Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, confirmed his long speculated feud with CNN anchor Jake Tapper, claiming he once told him to "go f**k" himself after Tapper allegedly hounded him over the death of his brother Beau.

“It would be impossible to forget or misremember something that upsetting and out of line during one of the toughest moments of my life,” he told Breaker on Wednesday (May 21). “It happened. I was furious.”

Hunter claims that Tapper repeatedly called him while his brother was dying of brain cancer at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 2015, which included following up on a blocked number, to which he replied, "Go f**k yourself, Jake." The duo reportedly came face-to-face during a reported tense interaction at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, which led to long speculation of their feud.

Several sources with knowledge of the situation told Puck that they witnessed Hunter put his arm around Tapper's shoulders and tell him "I would knock you out" had they not been in a public setting, which was made in response to the incident involving the alleged barrage of calls made by Tapper years prior.

Tapper, who co-authored the upcoming book Original Sin with Axios' Alex Thompson on the alleged cover up of former President Biden's mental decline, has publicly denied calling Hunter about his brother's death, but confirmed the Super Bowl incident, which he claimed was made over negative headlines associated with Hunter's drug 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.
