HUNTER Biden has denied that a bag of cocaine found in the White House during his dad’s presidency was his in a bizarre new interview.
The controversial former first son sat down for a three-hour interview just weeks after the FBI announced they would reopen the case of the mystery cocaine found two years ago.

The Secret Service found cocaine in the White House in July 2023 and closed the investigation just 10 days after the discovery, blaming a lack of evidence.
Speculation swirled that Hunter, 55, was responsible for the dime-sized bag because of his long and well-documented history of substance abuse.
Now, in an interview with popular YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, Hunter broke his silence on the scandal.
“I have not touched a drop of alcohol or a drug, and I’m incredibly proud of that,” Hunter said during the interview.
“Why would I bring cocaine into the White House and stick it into a cubby outside of the situation room in the West Wing?”
In May, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that the agency is looking into cases with “potential public interest,” which includes the found cocaine.
Bongino said he would receive weekly briefings about the FBI’s progress in investigating these cases and asked people to send in tips.
The mysterious cocaine, which was found over the July 4 holiday weekend, was found in an area that hundreds of people could have accessed, the White House said.
Officials said there was no security footage of the incident.
The renewed interest in the case comes after President Donald Trump said he was convinced the drugs belonged to “either Joe or Hunter” after returning to the White House.
Hunter was addicted to crack for years, and many of his drug-fueled antics were caught on videos leaked from his laptop in another White House scandal.
His rare interview with Channel 5 comes after Callaghan, known for documentary-style independent journalism, told his subscribers it would be the “craziest interview ever.”
Hunter, who has recently fallen into financial trouble, said he was interested in speaking to Callaghan after they met through mutual friends because he enjoyed his interview style.

HUNTER BIDEN’S DRUG HISTORY
The former president’s son went on to speak about his history with drugs during the conversation, which appeared to be casual and full of expletives.
“I was drinking so much alcohol, almost a handle of vodka a day,” he admitted.
“And alcohol is the most destructive drug, not just to your body, but it puts you in more danger than any other drug that I’ve ever experienced.”
He continued, “And then you add on top of that the amount of crack that I was using at the time.
“And crack cocaine, in terms of your physical health, is not as dangerous as the situation that you put yourself in to be able to obtain it.”
Hunter was found guilty of three felony gun charges in June 2024 after he lied about his drug use on a federal background check form.
Then, in December 2024, then-President Joe Biden issued a full pardon to his son, throwing out his gun conviction and potential sentence.
‘DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS’
Hunter spoke about his father’s decision to drop out of his reelection campaign against Trump in the fall.
He said the former president had an “absolutely horrible” debate against Trump that prompted the decision to step down.
“He’s 81 years old, he’s tired as s**t. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep,” Hunter said about his dad.
“He gets up on the stage and looks like he’s a deer in the headlights, and it feeds into every f**king story that anybody wants to tell.”
Joe Biden announced in May that he has an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
