Hunter Biden, the President’s son, has made headlines after photos emerged of Hunter allegedly smoking crack while driving a car.
In the video, which was taken in June 2018, Hunter can be seen smoking what appears to be a crack through a pipe whilst driving through a local neighborhood.
The New York Post also reports that another video, dated a month later, captures Hunter allegedly driving at 172 mph on route to Las Vegas.

There were also various messages left on his laptop from women who he was planning on partying with during his trip to Las Vegas.
The photos and messages were released on a website called BidenLaptopMedia.com which is run by an organization called Marco Polo that Trump’s former White House Aid Garret Ziegler allegedly heads.
The website made thousands of Hunter’s private videos, photos and messages available for everyone to see.
The collection of Hunter’s data dates from 2008, when he launched his consultancy Seneca Global Advisors, to 2019, when his father began campaigning for president.
The photos were found on Hunter’s laptop, which was apparently abandoned at a computer shop in Delaware back in 2019.
While the 53-year-old attorney did not injure himself or others in the two clips, Hunter revealed in Beautiful Things, his 2021 memoir, that he was involved in a car crash back in 2016 when he was driving while high.
Throughout his memoir, he confessed to his history with drugs, saying: “I’ve bought crack cocaine on the streets of Washington, DC, and cooked up my own inside a hotel bungalow in Los Angeles.”
“In the last five years alone, my two-decades-long marriage has dissolved, guns have been put in my face, and at one point I dropped clean off the grid, living in $59-a-night Super 8 motels off I-95 while scaring my family even more than myself.”
Despite the ex-navy sailors' open battle with drugs, the Biden family have stuck by and supported him.
When asked about Hunter’s drug use in a 2020 presidential debate, his father, President Joe Biden, said: “My son, like a lot of people at home, had a drug problem.”
“He’s overtaking it. He’s fixed it. He’s worked on it. And I’m proud of him, I’m proud of my son.”
