LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fox News anchor Sean Hannity recently engaged viewers in a controversial discussion on a photo retrieved from one of Hunter Biden's hard drives.

The photo, presented as evidence in the ongoing legal battle surrounding President Joe Biden's son, led to Hannity questioning whether the depicted substance was sawdust or cocaine.

Hannity Raises Eyebrows

According to Mediaite, during his show, Hannity expressed, “Things are not going so well for members of Joe Biden’s family."

“Lawyers for his son Hunter just had to explain in court a filing that this photo– take a look at this photo right here. Look at that photo from his phone that the government, prosecutors claim show lines of cocaine. That’s what the government prosecutors are saying.”

"They’re saying that’s sawdust. Take a good look at the sawdust that’s lined up in perfect little lines. Take a close look. Does that look like sawdust to you? We’ll let you decide that," Hannity urged his audience.

Biden's defense: sawdust, not Cocaine - legal team ridicules DOJ's allegations

In response to the allegations, Biden's legal team argued that federal prosecutors had misinterpreted the photo, asserting that it actually depicted lines of sawdust. According to the attorneys, the image was sent by Biden's psychiatrist, intending to convey a message "that Mr Biden, too, could overcome any addiction.”

Mocking the situation, they commented, "Mistaking sawdust for cocaine sounds more like a storyline from one of the 1980s Police Academy comedies than what should be expected in a high-profile prosecution by the US Department of Justice."



 

While the substance in the photo remains undetermined, other images and videos retrieved from Biden's phone have documented his history of drug use and previous addiction to crack cocaine.

A particularly notable photo from 2018 allegedly showed Biden smoking a crack pipe while driving at high speeds. 

Social media skepticism: users question substance in Hunter Biden's photo

As controversy surrounds Hunter Biden's photo, social media users expressed skepticism and humor.

One user wrote, "Hannity must be blind. It's on top of a saw. "



 

Another replied, "Each of those lines is at least an inch thick. Horses were snorting at this party?"



 

One replied, "Looks like a new Monster energy drink."



 

Another commented, "It's sawdust. It's all over the floor too. Also, those would be absolutely humongous lines of coke. Who's Hunter partying with? King Kong?"



 

One added, "Looks like sawdust to me ... am I missing something?"
