The White House was plunged into scandal last night over reports
in the U.S. about a video allegedly showing Vice President Joe Biden’s
daughter snorting cocaine.
Details of the video emerged on the eve of Mr Biden’s trip with
President Obama to this week’s G20 summit in London.
According to the New York Post, a woman resembling Ashley Biden, 27,
is seen snorting lines of white powder at a house party this month
in Delaware.
American lawyer Thomas Dunlap is said to be touting the tape around
to media outlets in the US with a price tag of up to £280,000.

Miss Biden, a child welfare social worker who was often seen with
her father on the election campaign trail, was unavailable for comment
yesterday.
The rumpus is a major embarrassment to the vice president, an outspoken
crusader against drugs who has called for a tougher crackdown on dealers.
The recording, seen by several news agencies, allegedly shows a man
cutting up lines of what appears to be cocaine.
