Drug addiction, depravity, cheating with his dead brother's widow... and very murky finances: the explosive book by the ex-wife of Joe Biden's scandal-ravaged son Hunter that is causing a new nightmare for the President
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] They’d been married for 22 years when Kathleen Buhle made the appalling discovery in 2015 that her husband, the father of her three daughters, was hopelessly addicted to drink, drugs and sex.
‘I found hundreds [of credit card charges] at liquor stores and strip clubs,’ she writes. ‘The whole time, he told me he was healthy and sober — and I was crazy. I continually told him that I was the one person actually trying to get him sober. It became my own kind of addiction.’
While this sort of tale of sordid excess certainly has a familiar ring to it, Kathleen wasn’t married to yet another troubled Hollywood star but to Hunter Biden, the son of the U.S. President.
Kathleen would later learn that Hunter — whom she’d met when they were serving together in their 20s in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps — frequently hired prostitutes, obsessively trawled through internet porn and had such a serious drug problem that she found a crack cocaine pipe in their ashtray.
Worst of all, he had an affair with his own brother’s widow — a shocking development even for someone as depraved as Hunter, 52, and a discovery that Kathleen reveals was only made after their children saw incriminating text messages on his phone.
Kathleen, 53, who finally divorced Hunter in 2017, has broken her silence about their sordid marriage in a revealing new autobiography, If We Break: A Memoir Of Marriage, Addiction, And Healing is due to be published next week — but early extracts have already left White House officials nervous. From what they’ve read, it is clear the Biden family will not be spared any blushes.
While the Biden camp has in the past been able to dismiss any focus on Hunter as political trouble-stirring — with the New York Times and Washington Post even claiming it was Kremlin disinformation — it will be much harder to change the subject when the criticism comes from his long-suffering ex-wife, a close friend of Michelle Obama.
And for the President, the timing really couldn’t be worse. Amid continuing questions over his mental alertness, he’s floundering badly in the polls, with the expectation that the forthcoming November midterm elections will hammer the Democrats.
And then there’s the potentially awkward — and still unanswered — questions over emails retrieved from a damaged computer of Hunter’s which he abandoned in a repair shop in April 2019 and which appear to contradict Joe’s repeated insistence that his son never discussed his shady business affairs with him.
