In an interview with BBC's Newsnight, Hunter Biden provided an update on his father's health, revealing that the former U.S. President Joe Biden is suffering from a debilitating form of cancer that has metastasized into his bones. Diagnosed in 2025, Joe Biden's aggressive prostate cancer came during the heat of the 2024 presidential race, with concerns about his advanced age mounting. A notable turning point was the first debate against Republican candidate Donald Trump, where Biden appeared visibly unwell and lost his train of thought. Hunter Biden watched this controversial debate alone at his California home, describing his father's performance as an anomaly that has not been repeated since. The interview also touched upon Hunter Biden's own controversies, including felony convictions for gun possession and tax evasion, and his father's decision to pardon him before leaving office in 2024.
