Representatives for Radar Online, the National Enquirer and the NY Post have seen a video of a woman who, per Radar, "clearly resembles Ashley Biden, 27"—daughter of Vice President Joe Biden—"snorting several lines of cocaine.On the tape a man cuts up five lines of what is said to be cocaine. The woman who the seller says is Ashley then jokes with the man that the lines aren’t big enough." The video was shown by a lawyer representing a man who wishes to sell the tape, allegedly shot last year; the Post says it was shown "about 90 seconds of 43-minute tape" and told "it was legally obtained and that Biden was aware she was being filmed" (the lawyer referred to how Biden acknowledges the filmmaker). However, Radar reports that Biden was filmed without her knowledge. The filmmaker had wanted $2 million for the tape, but then, based on much lower offers, is willing to sell the tape for $400,000. The NY tab points out that Biden's dad coined the term "Drug Czar" in his crusade against drugs but adds, "The Post refused to pay for the video."
