Trump critic and The View host Whoopi Goldberg has stunned audiences by tearing up a producer's note live on air after being told to correct a statement about the US President.

The 69-year-old comedian and actor was handed a note by co-host Sunny Hostin during Monday's broadcast of the ABC talk show, prompting a heated and awkward exchange.

Hostin had earlier discussed Donald Trump's reported pardon of Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, the convicted head of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, claiming the President had admitted he didn't know who Zhao was.

"The Trump family has made about $1.8 billion, profited off of this government and he said that Joe Biden didn't know who he was pardoning using an autopen. How come you don't know who this guy is?" Hostin said.
