"Actor George Clooney responded to former first son Hunter Biden's recent accusations against him, defending his previous comments about former President Joe Biden and criticizing the younger Biden for making false statements and looking backwards. I could spend a lot of time debunking many of the things he said because many of the things he said were just outright lies, you know, Clooney told CBS's Seth Doane on Sunday. Obama didn't put me up to it. It wasn't my fundraiser.' It was my [his] fundraiser. All the things. Clooney was responding to multiple comments made by Hunter Biden in the wake of President Donald Trump's return to the White House, and Biden's father's controversial choice to drop out of the presidential race."
"Biden was referencing the highly publicized New York Times op-ed, titled I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee, published by Clooney in July of 2024. The piece became a critical part of the left-wing pressure urging former President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race, something he ultimately chose to do less than two weeks after the op-ed was published."
George Clooney publicly defended his criticisms of President Joe Biden and sharply rejected accusations made by Hunter Biden, calling many of those statements outright lies. Clooney denied being prompted by others and disputed claims about a fundraiser. Hunter Biden previously criticized Clooney during a televised interview, accusing Clooney of inventing claims to justify pushing the president out of the race and expressing anger toward Clooney and his circle. Clooney has described observing Biden's mental decline and warned that aging presents an unwinnable battle; Biden later withdrew from the presidential contest within weeks of the public controversy.
