Kai Trump has addressed the viral question of what her uncle Barron Trump said to Joe Biden during Donald Trump's inauguration in January.

For those who need a quick family tree reminder, Melania and US President Trump share one son together, Barron Trump, who was born in 2006 and is now 19-years-old.

Trump also has four other kids from previous relationships - with ex-wife Ivana he had Donald Jr., 47, and Ivanka, 44, and Eric, 41, as well as Tiffany, 32 from his marriage to Marla Maples.

Kai, 18, who is the eldest of all the 79-year-old world leader's 11 grandkids, is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump.

The former couple also welcomed four other children, before they parted ways in 2018 after getting married in 2005.

Now, back to the point - Kai recently appeared on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, where she talked about everything from her love life to her golfing ambitions, and, of course, her very famous political family.

And as we say, she was also asked about that famous inauguration moment where Barron went viral earlier this year during Trump's inaugural address.

The Republican leader spent most of the speech slating Biden, despite the former president sitting just a few feet away - and Barron was spotted talking to him and shaking his hands.

As you can expect, the internet immediately went into overdrive and tried to guess what the pair could have possibly spoken out.

Then, in November of this year, Barron's brother Eric spoke out claiming to know what actually went down - but Melania reportedly was not happy.

Speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show Eric said: "Do you remember that whole controversy where [Barron] went up to Biden … and [the media] had all these like lip-reading experts [analyse it], and they’re like, 'Barron just told Biden to go F himself?'

"So one night … I call Barron, I go, 'Buddy, look, what did you actually say?' And he goes, you know, like - it was something so polite I almost wouldn’t even get it right - but [something], like, 'Congratulations and best of luck to you' - or something like that."

Eric added that it was 'something very respectful' and that Barron 'doesn’t have that in him'.

He added: "He’s a nice guy. He’s probably thinking it. He definitely has it up here [motioning to his head], but like, he’s too courteous to actually go out there and say it. Barron’s a really nice kid."

Then, as per Stylecaster, a source told Rob Shuter’s Subtack that Melania allegedly told Eric to 'shut his mouth' following the comments.

The source reportedly added: "Melania does not want Barron discussed. Ever," adding that she was 'deeply uncomfortable' with Eric’s 'trending' comments about his half-brother and 'she protects that boy like a lioness'.

And now, after all of the family drama went down, Kai has also weighed in.

During the podcast episode, host Logan said: "Although he's quiet, he's always next to the President, he always seems to be in the vicinity of something going on. Do you know what Barron said to Joe Biden in his ear?"

Kai laughed as she responded: "To be honest with you, I have no clue. I've actually never asked him. I remember seeing that video on Instagram and it was obviously in my feed, all about the inauguration stuff.

"Then I see that video and I'm like 'Wait, like what happened? What went on?'"

Logan then joked: "You don't think he said something like 'You're going down b*tch a**," to which Kai confirmed: "Knowing Barron, he definitely did not say anything - I don't think anything bad at least."

The mystery continues...
