Episode summary
In this short clip from Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom, Williamson asks Hunter Biden directly whether the bag of cocaine discovered at the White House in 2023 belonged to him. Biden says it did not, and argues he could not have been responsible because he had not been at the White House for “6 weeks to a month” when it was found. He then describes, in some detail, the access routes he says he used while under Secret Service protection—entering via the South Lawn to reach the residence—contrasting this with his description of where the cocaine was reportedly discovered: cubbies located near the West Executive Avenue entrance used by White House staff and visitors coming from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building into the West Wing area.
The conversation mixes humour with admissions about past drug use; Biden says, “I smoke crack,” while insisting the White House incident was not connected to him. Williamson floats the idea the drugs could have been planted, and Biden says he would not put that “past any of these guys”, though he does not specify who. Biden also mentions frequent drug testing by federal probation, describing surprise visits and supervision during the process, as part of his account of being monitored while in recovery.
The clip ends with a brief exchange where Biden dismisses the idea of running for office, joking that doing so in the next few years would indicate he had relapsed, followed by an electrolyte drink advertisement and a prompt to watch the full episode.
