Hunter Biden claimed Monday that his father’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump last year was partly due to President Biden taking Ambien, despite no public record of such a prescription.
“I know exactly what happened in that debate,” the 55-year-old told YouTube host Andrew Callaghan in an interview released on the anniversary of Biden’s early exit from the 2024 race.
“He flew around the world. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep and he gets up on the stage and looks like a deer in the headlights.”

A note released by Dr. Kevin O’Connor following Biden’s physical exam that February makes note of six medications the commander-in-chief was taking, but the popular sleeping aid is not one of them.
