(New York Post) Furious Joe Biden regrets choosing Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead the Justice Department after the agency prosecuted his son Hunter, a new book by Bob Woodward claims.
The allegation is just one of a number of bombshell insights into the Biden White House in “War,” out October 15. The book reveals a president desperately trying to stave off war in the Middle East, fearful of Russia unleashing nuclear warfare, and worn down by his wayward son.
Biden also lashes out about everyone from Garland to Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netnyahu and even Barack Obama — who Biden blames for not stopping Putin’s 2014 invasion of Crimea, raging that “Barack never took Putin seriously.”
The president has publicly said he will not pardon his son’s conviction on three federal gun charges or commute his sentence — but remains privately furious at the AG, writes Woodward, who describes how Biden told an associate he “should never have picked Garland.”
According to the book, Biden moaned, “This is never going to f—king go away” about his son’s longstanding legal problems, including three felony and six misdemeanor tax charges, which he pleaded guilty to in September.
Woodward also describes a scene between the president and his spoiled son at the White House in spring 2022.
While the president was having dinner with a friend, Hunter came in and claimed it was he who had the most to lose from the midterm elections.
“Hunter rambled on about his personal crisis. President Biden leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and sighed,” Woodward writes.
The book, which was obtained by CNN ahead of its release, is based on interviews with those who saw Biden explode.
Here’s who’s found themselves in the firing line:
Benjamin Netanyahu
President Biden blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu as a “bad f–king guy,” as Israel’s war on Gaza intensified, Woodward alleges.
The journalist reveals how Biden raged to an associate earlier this year, “That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy. He’s a bad f–king guy!”
Woodward describes the prickly relationship between Biden and Netanyahu as the Middle East descended into chaos following the October 7 terror attack by Hamas on Israel.
