The White House confirmed that Hunter Biden was present during the preparation for President Joe Biden’s recent speech. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre disclosed that Hunter was at Camp David with the president over the weekend and participated in the speech planning session upon their return.
Reports indicated that Hunter Biden engaged in meetings with the president and senior staff following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity. Some sources mentioned his presence in various discussions and phone calls, prompting questions from White House staffers about his involvement.
The situation raised eyebrows among White House insiders, particularly considering Hunter Biden’s recent conviction on federal gun charges in Delaware. His presence in meetings with the president’s team, especially during a critical period, has sparked concerns and skepticism within Democratic circles.
Remember when Joe Biden called Hunter Biden the smartest man he knows?
