Hunter Biden has revealed once angrily confronting CNN’s Jake Tapper and telling him to “go f–k” himself for hounding him over his brother Beau Biden’s death.
The disgraced former first son gave a rare interview to confirm his long-running feud with Tapper after the lefty anchor denied hounding him.
“It would be impossible to forget or misremember something that upsetting and out of line during one of the toughest moments of my life,” Hunter, 55, told Breaker on Wednesday.
“It happened. I was furious.”
The saga is said to have unfolded when Tapper repeatedly called Hunter as his brother was dying of brain cancer at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 2015, the outlet reported, citing multiple sources.
When Tapper subsequently followed up on a blocked number, which Hunter answered, Biden’s son allegedly bluntly said: “Go f–k yourself, Jake.”
Years later, the duo then came face-to-face at the 2018 Super Bowl Minneapolis where sources witnessed a tense interaction between the pair — kicking off the rumors of their feud.
Several sources told Puck that they witnessed Hunter putting his arm around Tapper’s shoulders before telling him that “I would knock you out” if they weren’t in a public setting.
The apparent threat was allegedly in response to the barrage of calls Tapper had made years earlier.
Tapper, for his part, has denied ever calling Hunter about his brother’s death.
He confirmed the Super Bowl saga but suggested Hunter had confronted him over negative headlines associated with the ex-first son’s drugs use and divorce.
“Hunter did once confront me at a Super Bowl party, but it was over an unrelated issue – coverage he wrongly believed I had done regarding divorce allegations of drug use and using prostitutes, which I actually had never done,” Tapper told Breaker.
