died of ░░░░░░░░ cancer in 2015 Hunter ░░░░░░░░ he was binge drinking ░░░░░░░░ so heavily that his ░░░░░░░░ intervened H Biden He ░░░░░░░░ to my apartment one ░░░░░░░░ and this was when ░░░░░░░░ was still in office ░░░░░░░░ vice president so he ░░░░░░░░ the Secret Service figured ░░░░░░░░ a way to get ░░░░░░░░ to the house And ░░░░░░░░ said What are you ░░░░░░░░ here He said Hunter ░░░░░░░░ are

smoked more Parmesan cheese ░░░░░░░░ anyone Laughs anyone that ░░░░░░░░ know I m sure ░░░░░░░░ Smith Because there would ░░░░░░░░ be crumbs mixed in ░░░░░░░░ Biden Yeah I mean ░░░░░░░░ went one time for ░░░░░░░░ days without sleeping and ░░░░░░░░ crack and drinking vodka ░░░░░░░░ throughout that entire time ░░░░░░░░ voice over Hunter Biden ░░░░░░░░ struggle with her personal ░░░░░░░░ is a big part ░░░░░░░░ his new book from ░░░░░░░░ imprint of Simon Schuster ░░░░░░░░ Viacom CBS company The ░░░░░░░░ Beautiful Things is a ░░░░░░░░ he and his brother ░░░░░░░░ to remind each other ░░░░░░░░ the

over Beau ░░░░░░░░ death shook the entire ░░░░░░░░ family but the way ░░░░░░░░ dealt with his grief ░░░░░░░░ headlines when he began ░░░░░░░░ his brother s widow ░░░░░░░░ After Beau died you ░░░░░░░░ a romantic relationship with ░░░░░░░░ his widow H Biden ░░░░░░░░ Smith When the news ░░░░░░░░ that broke how people ░░░░░░░░ at you H Biden ░░░░░░░░ think people were confused ░░░░░░░░ that And I understand ░░░░░░░░ I mean I really ░░░░░░░░ To me it s ░░░░░░░░ something that is difficult ░░░░░░░░ explain because it came ░░░░░░░░ of a real overwhelming ░░░░░░░░ that we both shared ░░░░░░░░ we were together and ░░░░░░░░ to do the right ░░░░░░░░ and that grief turned ░░░░░░░░ a hope for a ░░░░░░░░ that maybe could replace ░░░░░░░░ we lost And it ░░░░░░░░ t work It didn ░░░░░░░░ work Smith I mean ░░░░░░░░ said you lost clients ░░░░░░░░ this You lost business ░░░░░░░░ this H Biden Yeah ░░░░░░░░ Smith You had to ░░░░░░░░ down from the World ░░░░░░░░ Program H Biden Yeah ░░░░░░░░ Well I made a ░░░░░░░░ of decisions that I ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t have made ░░░░░░░░ was a lot more ░░░░░░░░ and understanding from the ░░░░░░░░ that knew me But ░░░░░░░░ was a horrible time ░░░░░░░░ Smith voice over And ░░░░░░░░ there is this In ░░░░░░░░ the younger Biden took ░░░░░░░░ job on the board ░░░░░░░░ a Ukrainian energy company ░░░░░░░░ Holdings at the time ░░░░░░░░ father who was then ░░░░░░░░ president had an active ░░░░░░░░ in U S policy ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine It raised eyebrows ░░░░░░░░ the time but by ░░░░░░░░ 2020 elections Hunter Biden ░░░░░░░░ the center of a ░░░░░░░░ firestorm Trump Hunter got ░░░░░░░░ out of the military ░░░░░░░░ was thrown out dishonorably ░░░░░░░░ J Biden That s ░░░░░░░░ true he wasn t ░░░░░░░░ dicharged Trump for cocaine ░░░░░░░░ And he didn t ░░░░░░░░ a job until you ░░░░░░░░ vice president J Biden ░░░░░░░░ of that is true ░░░░░░░░ Once you became vice ░░░░░░░░ he made a fortune ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine and China and ░░░░░░░░ and various other places ░░░░░░░░ Biden That is simply ░░░░░░░░ true Smith Looking back ░░░░░░░░ you make a mistake ░░░░░░░░ a spot on that ░░░░░░░░ H Biden No I ░░░░░░░░ t think I made ░░░░░░░░ mistake in taking a ░░░░░░░░ on that board I ░░░░░░░░ I made a mistake ░░░░░░░░ terms of underestimating the ░░░░░░░░ in which it would ░░░░░░░░ used against me Smith ░░░░░░░░ you must have seen ░░░░░░░░ optics Even back then ░░░░░░░░ must have I mean ░░░░░░░░ could you not have ░░░░░░░░ that this was going ░░░░░░░░ look bad H Biden ░░░░░░░░ I really didn t ░░░░░░░░ m being as honest ░░░░░░░░ you as I possibly ░░░░░░░░ All I know is ░░░░░░░░ not one investigative bod ░░░░░░░░ one serious journalist has ░░░░░░░░ accused has ever come ░░░░░░░░ the conclusion that I ░░░░░░░░ anything wrong or that ░░░░░░░░ father did anything wrong ░░░░░░░░ voice over But the ░░░░░░░░ lived on In October ░░░░░░░░ a New York Post ░░░░░░░░ said that e mails ░░░░░░░░ showing shady dealings in ░░░░░░░░ by Hunter Biden were ░░░░░░░░ on a laptop computer ░░░░░░░░ he supposedly left in ░░░░░░░░ Delaware repair shop in ░░░░░░░░ The details were sketchy ░░░░░░░░ best And last month ░░░░░░░░ declassified intelligence report said ░░░░░░░░ before
