Hunter Biden reveals father's prostate cancer has spread and is painful

In a BBC interview broadcast late Friday, Hunter Biden disclosed that former US president Joe Biden's prostate cancer has metastasized to his bones and other parts of his body, causing significant pain and debilitation. The younger Biden, visibly emotional, described watching his father's decline as "very sad." Joe Biden, 83, the oldest person to serve as US president, revealed his diagnosis in May 2024, less than four months after leaving the White House. The former president continues to speak on public issues despite his condition. The disclosure comes amid ongoing criticism that Biden and his advisers concealed the extent of his health problems, particularly after his poor debate performance against Donald Trump, which led to his withdrawal from the 2024 re-election race. The interview also touched on the broader context of Biden's age and health concerns during his presidency.
