Hunter Biden Slams George Clooney Over Comments on Father's Election Exit

In a heated interview, Hunter Biden defended his father's capabilities against Clooney's claims, arguing that the actor overstepped by questioning Biden's mental sharpness and alleging that personal disagreements may have motivated this intervention.

Hunter Biden did not hold back his feelings towards George Clooney in a recent YouTube interview with Channel 5's Andrew Callaghan. The younger Biden voiced his frustration over Clooney's criticism of his father, President Joe Biden, during the contentious 2024 election race. Clooney had previously called for Biden to step aside in a New York Times op-ed, citing concerns over the president's performance following a "disastrous" debate against Republican Donald Trump.

Hunter Biden suggested that Clooney's assertions about his father's mental state were exaggerated, attributing any perceived difficulties to his father's hectic travel schedule and the medication Ambien, which is used for sleep. In the interview, Hunter expressed disdain for Clooney's involvement, asking, “What do you have to do with… anything?” He also insinuated that Clooney's motivations might be linked to disagreements over U.S. policy towards Israel, a topic that reportedly caused friction between the actor and his father's administration.

The exchange gained further attention after Clooney's comments came to light in the wake of Joe Biden's unexpected decision to withdraw from the race, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee. Biden's announcement followed closely on the heels of Clooney's public critiques, raising questions about the influence of celebrity opinions on political dynamics.

Further complicating matters, Hunter Biden denied reports suggesting that he was heavily involved in White House meetings during the final months of his father’s presidency, even amidst ongoing legal challenges he faced. He asserted that he spent minimal time in the White House during that period. Joe Biden, who earlier this year reflected on his presidency, stated that he had no regrets about withdrawing from the election race.

The tension between Hunter Biden and Clooney illustrates the complexities surrounding political legacies and personal relationships within high-profile families. As the political landscape continues to shift, the ramifications of these interactions will likely reverberate for both Biden and Clooney in the public eye.
