing yesterday didn’t go too well for the republicans. Just from everything I’ve seen from Comer and some others it sounds like they didn’t get anything of value. Of course the Hunter’s representation brought machine guns to the hearing and our side was probably throwing ping pong balls.....per usual.
The public hearing is going to be an absolute sh*t show. The dems will do everything in their power to interupt, make speeches, bash Trump, and deflect anyway they can.
The problem with that is the chance he might win.
lol - exactly.
So...Hunter, without your fathers influence, how exactly do you convince all these people do business with you as you’re unqualified for anything?
I mean damn! Salesman of the century otherwise...
agree.... Joe Biden is so bad even the democrats are having second thoughts...
“Driving that train
High on cocaine
[Hunter B] you better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind...”

He showed up in DC this week with what I like to call an Addict Backpack. When I was deep into my alcohol addiction, I carried a backpack everywhere as an excuse to hide vodka poured into a water bottle for sips when the shakes would start during the day.
No grown man needs a backpack on them unless they are a hiking guide or ski patrol, let alone hopping off of Marine One while wearing a suit.
Huh? They got many statements from Hunter that directly contradict what other witnesses have said to the committee. Someone is lying under oath.
Where do you get your news? Rachel Maddow?
I’m not parroting news. It’s just an observation from watching interviews from the republican judiciary members vs. Hunter. Demeaner, what they said, etc.
Hopefully I’m wrong. Didn’t seem like they were that confident in any new bombshell material. I guess we’ll see when the transcripts come out.
So, if I murder someone while drunk or high, that will get me off the hook?
So, if I hit someone in my car while drunk or high, that will be a valid excuse?
Just asking...
Only in America, can you smoke crack, drink, and still make 5 million in one sitting.
Only in America can Hunter Biden have defenders after photographing himself naked in a mirror with his underage neice on the bed behind him.
And Joe Biden keeps telling us how proud he is of this degenerate.
How does he explain the phone calls and/or photos of his father with his business partners and/or potential clients?
Good question.
Exactly!
