Hunter Biden was either drunk or on drugs when he pretended his father was sitting next to him in a successful bid to persuade a Chinese company to pay the family $5.1 million, he told Congress today.
The president’s son was giving closed door testimony in the Congressional impeachment inquiry into his father’s business links today when he made the jaw-dropping admission.
‘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,’ a readout of his testimony recorded.
Within 10 days of his threatening message, $5.1 million flowed from the Chinese firm CEFC to Biden-linked accounts, according to information in a 2020 report by Republican-led Senate committees.

The WhatsApp message to CEFC was cited by IRS whistleblowers Joseph Ziegler and Gary Shapley last year as evidence of a Justice Department cover-up into the Biden’s after they were refused permission to investigate it.
It later emerged that Hunter Biden was not with his father on the day it was sent, but was at Joe Biden‘s home in Wilmington, Delaware.
