Hi, Scott Simon here with a special episode.
Conversation from our sister show, Newsmakers, home of NPR's biggest interviews.
Today, Hunter Biden.
I was on a plane once, seven years sober, and nothing was going wrong.
And somebody asked me if I wanted a drink.
And 10 years later, I woke up in a motel with a crack pipe.
My dad got older before people's eyes, and I think that made them very nervous.
You were pardoned by your father?
Yes, thank God.
Did that open the door for President Trump to pardon some of his supporters, including the January 6th gang?
I think that that is an insane argument.
Hunter Biden has been all over the Internet lately.
He's trolled President Trump and discussed his past struggles with addiction.
But he's also made appearances with some fierce critics,
including the conservative podcaster and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens.
We sat down with Hunter Biden in NPR studios in New York City this week.
He told us he had nothing left to hide.
You've been speaking out so much in the past few months on lots of different platforms.
I'm struck by your first post on X, though.
Back in May was, I'm Hunter Biden.
