Chelsea Clinton Says Barron Trump, 18, Has ‘an Unimpeachable Right to Privacy

Chelsea Clinton is calling on her personal experience to defend Barron Trump's continued right to privacy.



During an appearance on The View on Friday, the former first daughter, 44, was asked by co-host Ana Navarro to weigh in on the debate surrounding how the media should cover former President Donald Trump's son now that he's a legal adult.


Navarro, 52, asked Chelsea to comment on the fact that some people in the media have said Barron, who rarely steps into the spotlight, is officially "fair game" to criticize since he's "no longer a child."


"I think he’s a private citizen. I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy and I think the media should leave him alone," Chelsea replied.

Chelsea became the first daughter at 12 years old — when her father, Bill Clinton, was sworn in as the 42nd president of the United States. She turned 18 while her family was still in the White House.


The harsh treatment Chelsea received during her teenage years is now widely viewed as the roadmap for what media shouldn't do when covering younger presidential children.
