Ashley Biden Cocaine Video Was a Setup

'Friend' hoped to hit jackpot by hawking video of VP's kid

Share

(Newser) – The video that supposedly shows Ashley Biden snorting cocaine was a pure set-up, Radar reports. The man hawking the video to media outlets—a so-called "friend" of of the VP’s daughter—bought the cocaine himself, along with a hidden camera, as part of an elaborate plot to make money selling the video. Judging from the tape, it's clear that, contrary to the seller's claims, the woman in it doesn't know she's being filmed, notes Radar.

Funny, I didn't see a gun to her head making her do it. If someone only has to sprinkle some cocaine on a table to set you up, I think there are bigger issues than the fact you got filmed doing cocaine. Reply
