Hunter Biden is offering one of his most candid reflections yet on the personal impact his years-long battle with addiction had on his family.

In a new interview, he claimed that the consequences extended well beyond his own life and admitted that his struggles took a significant emotional toll on those closest to him.

In an interview with BBC Newsnight published Friday, Hunter Biden acknowledged that his addiction “of course” made life more difficult for former President Joe Biden and believes it also affected his father’s health.

The interview comes as the Biden family continues to navigate a series of personal and political challenges that have unfolded in recent years. While discussing his recovery, Hunter Biden spoke openly about his relationship with his father and the burden he believes his addiction placed on the former president.

When interviewer Paddy O’Connell asked whether his addiction had changed life for his father, Hunter Biden answered without hesitation.
