Biden ignores questions about the cocaine scandal AND whether he’d meet his granddaughter — as a shocking new study shows how little the White House reacts to scandals
- President Joe Biden ignored reporters’ questions on Thursday
- He was questioned about the cocaine investigation
- Biden was also asked about Hunter’s four-year-old daughter
President Joe Biden on Thursday ignored shouted questions about the cocaine found in the West Wing and whether he would be open to meeting with Hunter’s four-year-old daughter Navy Joan.
The president was on his way to South Carolina Thursday morning to tout the Inflation Reduction Act and troll Republican Representative Joe Wilson — known for yelling “you’re lying!” at President Barack Obama during a State of the Union address – for trying to repeal the law.
Biden will visit Western Columbia, where Enphase Energy will announce up to 600 new jobs created thanks to climate finance in the bill approved by Democrats.
As he left the White House residence, he was asked, “Any update on the cocaine investigation?” and “Are you open to meeting Hunter’s daughter, Mr. President?” but he walked silently to Marine One.
On Wednesday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brushed off questions about the two topics — in line with a new study that found she answered just 2 percent of questions related to Biden family scandals this year.

The investigation, produced by the right-wing Media Research Center, found that Jean-Pierre had been asked 252 questions about two topics: the discovery of classified documents in the president’s office and the Delaware home, and Hunter’s business transactions conducted by Republicans. investigated in Congress.
Between January 1 and June 30, 217 questions were asked about the secret documents and 35 questions about the business transactions.
Jean-Pierre has “concretely answered” five questions about the documents scandal and one about “influence peddling” by the Biden family, according to the MRC report.
The investigation concluded before the discovery of a bag of cocaine on Sunday, along a West Wing tour route.
During Wednesday’s briefing, Jean-Pierre referred the bevy of cocaine-related questions to the Secret Service – the agency currently investigating the incident.
In addition, DailyMail.com reported on Friday that Hunter had settled a child support dispute with Lunden Roberts, 32, the mother of his four-year-old daughter, Navy Joan, out of wedlock.
As part of the deal, Hunter agreed to play a part in his daughter’s life – opening the door for Grandpa Joe to meet her as well.

When When asked if the president would recognize his seventh grandchild, Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday: “I have nothing to share here.”
The preschool-aged girl has never met Hunter, and the Biden family has refused to count her as part of the family — with only six stockings representing the grandchildren to be hung in the White House over Christmas.
That reports the New York Times Friday that aides have been told during strategy sessions that Bidens has six grandchildren — not seven.
The little girl was conceived around December 2017 when Hunter was battling a crack cocaine addiction and dating his late brother Beau’s widow.
He later recounted in his 2021 memoir that he has no recollection of being with Roberts, who was first reported to be working at a strip club he frequented, but turned out to be on his company’s payroll.
“I had no recollection of our meeting,” Hunter wrote. ‘I had so little connection with anyone. I was a mess, but a mess for which I took responsibility.’
