President Joe Biden said in a CBS interview Sunday, Feb. 7, that reading excerpts from his son Hunter’s upcoming memoir “gave me hope.
Biden said, “It gave me hope when he came forward to talk about this issue …… in reading it.” He became emotional when talking about his son’s struggle with substance abuse.
He added, “It’s like having my boy back.”
Biden made the comments in a Sunday interview before the Super Bowl, his first television appearance since taking office.
Hunter Biden, who was discharged from the Navy Reserve in 2014 after failing a drug test, allegedly talked about his struggle with drugs in his memoir, “The Good Thing,” released April 6. Fox News reported remarks from sources that the publisher paid Hunter handsomely for the book, which is expected to run into the millions of dollars.
Biden also said in an interview with CBS that he believes Biden’s son’s struggle with drug addiction is relevant to many Americans.
Biden said, “I’ll bet there’s not a single Family that you know of where no one in that family has a drug or alcohol problem.”
Hunter Biden has been under investigation by the Delaware-based U.S. Department of Justice tax probe since late last year, which focuses on his foreign operations in countries such as China. Hunter is Biden’s only surviving son. Biden’s eldest son, Beau Biden, died of brain cancer in 2015.
Last October, Trump lawyer Giuliani exposed in the New York Post a computer hard drive with numerous videos of Hunter’s drug use and pornography, as well as emails of his family’s dealings in Ukraine and with the Chinese Communist Party. But Biden has always denied the incident and said it was false information created by Russia.
