Hunter Biden, the scandal-scarred son of former President Joe Biden, made the comment about President Donald Trump’s eldest sons in a video in which he announced he would be participating in YouTuber Andrew Callaghan’s upcoming “Carnival” tour.
“I think he’s trying to set up a cage match, me against Eric and Don Jr. I told him I would do it 100%, if he makes it happen,” Hunter Biden said in a video announcement shared by Callaghan on his Channel 5 Instagram page.
The Trump Organization, run by Trump’s eldest sons, and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Hunter Biden said he will perform at the “Carnival” shows in Phoenix, San Diego and Albuquerque, New Mexico, later this month.
Callaghan could not be reached for comment. He told USA Today in an email that he thought Hunter Biden made the remark “in jest,” but added that he would be “more than happy to facilitate” the match if the Trumps were “willing to engage Hunter in mutual combat.”
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Barry Coburn, declined to comment.
Hunter Biden was a favorite Trump target during the 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns, with Trump repeatedly accusing the younger Biden of taking advantage of his father’s time in office and asking rally crowds, “Where’s Hunter?”
Trump’s allegations centered on Hunter Biden’s lucrative business deals with Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies while his father was vice president. Records show he and his company earned about $11 million between 2013 and 2018. His father served as vice president until early 2017.
Hunter Biden has denied any wrongdoing related to this work. He was later indicted on federal tax evasion and firearms charges. He was convicted by a jury in the first case and pleaded guilty in the second, but was controversially pardoned by his father in late 2024, before being convicted in both cases.
Hunter Biden said the affairs put him in debt. He is being sued by his former lawyers for non-payment of his legal fees.
His current attorney said in a court filing that “we do not dispute the assertion that a substantial portion of the invoices he issued remain unpaid,” but his client is “impecunious,” which Merriam-Webster defines as “having very little or no money.”
Trump’s sons, meanwhile, reportedly earned hundreds of millions of dollars during the first year of their father’s second term, including through cryptocurrency projects involving foreign investment.
