It comes as Ms Owens joins a small but influential group of conservative voices who have attacked the Trump administration over the war with Iran and the government&#8217;s handling of files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Mr. Biden named his father, Joseph R. Biden Jr. has given few interviews since leaving the presidency. But the younger Mr Biden found time for Ms Owens, who has recently been accused of defamation in lawsuits filed by the French president and first lady, and the former security chief of Charlie Kirk, a prominent right-wing political activist who was murdered in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Mr Biden\u2019s appearance with Ms Owens brought together two figures who find themselves at odds with their longtime parties. Mr Biden has been sharply critical of Democrats&#8217; efforts to pressure his father to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i8m_6D4QGmk&amp;t=3867s\" title=\"\">Ms Owens says she feels &#8220;betrayed&#8221;<\/a> By Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">The amiable meeting would have been absolutely unimaginable during the Biden administration \u2013 a period in which Ms Owens called <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RealCandaceO\/status\/1380292628479086597\" title=\"\">For the imprisonment of the younger Mr. Biden<\/a>. But during the conversation, they found a lot in common.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Here are five memorable moments from the unusual interview:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-xbcl5e e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-39f927ee\"><span><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Mr Biden said the cocaine found in the Biden White House was not his.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">The conversation began with what Ms. Owens described as \u201ca question for the culture\u201d: whether the cocaine discovered in the White House during his father\u2019s presidency belonged to the young Mr. Biden, who had a decades-long addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">The discovery of cocaine in 2023 led to the closure of parts of the White House grounds as response workers assessed the substance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">&#8220;Was it yours?&#8221;<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>Ms. Owens asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">\u201cNo,\u201d Mr. Biden responded, adding that he had been sober since 2019. He later said that if it had been his cocaine, he &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t have forgotten it in a cubby when I got to the situation room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-xbcl5e e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-3b233595\"><span><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Ms Owens apologized for past comments about him.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Ms. Owens told Mr. Biden she felt \u201cterrible\u201d that he attacked Mr. Biden over the material, which was revealed by the New York Post at the height of the 2020 election and was allegedly taken from a damaged computer found a year ago at a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Del.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">&#8220;Really, I&#8217;m very sorry,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Ms. Owens said at the time she felt &#8220;gaslit&#8221; by an open letter signed by 51 former intelligence officers that suggested the material might be part of a Russian disinformation campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Mr Biden said Ms Owens was \u201cabsolutely right\u201d, and that he wished she had been allowed to speak on the issue at the time, but suggested he could not because the election was approaching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Mr Biden said the material, which included photos of him smoking in a motel room, showed him as a drug addict. But he said they did not provide evidence of corruption by his father, as some conservatives have argued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was an addiction,\u201d he said. &#8220;That was not corruption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-xbcl5e e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-4b17d317\"><span>They discussed the shared history of addiction in their families.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Much of the conversation focused on Mr Biden&#8217;s battle with drug addiction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">\u201cI grew up with a lot of addicts in my family,\u201d Ms. Owens said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">She said she felt \u201cguilty\u201d that she had attacked Mr Biden over his past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">\u201cI didn&#8217;t even think about it: He&#8217;s a crazy man,\u201d she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s actually a very relevant thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-xbcl5e e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-55e0406d\"><span>Ms. Owens said she was impressed by Mr. Biden\u2019s defense of her father.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">Ms. Owens said her view of the younger Mr. Biden had changed long before they met for an interview.
