Ambien examination grows after Hunter Biden claims that his father used sleep assistance

Ambien is examined after recent complaints concerning the use by Joe Biden of popular sleep aid.

In an interview with the host of Youtube, Andrew Callaghan, who was released on Monday, Hunter Biden alleged that the sleeping pills could have contributed to the apparent cognitive struggles of her father during the first presidential debate of 2024.
