US Navy kicked out Biden's son over cocaine use

Washington (AFP) - Vice President Joe Biden's son was discharged this year from the US Navy reserve after testing positive for cocaine, a US official confirmed to AFP.

Hunter Biden, 44, had been a reserve officer starting in 2012 but failed the drug test last year, said the official familiar with the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity, on Thursday.

In a statement, the vice president's younger son acknowledged his discharge and expressed regret.

"It was the honor of my life to serve in the US Navy, and I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge," he said in the statement, issued through his lawyer.

"I respect the Navy's decision. With the love and support of my family, I'm moving forward."

There was no public response from the vice president's office.
