Hunter Biden takes on Jake Tapper in upcoming podcast
July 16, 2025 | Kevin Haggerty
Jake Tapper’s contention about Hunter Biden’s role in the White House found the former first son responding as he also opined on where Democrats went wrong in the 2024 election.
Since getting trounced by swing-state sweeping President Donald Trump in November, the Democratic Party, which ousted then-President Joe Biden in favor of then-Vice President Kamala Harris as their ticket topper, has openly embarked on an outreach mission as approval ratings have plummeted.
Now, former Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison has launched a podcast providing the younger Biden a platform to question the veracity of Tapper’s portrayal of media coverage of his father’s failing mental acuity, in particular any role he may have had in the administration.
In a preview of the “At Our Table” podcast, reported by The Hill, Hunter specifically challenged the CNN host’s notion that he acted as chief of staff during his father’s White House residency.
“You think Jake Tapper’s telling the truth when he says that I was the acting chief of staff of the president? I was in the White House 12 days over the course of the last two years of the administration,” he told Harrison before adding a reminder about the numerous court cases he’d been facing. “Clearly, because I had other things going on, okay?”
During an interview with Katie Couric in May alongside “Original Sin,” co-author Alex Thompson of Axios, Tapper said, “I think Hunter was driving the decision-making for the family in a way that people — he was almost like a chief of staff.”
“It’s bizarre because I think he is provably, demonstrably, unethical, sleazy, and prone to horrible decisions,” the CNN host contended before making note that Hunter had cheated on his own wife with his brother’s widow, “and then got her addicted to crack.”
