REPORT: Biden Took Hunter’s Advice On Acknowledging 7th Granddaughter After Disowning Her For Years

Only after President Joe Biden received assurances from his son Hunter Biden did he change his mind about acknowledging his seventh grandchild, a product of an affair between Hunter and a girlfriend, according to NBC News.

Sources say President Biden was waiting for the “green light” from his embattled son following a lengthy legal battle over paternity tests and name rights which saw the mother and daughter denied from using the Biden name for any material benefit. Last week President Biden spoke publicly for the first time about his granddaughter, saying, “Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”

In advance of a court settlement between Hunter and the mother, the White House prepared a statement that sources say sat for days as the president waited for his son to tell him whether or not to acknowledge the little girl. When Hunter’s approval finally came, he allegedly told his father that acknowledging Navy would also give him political cover from Republicans and media elites who have hammered him for projecting a family-friendly aura while disowning a grandchild.

The Biden family must now nail down the logistics of a visit between little Navy and President Biden who sources say wants to meet with her and the girl’s mother. Hunter has so far not publicly admitted whether he has met the girl, either. In his memoir “Beautiful Things” the embattled first son spoke derisively about Navy’s mother:

“The other women I’d been with during rampages since my divorce were hardly the dating type. We would satisfy our immediate needs and little else. I’m not proud of it. It’s why I would later challenge in court the woman from Arkansas who had a baby in 2018 and claimed the child was mine — I had no recollection of our encounter,” Hunter wrote.

The White House declined to comment on the latest revelation, saying only that the acknowledgment of Navy is a “private, family matter.” In a podcast interview on Monday, President Biden stated he has “seven grandkids” and that “family is the beginning, middle and end.”

President Biden needs to continue projecting his stoic family image if he hopes to beat former President Donald Trump, who is the Republican frontrunner for his party’s presidential nomination and has begun to eclipse the incumbent in recent polling.
