Fresh off his viral hit interview with leftist podcaster Andrew Callaghan, Hunter Biden appeared on the show again to demonstrate his painting skills and discuss conspiracies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.
The eldest son of President Joe Biden spoke about the Epstein files as he painted in his art studio, even as his personal sales have plunged since his father left the presidency after a single term.
‘The simplistic explanation is always true,’ he said, referring to the Epstein case and whether or not Donald Trump was in the files.
He noted that Trump and Epstein were ‘very close friends for a very, very long period of time’ so it would make sense that the president’s name was in the files.
Trump has maintained that he threw Epstein out of his Mar-a-lago club because he was hiring some of the young women employees from his club, though the Justice Department informed Trump his name appeared in the files as part of its, according to reports.
Inclusion of one’s name in the deceased socialite’s files not suggest criminal conduct.
During the podcast interview, Hunter Biden struggled to discuss the case, as he appeared convinced that feeding conspiracy theories was damaging to the country.
‘The thing I’m loath to do is to feed into another go**amn conspiracy theory, it’s just so destructive to the entire culture, the fabric,’ he ranted.

But he then did exactly that, pouring fuel on the fire in declaring that it was very unlikely that Epstein killed himself in prison.
‘He was murdered right before it was all about to blow up,’ he said.
‘Clearly, who believes that he killed himself?’ he added. ‘Nobody.’
He refused to speculate on who may have killed the billionaire convicted sex offender, but said it was entirely possible to murder someone in prison.
‘You know what kills me about this more than anything is agreeing with Tucker Carlson,’ he added. ‘It kills me! I don’t want to feed into this.’
He marveled that Trump’s appointees in the FBI, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, fed conspiracies about Epstein for years but failed to deliver to the president’s political base.
He speculated that Trump’s failure to release the files would hurt the president politically, but also said that he could survive the controversy.
‘Who knows? They may drop this,’ Biden said about Trump’s supporters. ‘He may have that firm of a hold, if this is truly a cult and I believe that it is. I think he’ll make it through.’

Biden also argued that Trump and his supporters focused intently on the Epstein story because it was part of a strategy regularly employed by the Nazis and Russian President Vladimir Putin to label their political opponents as pedophiles.
‘It’s literally straight out of Putin’s book, which by the way is not even Putin’s book, that was used by the Nazis, elimination rhetoric came from there,’ he said.
He stressed that neither he nor his father was ever invited to Epstein’s island.
‘Me and Joe Biden, never been to Epstein island,’ he said.
