First Son Hunter Biden appeared before the House Oversight Committee this week for a closed-door hearing. Biden’s opening remarks were released to the press, however, along with a few interesting details regarding the Biden family influence-peddling accusations.

For example, the now-infamous “I’m sitting here with my father” text that Hunter Biden sent to a Chinese businessman asking for $5 million dollars is something Hunter readily admits — but he also claims he was “high or drunk” at the time.

It was Hunter playing “the drug card” in the face of allegations of impropriety and avoiding lying under oath, according to House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., to Newsmax‘s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”

“Hunter admitted that he was high or drunk when he sent the ‘sitting here with my father’ WhatsApp message, sent it to the wrong recipient, and is now embarrassed by the message,” according to a reported readout of Hunter Biden’s official closed-door testimony Wednesday before the House impeachment investigators, the New York Post and Daily Mail reported.

The shakedown of the Chinese state-linked CEFC China Energy is at the crux of the Biden family “foreign influence peddling” case put forward by Comer, alleging Hunter Biden profited off his father’s political clout, making now-President Biden potentially connected to an impeachable high crime or misdemeanor.

Extortion is the crime of forcing payment by threats or misuse of authority and Hunter Biden’s reported testimony provides at least the appearance of that through the foreign business dealings.

“He played the drug card a lot,” Comer told host Rob Schmitt hours after the nearly seven-hour closed-door testimony.
