Overview
- In a Nov. 6 appearance on Katie Couric’s podcast, ABC’s Jonathan Karl described the relationship between Barack Obama and Joe Biden as “really bad.”
- Karl said he witnessed both men at Washington’s Café Milano last month with overlapping security details and no interaction.
- He reported that when Biden relinquished the 2024 nomination he did not call Obama, while Obama later called and Biden did not take the call, leaving them without contact for weeks.
- Karl recounted Hunter Biden’s anger over Obama taking Joe Biden by the arm and leading him offstage at a fundraiser, which Hunter viewed as making his father appear feeble.
- Karl’s claims are drawn from reporting for his new book Retribution and his media interviews, and Fox News said outreach to Obama and Biden offices did not receive an immediate response.
