In December of 2017, about six months after Fleet Foxes released Crack-Up, Hunter Biden played music from the band while using drugs and receiving a lap dance, according to testimony from exotic dancer Zoe Kestan.
Biden, whose father, the President, you may have heard of, is facing federal charges of unlawfully buying a gun, lying on a purchase form and claiming he did not abuse drugs. The prosecution’s case relies on witnesses to testify that they saw him smoking crack cocaine during that period, and the Special Counsel is attempting to tie said cocaine to about $151,000 in cash that Biden withdrew during a three-month span.
Biden’s defense team has argued that when he checked “no” on the question about substance abuse, he believed it was true, because he had just finished a stint in rehab. The trial is ongoing, but in the meantime we can try to answer another big question: Is the music of Fleet Foxes good for a lap dance? From the sound of Kestan’s testimony, it sure is! It seems like she recognized the band, and as she testified, “I felt really safe around him.”
