WASHINGTON — Hunter Biden, the youngest son of Vice President Joe Biden, has been expelled from the military after testing positive for cocaine, two people familiar with the matter say.

The Navy said that Biden, a former lobbyist who works at a private equity firm, was discharged in February – barely a year after he was selected for the part-time position as a public affairs officer in the Navy Reserve.

Biden said he respected the Navy’s decision and was moving forward with his family’s love and support. He did not give a reason for his discharge.

“It was the honor of my life to serve in the U.S. Navy,” he said. “I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge.”
