Seven years sober
Hunter Biden was marking a personal milestone this week when he shared a video celebrating seven years of sobriety. For Hunter Biden, whose struggles with addiction have been extensively documented over the years, the anniversary represented a significant achievement. "Seven years, clean and sober," he said in the video. "I'm more proud of that than anything I've ever done in my life."
The post quickly attracted both messages of support and criticism. Among the replies was a user who referenced the small bag of cocaine discovered inside the White House. The incident eventually sparked widespread speculation and a Secret Service investigation. "Bulls***. That was your bag of coke in the White House," the user wrote.

Hunter Biden's response was brief but drew attention online. "It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs," he replied, poking fun at the accusation rather than engaging with it directly.
Cocaine found in the White House
In July 2023, a bag of cocaine was discovered in White House's West Wing. The discovery became a major talking point during Joe Biden's presidency, particularly among conservative commentators who frequently targeted Hunter Biden over his past substance abuse issues. Despite extensive investigations, authorities were unable to determine who left the substance inside the White House.
The latest exchange comes nearly two years after Hunter Biden's legal troubles dominated headlines. In 2024, he was convicted on federal firearms charges and later pleaded guilty in a separate tax case. Months later, then-President Joe Biden issued a pardon for his son, arguing that he had been unfairly singled out for prosecution.
The topic of addiction has also resurfaced within the Biden family in recent weeks. Former First Lady Jill Biden recently said she wished she had spoken more openly about Hunter's battle with substance abuse while living in the White House.
In her memoir, she reflected on the family's struggle to come to terms with his addiction, admitting there were periods when they were partly in denial about the severity of the problem.
