Hunter Biden speaks about love for family amid

In an exclusive interview with Candace Owens, former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, opened up about his struggles with drug dependancy and his father’s presidency.

The two mentioned how dependancy often impacts the addict’s family, with Owens speaking about how she, too, had uncles and cousins in her family who had been addicts, which led to her having a unfavourable outlook toward Hunter.

However, Hunter told Owens that, despite their variations, the pair had a “common ground” in dealing with dependancy. Hunter then told Owens about a quote that a buddy had handed along to him.

“If you want to change the world, go home and love your family,” said Hunter, attributing the quote to Mother Teresa. According to the previous first son, the quote had grow to be his “mantra” during his recovery.

Hunte’s declaration of love for his family comes as his relationship with his daughter, Navy, stays strained. Born in 2018 to Hunter and Lunden Roberts, Hunter initially denied being the kid’s father, but a paternity lawsuit “established with scientific certainty” that he was, according to court filings in Arkansas.

The long-standing baby assist dispute between Biden and Roberts was settled in 2023 after he agreed to pay an undisclosed quantity in baby assist until Navy turns 18 and help in setting up a school fund for her. A month later, then-President Joe Biden and first woman Jill acknowledged Navy as their granddaughter for the first time in a assertion to PEOPLE magazine.

“Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward,” the Bidens said in the statement. They added that this was “not a political issue” but a “family matter” and that he and Jill Biden “only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”

In the interview with Owens, Biden spoke at length about his addiction issues. He likened drug addiction to social media usage and how it was causing rifts among people and said, “That bag of heroin in everybody’s pocket is feeding the division.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Hunter commented that he “was a crackhead.” The admission got here in a preview clip for the episode Owens posted on Monday, with various clips spliced together to discuss the FBI seizure of Hunter’s laptop and Hunter being found guilty on three felony gun charges.

“I heard you call me a crackhead many times, and the truth of the matter is I was a crackhead,” Hunter bluntly admitted in the teaser trailer.

The interview also answered questions surrounding the former first son when cocaine was discovered in the White House in 2023. “I wasn’t even there,” Hunter told Owens.

According to Hunter, the drugs were found in a cubby right outside of the situation room. “There is no chance, not even remotely, past the fact that I wasn’t even there,” he added.

Hunter said he’d only spent about 25 days in the White House over the course of four years, and that he was an “simple goal” to blame for possession of the drug. At the time of the invention, President Donald Trump publicly speculated that the small bag belonged to “either Joe or Hunter,” despite offering no evidence.
