President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, leading to a raucous scene as reporters tried to shout questions at him — including one intrepid reporter, who asked “what kind of crack” he preferred.
The younger Biden crashed a House Oversight Committee hearing — while members met to discuss a contempt citation against him for defying an earlier subpoena — and as he attempted to exit the building afterward, reporters swarmed him and shouted their questions in the hopes that they’d be acknowledged.

Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell attempted to quiet the crowd, promising that he would answer questions if they would just calm down and allow him to make a statement on behalf of his client.
No sooner had he made that request than one reporter shouted, “What kind of crack do you normally smoke, Mr. Biden?”
Biden was also asked, according to Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry, whether he was high right then.
“As Hunter Biden suddenly fled the contempt hearing over his subpoena defiance, ending a surprise appearance he staged with Democrats, reporters and others shouted a number of questions at him in the hallway, including ‘Hunter, are you on crack right now?'” Sperry posted via X.

In another video clip posted to X, a reporter could be heard asking, “What’s your favorite type of crack?” and then, “Are you on crack today?”

The hearing itself was equally contentious, with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-N.C.) asking who had “bribed” the president’s son to show up to the hearing — and then arguing with his attorney, who tried to talk over her.

“Who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today? That’s my first question. Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege … what are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here …”

Biden then abruptly exited as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene weighed in, and she called him “a coward” as he got up and walked away.
