In the summer of 2018, Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, reportedly documented himself driving at 172 mph in his Porsche en route to Las Vegas. This revelation comes from images released by Marco Polo, an organization led by former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler, which obtained data from Hunter Biden's laptop.

During the same trip, text messages allegedly from Hunter Biden's laptop, published by the Daily Mail, suggest he coordinated with sex workers for a hot tub party. One message exchange details a woman's concern about the number of other women present and her lack of a swimsuit.

The Daily Mail also reported on a separate incident from June 2018, where Hunter Biden allegedly filmed himself smoking crack cocaine while driving in Arlington, Virginia. Hunter Biden's legal representation did not respond to requests for comment on these allegations.

These revelations coincide with controversy surrounding the Biden family's acknowledgment of Hunter's 4-year-old daughter from a paternity dispute. Hunter recently settled this case, agreeing to provide his daughter with some of his artwork. The mother, Lunden Alexis Roberts, in return, dropped her request to change their daughter's last name to Biden. White House aides have reportedly been instructed to publicly state that the President and First Lady have six grandchildren, omitting Hunter's daughter. This has drawn criticism, particularly after President Biden mentioned six grandchildren by name at a White House event.
