A new report claims Hunter Biden once threatened a drug dealer by flexing his connections to a relative of former Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger.
According to the British tabloid The Sun, the threat was made after Hunter Biden, who was in drug treatment in Massachusetts at the time, did not get drugs he had paid for.
“Look up and see who I am and then look and see who my friends and associates are,” Biden texted the dealer, according to The Sun.
Biden followed that up with the contact details of business associate Jim Bulger, Whitey Bulger’s nephew. Jim Bulger has no links to any organized crime or illegal activity, The Sun was quick to note.
Whitey Bulger, however, was the leader of the Irish mob in Boston from the 1970s through the 1990s. He was killed in federal prison in 2018.
And Hunter Biden apparently had no problem hinting at an implied mob link to try to intimidate a drug dealer he was unhappy with.
The January 2019 texts show Hunter Biden becoming irate when his drugs did not arrive.
