For that, I am responsible. For that I’m accountable. And for that I’m making amends. But I’m also here today to correct how the MAGA right has portrayed me for their political purposes. I am, first and foremost a son, a father, a brother, and a husband. First. Let’s stop there for a minute. Let’s stop there for a minute because I don’t like the disingenuousness that comes along with Hunter Biden.

I don’t. I really don’t. Hunter Biden is defending himself by saying that basically his father was not financially involved in anything that he had going on that would basically jeopardize or paint Joe Biden, the father, in a negative light, especially considering his election season, right, or election season is starting to wrap up. And one of the tactics that he’s using is he’s saying that, well, it’s the MAGA right.

MAGA Right. That is painting this and doing this investigation that is unfairly tying my father in and then offending what it is that I’ve got going on in my legacy. It’s the MAGA right that’s doing it, and they’re doing it without justification. There is no one. And when I say no one, nobody that is more scrutinized, investigated, and then unjustifiably being thrown under the bus with trumped up charges than Trump himself.

There is nobody that has had a witch hunt on them or against them more than Donald J. Trump. Nobody. Whether you agree with him, his policies, his politics, the way that he ran his presidency, one thing that I think that we all can agree on is that there is nobody that has had more lawsuits, more witch hunt, more scrutiny, no president in the history, and he ain’t even a president.

He’s just the son of a president who was a bad druggie. Nobody, not one person has been scrutinized more than Donald Trump. That’s a fact. So listen, throw the excuses out. We don’t want to hear it. You out here embarrassing your father, getting arrested and subpoenaed and all of this other type of stuff. And here’s the question that I really have. Who wrote this speech for him? From a loving and supportive family, I’m proud to have earned degrees from Georgetown University and Yale Law School as a result of your father.

I’m proud of my legal career and business career. I’m proud of my time serving on a dozen different boards of directors because of the power of your father. And I’m proud of my efforts to forge global business relationships. For six years, maga republicans, including members of the House committees, who are in a closed door session right now, have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my children, my family, and my friends, fam you up on tax charges, and you had a subpoena that you defied in order to be able to have his press conference.

You got tax charges, fam. And now your father got an impeachment inquiry targeted against him, partially because of his ties to you and that you are the son that probably never should have been, considering how much you’re embarrassing your father, even though I don’t like Biden. So then you go out and address reporters outside of Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and then you basically embarrass your father even more by running in the victim olympics.

Okay. They have ridiculed my struggle with addiction. They’ve belittled my recovery, and they have tried to dehumanize me. We got to replay that one. Hold on, hold on, Hunter. Hold on, Hunter. You a grown man. They’ve ridiculed your struggle with addiction. Hold on. Give me a second. Give me a second. Let me just play this. My children, my family and my friends, they have ridiculed my struggle with addiction.

They’ve belittled my recovery, and they have tried to dehumanize me. You want a cookie, little? Oh, buttercup. This is the new buttercup. Hunter is Buttercup. You want some credit? You don’t want us to belittle your recovery from. Yo, listen, you know that they said that they found some drugs inside of the White House? I don’t think that that’s ever been documented in the history of the White House.

Listen, it didn’t happen until Biden was in the White House. And then they said that you came and visited, allegedly. And then now they saying that they found some drugs in the White House. Hey, what kind of drugs was he on? All to embarrass and damage my father, who has devoted his entire public life to service. For six years, I have been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting where’s Hunter? Well, here’s my answer.

I’m ready. I am here. Yeah. You there. Let me state as clearly as I can. My father was not financially involved in my business cap, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist. During my battle with addiction, my parents were there for me.

They literally saved my life. They helped me in ways that I will never be able to repay, and, of course, they would never expect me to. And in the depths of my addiction, I was extremely irresponsible with my finances. But to suggest that his grounds for an impeachment inquiry is beyond the absurd, it’s shameless. He’s coming to the aid of his father. What did he do with his money? I need to know how Hunter Biden spent money.

Wow. One of the most stunning. Hold on. Wait. This is. This is December eigth. According to the New York Post, one of the most stunning revelations in first son Hunter Biden’s latest criminal indictment is that he withdrew more than 1. 66 million in cash over a four year period, during which, during some of which his autobiography claims he was using drugs almost continuously. The nine count charge he filed Thursday in Los Angeles federal court accuses Hunter, now 53, of dodging 1.

4 million in federal taxes from 2016 through 19. A handy table breaking down of the first son’s exponentials over the same period indicates he took out 1. 66 million from atms and cash machines alone. That’s a heck of a lot of money that you put going to the ATM. About an average of 1. 1 million each. An average of $1,100 every day, separate from the 680,000 he spent on various women.

Oh, my God. They saying that he spent at least 700,000 on various women. 700,000. 700,000. Wow. Tricking off on these holes. Come on, man. See, listen. They said he spent 700,000 tricking. Hold on, hold on. Let me get the rest of it. 700,000 while tricking allegedly. 400,000 on clothes and accessory and 190,000 on adult entertainment. While cash cannot be tracked easily with a paper trail, dozens of individual withdrawals are documented in files on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which show removals of between $802,000 per transaction from his Wells Fargo checking account.

On some days, he made as many as seven separate withdrawals, often the bank account balance neared empty as Hunter, a crack cocaine addict, wrote in his 2021 memoir, beautiful things, that he was blowing through money on getting high. In 2018 alone, the indictment shows Hunter withdrew more than $772,000 in cash, an average of 2100 each day of that year. Wow. They say he was using crack cocaine 24 hours a day, smoking every 15 minutes, seven days a week, according to the New York Post.

Oh, my God. This nigga was living like a rock star. He was living like a rock doll. Cut it off. Cut. Rod, I see you. I’m going to read that super chat truck. Hunter, get off. Hunter, this ain’t for you. Get on off. Get off, bro. Good God. Smoking every 15 minutes. This dude did it bigger than Led Zeppelin, Axel Rose, Kid Rock, DMX. Good God almighty. And who was putting all this money into his? Because I know he wasn’t working.

So if your bank account is near and empty every day and you’re not working and you ain’t doing no business and taking care of no business, where’s all of the money coming from? Good God almighty. We’re going to have to deep dive into Hunter Biden. There’s no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business, because it did not happen. You got them good teeth, though.

James Comer, Jim Jordan, Jason Smith and their colleagues have distorted the facts by cherry picking lines from a bank statement, manipulating texts I sent, editing the testimony of my friends and former business partners, and misstating personal information that was stolen from me. There is no fairness or decency in what these Republicans are doing. They have lied over and over about every aspect of my personal and professional life.

You wrote in your own memoir. Look, this is what he wrote. He wrote, after moving to California in 2018, went off and surrounded themselves with thieves, junkies, petty dealers, and over the hill strippers, con artists and assortment of hanger ons who then invited their friends and associates and most recent hookups. They latched on to me and they didn’t let go, all with my approval. I never slept. There was no clock.

Day bled in the night. Night bled in the day. A trail of dealers and their sidekicks rolled in and out day and night. Hunter wrote of this period during which he bounced between luxury hotels in Los Angeles and yet another passage exerted by prosecutors. He said they pulled up in a late series, Mercedes Benzes decked out in oversized raiders or Lakers jerseys, flashing fake Rolexes. Their stripper girlfriends invited their girlfriends, who invited their boyfriends.

They drink up the entire minibar, call room service for filet mignon and a bottle of Don Perrion, one of the women even ordered an additional fillet for her purse sized dog. Despite this aimless lifestyle, the feds claim Hunter tried to write off $388,000 of his expenses from 2008 as business related travel, despite having done little to no business in that year. So much so that their lies have become the false facts believed by too many people.

You wrote it. You wrote it. No matter how many times it is debunked, they continue to insist that my father’s support of Ukraine against Russia is the result of a non existent bribe. They displayed naked photos of me during an oversight hearing. And they have taken the light of my dad’s love. The light. Give me. Check this out. Result of a nonexistent bribe, they displayed naked photos of me.

If black sheep of the family and down bad was a definition or picture inside of the dictionary, you would be it, Hunter. If down bad during an oversight hearing. And they have taken the light of my dad’s love, the light of my dad’s love for me and presented it as darkness, they have no shame. Neither did you. These same committee chairmen have engaged in unprecedented political interference in what would have already been a five year investigation of me.

Sometimes people just need to just bow out. It’s not meant for you to be in front of the camera family. Yet here I am, Mr. Chairman, taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose. Well, I’ve chosen. I am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee’s legitimate questions. I got questions, Hunter, straight up.

I don’t want to spend an extraordinary amount of time on Hunter, but I certainly have some questions for you, sir. Man, if I was ever able to interview the best that is my grail interview is Hunter Biden. I’m sure I can get him to do it. I know I can get them to do it. Because, you know, sobriety only lasts as long as your last hit. That’s what my friends told me in Detroit.

Your sobriety only lasts as long as your last hit, bro. Good God almighty. .
