In a bold and unfiltered interview, Hunter Biden broke his silence on years of controversy, diving into his personal struggles, family politics, and even teasing a potential run for the White House.
The nearly three-hour conversation took place with YouTube journalist Andrew Callaghan on Channel 5 — a platform known for gritty, street-level reporting. The result? One of the most unpredictable and revealing sit-downs Hunter has ever given.
Candid Confessions About Addiction and Recovery
Hunter didn’t hold back when speaking about his history with substance abuse. At times, he appeared shockingly casual as he discussed the depths of his addiction — including how he once made crack cocaine himself.
But it was alcohol, he said, that nearly destroyed him.
“I was drinking close to a handle of vodka every day,” he revealed. “Alcohol is, by far, the most dangerous drug I’ve experienced — not just physically, but emotionally and socially.”
He explained that while crack cocaine was damaging, it was the risky environments and decisions required to obtain it that truly endangered him.
Federal Gun Charges and Presidential Pardon
Hunter’s drug history eventually caught up to him. In 2024, he was convicted on federal charges for lying about his drug use when buying a firearm.
That same year, his father — then-President Joe Biden — issued a full pardon, wiping the conviction from the record. The move sparked national debate but solidified the administration’s stance on second chances and family loyalty.
White House Cocaine Scandal: Hunter Responds
One of the most sensational scandals of 2023 involved a mysterious bag of cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House.
Although the investigation closed within days and Hunter was never officially named, speculation has swirled for years — fueled by political opponents and internet conspiracies.
Hunter addressed it directly in the interview:
“I’ve been clean for a long time. Why would I bring drugs into the White House and stash them in a public cubby near the Situation Room?”
He also noted that the recent reopening of the case by the FBI gave him a chance to reassert his innocence.
Attacking Trump and Bukele: “I’d Handle It Differently”
When asked about U.S. immigration policy and deportations to El Salvador, Hunter’s response was fiery and explicit.
He blasted both Donald Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, calling them “thugs” and “dictators.” In a hypothetical scenario, he claimed he’d take aggressive diplomatic or even military steps if he were in office.
“If I were president,” he said, “I’d call El Salvador and say, ‘Send them back or I’ll invade.’ What’s happening is a crime.”
The comments raised eyebrows — and added fuel to growing speculation that Hunter might be eyeing a political career.
Is a 2028 Presidential Run on the Table?
Though he has never held a political office, Hunter hinted that he might enter the arena — possibly even aiming for the Oval Office in 2028.
“Two years from now, four years — who knows?” he said. “But I won’t stand by while people like Trump or Bukele go unchecked.”
While some dismissed the comments as bluster, others saw a man testing the waters.
Feud with George Clooney Explodes On Camera
The interview took a turn when Hunter unleashed an expletive-laced rant against actor George Clooney.
Clooney, a longtime Democratic donor and activist, had publicly called for Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race due to health concerns. Hunter didn’t take the criticism lightly.
“Forget George Clooney,” he snapped. “He’s not an actor anymore — he’s just a brand.”
Insiders say tensions between Clooney and the Bidens have simmered since a 2024 fundraiser, where President Biden reportedly failed to recognize the actor in the crowd.
The Laptop That Won’t Go Away
Hunter also addressed the notorious laptop allegedly left at a Delaware repair shop in 2020. The device became a political lightning rod — filled with private photos, messages, and documents — some of which were tied to international business dealings in China and Ukraine.
But according to Hunter, the laptop is a fabrication.
“There is no laptop,” he claimed. “It’s just one big rabbit hole created by people who want to destroy my reputation.”
He believes the online obsession with the phrase “Hunter Biden laptop” has created a biased narrative that overshadows the truth.

Love him or loathe him, he’s no longer staying silent. Whether it leads to a run for office or more public scrutiny, one thing is clear: Hunter Biden is ready to speak — and doesn’t care who he offends.
