Hunter Biden angrily confronts George Clooney over father's presidential race involvement.

The scandal-plagued former first son, Hunter Biden, criticized actor George Clooney in a profanity-laden outburst during an interview with journalist Andrew Callaghan. Biden blamed Clooney for urging Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, which he believed contributed to the Democratic Party's loss to Donald Trump. He also questioned Clooney's acting abilities and motives.

Hunter Biden expressed frustration towards Clooney, questioning his right to interfere in his father's political career and criticizing his actions. Biden attributed the Democratic Party's division to the advantage it gave Republicans in the election. He also claimed that his father's poor performance in a debate with Trump was due to taking Ambien for sleep during foreign trips.

In another podcast appearance with Jaime Harrison, Hunter Biden reiterated his disregard for Clooney's political opinions and blamed disloyalty to the party leader for the Democratic Party's loss in the previous election. He mentioned the challenges faced by his father during the campaign and the pressure to step down from the race.

Hunter Biden's personal issues, including legal troubles related to tax and gun charges, were seen as burdens on his father's political career. Despite earlier denials, Joe Biden eventually pardoned his son before leaving office. Hunter's involvement in the re-election campaign complicated communication efforts with the president.
