25. I don't know--only George Clooney knows but Clooney left out important context

In this interview, Hunter Biden mentioned some background which was the, leading up to the fundraiser, George Clooney threatened more than once to pull out of the fundraiser because President Biden said he couldn’t honor an arrest warrant for Netanyahu that Clooney’s wife’s law firm had drafted. According to Hunter, Clooney was extremely angry and sent a ton of angry texts, threatening to embarrass President Biden by pulling out of the fundraiser. Hunter said he saw those texts first hand.

Hunter goes on to say that he was at the fundraiser where George Clooney was “introduced” to President Biden. As Hunter describes it, this was at the typical rope line where there is a person standing next to the President whose sole purpose is to formally introduce each person as they come up to the President. It’s a formality, even if the President has known the person for 30 years they are still formally introduced. That is what Clooney is describing as Biden needing to be introduced to Clooney, implying it was because Joe Biden didn’t recognize him

You can hear Hunter talk about this starting around 2:27:00

(NOTE: The interviewer, Andrew Callaghan, tells his own George Clooney story where George Clooney blew up the actor Jack Blacks phone after a member of Jack Black’s band made a joke about “next time don’t miss”, after the Butler attempted assassination of Trump. He told Jack Black if he didn’t fire the band member there would be consequences. Jack Black had the band member, a long time member and friend, apologize but that wasn’t enough for Clooney. So Jack Black had to cancel the entire tour. Not a good look for George Clooney. Sounds like an entitled *ass)
