Hunter Biden: ‘I Probably Smoked More Parmesan Cheese Than Anyone You Know’

CBS News’ Tracy Smith asked Biden, “You wake up some mornings — I shouldn’t even say some mornings because you slept 15 minutes at a time and be looking for crack and to smoke whatever was there?”

Biden replied, “I spent more time on my hands and knees picking through rugs smoking anything that resembled crack cocaine.”

He then admitted he smoked cheese, admitting, “I probably smoked more Parmesan cheese than anyone – than anyone you know, Tracy.”

“And he said, he just cried, he said, ‘I don’t know what to do,” Biden the father and now president said. “I don’t know what to do. Please.’”

Hunter Biden responded to CBS News, “I thought, I need to figure out a way to tell him that I’m going to do something so that I can go take another hit.”

“That’s the only thing I could think,” Biden continued. “Literally, that’s how powerful.”

“I don’t know of a force more powerful than my family’s love, except addiction.” Hunter Biden said.

Hunter Biden Dodges Question About Laptop

In the same interview, CNN reports that Biden dodged questions about the infamous laptop that came to be known during the 2020 election. 

The New York Post had initially run articles revealing the existence of the laptop, allegedly belonging to Biden, which purportedly contained emails about his controversial foreign business ties. 

Social media platforms like Twitter banned accounts and limited sharing the story that could have been a damaging scandal to candidate Joe Biden.

In the CBS interview Sunday, Biden was asked if the laptop in question was his. 

“Certainly, there could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It could be that I was hacked, it could be that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me,” Biden responded.

It was later revealed that Biden was under federal criminal investigation relating to foreign business dealings, but it has not been revealed if the laptop is part of the investigation.
