The laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden continues to provide the media juicy material. This time it is a video from January 2019 in which the president's son can reportedly be seen filming himself naked, smoking "drugs" and fondling himself inside a sensory deprivation tank during a detoxification program funded by his father, reported the Daily Mail.
Hunter, 52, appears bathed in a green light as he floats naked and plays with his parts in a video apparently taken by a cell phone.
At one point, he grabs what appears to be a crack pipe, which he lights with a matchstick before taking several puffs and staring into the camera as some sort of techno music plays in the background.
According to the Daily Mail's report, a therapist friend of Hunter's urged him to visit the spa, seeking help in his battle to quit drugs.
A month before this "event," Hunter had sent a text message to his father, Joe, complaining that he didn't have enough money for the treatment program, in addition to the bills and child support he had to pay his family.
"Hi Dad, I've been trying to solve some immediate financial problems: child support tuition and my bill for this program but the cash I'm counting on won't arrive until the end of the week. Is it possible for you to make me another short-term loan for the same amount and I'll pay it back no later than ten days?"
"I am very embarrassed to ask and I know it is unfair of me to put you in that position at this time," Hunter wrote on Dec. 4, 2018.
"Hunt tell me what you need. No problem," the future president replied at the time. "Okay, how do you want to do this? I can pay the tuition directly and your housing and give you the rest."
Biden senior sent a message again on Dec. 6 to confirm, "You are being sent 75 today. I love you".
The video and corresponding messages are the latest compromising materials recovered from the backup of iPhone data on Hunter's abandoned MacBook pro, the so-called "laptop from hell."
According to the Daily Mail, there is no evidence that Blue Water Wellness staff were involved in his drug abuse or that anyone else knew what the father of five was doing while resting naked and alone in the insulated tank.
