Rep. Harriet Hageman: Hunter Biden’s Addictions as a Double-Edged Sword
Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman, a member of the House Oversight Committee, revealed in an exclusive interview with The Federalist that Hunter Biden used addiction as an escape when faced with tough questions.
Whenever Biden was confronted with difficult inquiries, Hageman described his response as, “I don’t know, I don’t remember, because I was addicted at that time.” One notable instance was when Biden couldn’t recall a meeting between his father and Chinese business leaders. Biden also feigned ignorance about the exact amount the family received from Chinese companies, while insisting that every transaction was legal and ethical.
“He was extremely well prepared,” Hageman commented on Biden’s closed-door deposition. “His attorneys had spent days and days with him to ensure he had his story down pat.”
However, when pressed for details, Hageman noted that Biden often responded with, “Well, I don’t have a memory of that.” Biden’s attorneys were also aggressive in deflecting difficult questions.
Hageman questioned Biden’s ability to handle multimillion-dollar deals with international partners given his history of addiction.
“Based on the photographs, information from the laptop, and details from your book, it’s hard to see you as a responsible professional,” Hageman told Biden during the deposition. In response, Biden displayed what Hageman described as “shockingly arrogant” behavior.
“There are people in this room who suffer from alcoholism and still function,” Biden retorted.
Hageman asked if Biden had informed his associates about his substance abuse.
“It was fairly obvious I had a problem,” Biden replied.
Hageman stated that Biden’s testimony confirmed what lawmakers already suspected, which was that his board positions were solely due to his last name, as he had nothing else to offer besides access to his father.
In his deposition, Hunter Biden confirmed the access his father provided, which had been testified to by other witnesses.

During a trip to California, Hunter Biden admitted that his father had a meeting with Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner turned whistleblower who accused the president of being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party.
“He met him in the hotel lobby,” Hunter Biden stated, according to the transcript of the interview released on Thursday.
Bobulinski testified before lawmakers in February, stating that Joe Biden was the brand his family used to sell to foreign adversaries as he prepared for his presidential campaign.
“[Biden’s] family’s foreign influence peddling operation, from China to Ukraine and elsewhere, sold out to foreign actors seeking influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government,” Bobulinski claimed. “Joe Biden was not just a participant and beneficiary of his family’s business, but an enabler, protected by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.”
During the deposition, Hunter Biden also confirmed that he frequently put his father on speakerphone when meeting with clients. Former family business partner Devon Archer testified that Hunter Biden put foreign businessmen and potential investors on speakerphone with Joe Biden at least two dozen times.
“Yes, that probably did happen,” Hunter Biden admitted. “I always answer his call, based on my life’s experience.”
House Republicans interviewed Hunter Biden as part of an impeachment inquiry, which revealed the Bidens’ involvement with over 20 shell companies, most of which were established during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
Hunter Biden’s testimony not only supports previous witnesses but also contradicts his father’s vehement denials during the presidential campaign. Joe Biden repeatedly claimed that he never discussed business matters with his son, “or with anyone else,” and even insulted an Iowa voter who raised the issue in 2019. During a town hall, the voter questioned Hunter Biden’s position on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, despite lacking relevant experience.
“You’re a damn liar, man,” Joe Biden responded, challenging the voter to do push-ups.

How did Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman gain insight into Hunter Biden’s behavior during closed-door depositions?
Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman recently conducted an exclusive interview with The Federalist, shedding light on Hunter Biden’s use of addiction as an escape mechanism when faced with difficult questions. As a member of the House Oversight Committee, Hageman has gained insight into Biden’s behavior during closed-door depositions.
According to Hageman, whenever Biden was confronted with challenging inquiries, his response was often along the lines of “I don’t know, I don’t remember because I was addicted at that time.” This excuse was notably used when Biden couldn’t recall a meeting between his father, Joe Biden, and Chinese business leaders. Additionally, Biden feigned ignorance about the exact amount his family received from Chinese companies, while maintaining that every transaction was legal and ethical.
Hageman remarked that Biden seemed extremely well-prepared during his deposition, with his attorneys spending significant time helping him craft his story. However, when pressed for details, Biden frequently responded with ”Well, I don’t have a memory of that.” Hageman also noted that Biden’s attorneys were aggressive in deflecting difficult questions.
Given Biden’s history of addiction, Hageman questioned his ability to handle multimillion-dollar deals with international partners. During the deposition, Hageman told Biden that it was challenging to perceive him as a responsible professional based on photographs, information from his laptop, and details from various sources. In response, Biden displayed what Hageman described as ”shockingly arrogant” behavior.
When Hageman asked if Biden had informed his associates about his substance abuse, he replied, “It was fairly obvious I had a problem.” This confirmation from Biden further solidified lawmakers’ suspicions that his board positions were solely based on his last name, as he had little else to offer besides access to his influential father.
Furthermore, Hunter Biden’s deposition confirmed the access provided by his father, as has been testified by other witnesses. During a trip to California, Hunter Biden admitted that his father had a meeting with Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner turned whistleblower who accused the president of being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party.
Bobulinski testified before lawmakers, stating that Joe Biden served as the brand for his family’s foreign influence peddling operation, selling access to foreign adversaries as the president prepared for his presidential campaign. According to Bobulinski, Joe Biden was not only a participant and beneficiary of his family’s business ventures but also an enabler, shielded by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.
During the deposition, Hunter Biden also confirmed that he frequently put his father on speakerphone when meeting with clients. Former family business partner Devon Archer testified that Hunter Biden put foreign businessmen and potential investors on speakerphone with Joe Biden at least two dozen times.
House Republicans conducted the interview with Hunter Biden as part of an impeachment inquiry, which revealed the Bidens’ involvement with various business schemes. These schemes aimed to hide payments from foreign adversaries. The interview provided insight into the extensive influence and access the Bidens had to the United States government.
The revelations from Hageman’s interview contribute to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Hunter Biden’s activities and raise further questions about the extent of the Biden family’s involvement in questionable business dealings. With more information coming to light, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact public perception and potentially influence future political investigations.
