Fox News host Sean Hannity aired a voicemail left by President Joe Biden for his son Hunter Biden during his show on Monday as the president’s son may be facing federal charges.
Hannity played the audio which had been obtained by The Daily Mail and was reportedly recorded on October 15, 2018—three days after Hunter Biden allegedly made a false statement while purchasing a gun.
The Washington Post reported last week that federal agents investigating Hunter Biden believe there may be enough evidence to bring charges against him for that gun purchase as well as alleged tax crimes.
His foreign business dealings could also become the subject of congressional investigations if Republicans take control of the House of Representatives in this year’s midterm elections.
In the 2018 voicemail, Joe Biden can be heard to say: “It’s Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I know you don’t know what to do. I don’t either.”
Hunter Biden has been open about his history of drug use and his struggles with addiction, while his father has previously said he’s proud of his son for overcoming addiction.
After he aired the voicemail on Monday, Hannity said: “It’s actually sad.”
“By the way, replace the name Biden with Trump and imagine how the mob and the media would be covering all of this,” the Fox News host added. “Instead, they’d rather perpetuate one hoax after another, just like they did with the dirty Steele dossier.”
Hannity was referring to a disputed opposition research report about former President Donald Trump which contained many claims that have not been verified.
Some social media users were critical of Hannity for airing the voicemail and defended Biden’s comments to his son.
“A parent expressing love and concern for their child is scandalous? Not sure I understand,” wrote podcast host Rachel Vindman.
Journalist Aaron Rupar shared a still showing a quote from the voicemail displayed during Hannity’s show and wrote: “what a monster.”
Newsweek has asked the White House and an attorney for Hunter Biden for comment.
In a statement to The Washington Post last week, Chris Clark, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, accused investigators of leaking information which he said was a federal felony.
“As is proper and legally required, we believe the prosecutors in this case are diligently and thoroughly weighing not just evidence provided by agents, but also all the other witnesses in this case, including witnesses for the defense. That is the job of the prosecutors. They should not be pressured, rushed, or criticized for doing their job,” Clark said.
The Mail said on Monday that the voicemail had been left on an “abandoned laptop” belonging to Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden has been a focus of controversy since the 2020 presidential election, with former President Trump taking aim at him during a debate with then former Vice President Biden.
“My son, like a lot of people … had a drug problem,” Biden said in response to Trump at the time. “He’s overtaken it. He’s fixed it. He’s worked on it. And I’m proud of him.”
I absolutely think Joe Biden has a cognitive problem, but the more I read about his past I think he’s just plain dumb.
This hidenbiden cartel, needs to be arrested, and held accountable, for selling out our country to our adversaries. Traitor joe, and his crackhead son, have done more damage, than anyone could possibly imagine, and their still putting our country in the gravest danger of a nuclear attack on America.
Robert Richey I agree with you on most of it. Dumb ? I don’t think so. A liar yes and a person who will say anything to sway the people to believing him. This ” person” is spineless, a coward, an liar, a traitor and a commie. He has one goal and one only, to destroy America, its Bill of Rights and constitution. Everything he dose is with intent.
He’s a hollow puppet- it’s his puppeteers, at the controls, who truly hate this great country of ours!
The only way people are going to wake up is a nuke land in our backyard or it continues to get worse a civil war will break out.
The Republicans can’t have only a few doing all the work. RINOS continue to get outted or resign so that helps but they MUST start playing rough before grandpa underpants, his walking mattress of a VP who has done absolutely nothing as well as others like the rest of the Bidens, Pelosi, Clintons, Waters, Warren, Nadler, Schiff, Schumer, the squad, the joke of the leftist media protecting the garbage, and many others from that administration. Democrats all MUST be held accountable for putting this country and its citizens at risk; whether it be prison or capital punishment like they did with Nazi’s in Nuremberg. They called Republicans dictators and Nazi’s? I don’t think so! Look at who is destroying the country, not the Republicans. It’s been the Democrats since Obama and has been all along. This country has been in the worst it has EVER been and you cannot ignore incompetence any longer.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUST BE DISSOLVED PERMANENTLY AS IT IS NOW A PARTY OF SOCIALISTS, MARXISTS, AND COMMUNISTS. IT REPRESENTS DESTRUCTION, TERRORISM, RACISM, DICTATORSHIP, LAWLESSNESS, GREED, IMMORALITY, LACK OF ETHICS, INTEGRITY, HONESTY, FOLLOWERS THAT ARE THE GUTTER TRASH OF SOCIETY, CRIMINALS OF ALL TYPES, WELFARE ABUSERS, CORRUPTORS OF CHILDREN, WOKE, INCLUDING FIRST AND FOREMOST PEOPLE THAT ARE PURE EVIL WITH HATEFUL INTENTIONS.
DO NOT LOSE OUR COUNTRY TO THESE PEOPLE!
