Ana Navarro Praises Hunter Biden as ‘Riveting’ and Critiques Trump Family Earnings

On the ABC show’s ‘Behind the Table’ podcast, Ana Navarro, co-host of ‘The View,’ commended Hunter Biden, calling him ‘riveting’ and ‘the biggest troll.’ She previewed a 90-minute interview and argued in favor of Biden amidst scrutiny over his Burisma income. According to Navarro, the attention given to Biden’s earnings is minor compared to the alleged monetization of the presidency by the Trump family during President Donald Trump’s second term.

The monetization of the presidency, the fact that Hunter got dragged through the coals and brought into a congressional hearing by Republicans for the money that he was making in Burisma, which is not even chump change in comparison to the billions of dollars that the Trump family has made off the presidency, Navarro said.

Navarro highlighted what she perceives as ‘double standards’ during her discussion on the ‘Bleep! with Ana Navarro’ podcast. She stated that Hunter Biden’s social media presence is noteworthy, mentioning his use of humor.

She referenced Biden’s response to a user who implicated him in the discovery of cocaine at the White House in July 2023, saying, ‘No, I would have never forgotten my coke.’ The Secret Service closed its investigation on the matter without identifying a suspect, although the FBI reopened the case in 2025. Fox News Digital sought comments from the FBI and the White House but did not receive immediate replies.

Navarro described their extensive conversation as engaging from beginning to end, emphasizing Hunter Biden’s compelling nature. She also expressed concern, noting the clash with the Argentina versus England World Cup match.

According to reports from the House Oversight Committee, Burisma paid Biden and his business associate Devon Archer $1 million each annually after their 2014 board appointment. This occurred when Joe Biden, serving as Vice President, guided U.S. policy toward Ukraine during the Obama administration. Hunter Biden later participated in a closed-door House deposition amid a Republican-led impeachment inquiry into his father.

Navarro defended Hunter Biden’s art sales, insisting the transactions underwent scrutiny. She asserted that his Burisma earnings pale compared to those amassed by the Trump family.

And while his father was president, he didn’t make any money. He made money off his paintings… every painting he sold had to go through vetting, and he had been painting his entire life, Navarro said.

The White House dismissed Navarro’s comparison, claiming Trump’s children independently established successful businesses, while raising doubts about Hunter Biden’s credibility.

President Trump’s children are extremely successful business leaders in their own right running multi-billion-dollar corporations. Hunter Biden smoked crack, banged hookers, and sold ugly paintings for hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one cares what he has to say, White House communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital.

Information from Biden’s former gallerist Georges Bergès indicated that a buyer-anonymity agreement was not implemented until September 2021, and Biden knew about 70% of his buyers. According to the Washington Post, ten buyers paid $1.5 million for his artwork, with Biden receiving $900,000.

Reuters approximated in June that Trump and his sons amassed at least $2.3 billion through cryptocurrency ventures since his White House return. Trump shared this month that he did not personally manage his finances.
