Hunter Biden has sat down for an interview with Candace Owens, and the exchange has not aired yet. But select clips already circulating on social media show him praising her for asking what he called tough questions about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In one clip, Biden can be heard saying, “I listen to you and I go ‘right on,’” while referring to Owens’ effort to connect the Israeli government to Kirk’s killing. In another, he says, “The D.C. elite of the left, they crushed my dad because he was never part of that club, he was never part of the Epstein class.”

Owens, a long-time critic of the Biden family, posted on May 18, 2026: “This Thursday. Hunter Biden and me. @candaceoshow.” She has no love for Joe Biden, and she has also said plainly that she does not believe the official story of Kirk’s assassination. She has suggested that Erika Kirk, Turning Point USA or the state of Israel could somehow be involved.

There is no evidence whatsoever for those claims, and the alleged killer’s motive and opportunity are described as overwhelmingly clear in the material available so far. He also confessed. That makes the clips from Biden’s interview striking for what they do not do: they do not push back on Owens’ most speculative claims, even as they pull him into a conversation that blends grievance, conspiracy and politics.

The appearance also fits a wider effort by Biden to salvage his father’s reputation and attack the people who forced him off the 2024 ticket after the June 2024 debate exposed age and infirmity. Joe Biden was pushed out of the campaign after that performance, and Hunter Biden has been among the loudest voices defending him and accusing the Democratic establishment of betrayal.

What happens next is simple enough. The full interview is still pending, and the clips already released suggest the finished version will not be a conventional political conversation. It will instead put Biden in the same frame as a figure who has spent years attacking his family, while giving Owens a fresh platform for claims that have no evidentiary support.
