Hunter Biden alleges that George Clooney is working against his father's election campaign in 2024.
In a three-hour, candid online interview, Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, voiced his criticisms and accusations against various political figures, as well as shared his reflections on the 2024 presidential election.
Hunter Biden expressed his belief that his father, President Joe Biden, could have won the 2024 election, but was mistreated by those around him in the waning days of his candidacy and administration. He criticized former Obama strategist David Axelrod for having only one political success, which was Barack Obama, and accused Anita Dunn, a longtime Biden senior adviser, of making "$40 to $50 million" off of work for the Democratic Party.
Hunter Biden also criticized James Carville, adviser to former President Bill Clinton, for not being active in politics for 40 years. He accused George Clooney of changing his stance after Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance against Trump in June 2024 and of criticizing the Democratic Party's nominee. However, no specific supporter for Clooney's opinion piece in The New York Times urging Joe Biden not to run for president in 2024 is mentioned in the available information.
Clooney, who supported Biden's bid for a second term and headlined a record-setting fundraiser for him, later changed his stance after the debate. In an op-ed titled "I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee," published in 2023, Clooney expressed his concerns about Biden's performance and called for a new nominee.
In the same interview, Hunter Biden suggested that his father, Joe Biden, may have been recovering from Ambien during the 2024 presidential debate. He also expressed his opposition to the presidential debate given Trump's recent convictions.
The podcast appearances by Hunter Biden come just days ahead of the expected beginning of court proceedings. Hunter Biden is involved in a lawsuit against Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock.com, over false claims. The court proceedings for the lawsuit are expected to begin soon in a Los Angeles federal court.
Tommy Vietor, one of the hosts of "Pod Save America," applauded Hunter Biden's decision to reflect on the 2020 election and take responsibility for his family's approach to politics. However, David Axelrod did not comment on Hunter Biden's criticisms, and Anita Dunn did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Joe Biden made a promise not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family, but later pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, in the waning days of his administration, sparing him a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions.
Hunter Biden laid bare critiques of the party's operation and operatives that, he says, aren't well-serving its opposition to Trump and the Republican Party. His reflections and criticisms provide a unique insight into the inner workings of the Democratic Party and the 2024 election.
