Hunter Biden appeared in a warm, nearly two-hour interview with Candace Owens, filmed at her home in Nashville and released recently. The meeting occurred as Owens joined conservative voices critical of the Trump administration over the war with Iran and the handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Biden has given few interviews since his father left office, and his appearance with Owens brought together two figures who have moved away from their longtime parties. Owens has faced defamation accusations in lawsuits, while Biden has been criticized by Democrats over pressure to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. The interview began with a question about whether cocaine found in the White House during his father’s presidency belonged to Biden, given his past addiction.
"Hunter Biden, whose conviction on gun and tax charges and subsequent pardon by his father caused a furor on right-wing media, recently sat for a warm, nearly two-hour interview with Candace Owens, a popular right-wing podcaster and conspiracy theorist. The interview was filmed last week at Ms. Owens's home in Nashville and released Thursday."
"It came at a moment when Ms. Owens has joined a small but influential group of conservative voices who have turned on the Trump administration over the war with Iran and the government's handling of files related to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Mr. Biden has given few interviews since his father, Joseph R. Biden Jr., left office as president."
"Mr. Biden's appearance with Ms. Owens brought together two figures who find themselves out of step with their longtime parties. Mr. Biden has been fiercely critical of Democrats' effort to push his father to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Ms. Owens says she feels betrayed by Mr. Trump."
"The conversation began with what Ms. Owens described as a question for the culture: whether cocaine discovered in the White House during his father's presidency belonged to the younger Mr. Biden, who had a decades-long addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine."
