Biden ignores questions on the cocaine scandal AND whether he would meet his granddaughter – as shocking new study shows how little the White House responds to scandals
- President Joe Biden ignored reporters’ questions on Thursday
- He was asked about the cocaine investigation
- Biden was also asked about Hunter’s four-year-old daughter
President Joe Biden ignored shouted questions Thursday about the cocaine found in the West Wing and whether he’d be open to meeting Hunter’s four-year-old daughter Navy Joan.
The president was headed to South Carolina Thursday morning to tout the Inflation Reduction Act and troll Republican Rep. Joe Wilson – known for shouting ‘you lie!’ at President Barack Obama during a State of the Union address – for trying to repeal the law.
Biden will visit West Columbia, where Enphase Energy will announce up to 600 new jobs, created thanks to climate funding found in the Democrat-approved law.
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 to Marine One in silence.
On Wednesday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre swatted away questions on the two topics – which is in line with a new study that showed that she only answered 2 percent of questions this year related to Biden family scandals.

On Wednesday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred questions about the cocaine discovery to the Secret Service and wouldn’t bite when asked about four-year-old Navy Joan. ‘I don’t have anything to share from here,’ she said
The study, produced by the right-leaning Media Research Center, found that Jean-Pierre had been asked 252 questions about two topics – the discovery of classified documents at the president’s office and Delaware home and Hunter’s business dealings that are being investigated by Republicans in Congress.
Of those, 217 questions were asked about the classified documents and 35 questions were posed about the business dealings, between January 1 and June 30.
Jean-Pierre ‘concretely answered’ five questions on the documents scandal and one on Biden family ‘influence peddling,’ according to MRC’s report.
The research wrapped up before the discovery Sunday of a bag of cocaine, along a West Wing tour route.
Jean-Pierre referred the bevvy of cocaine-related questions at Wednesday’s briefing to the Secret Service – the agency currently investigating the incident.
Additionally on Friday, DailyMail.com reported that Hunter had settled a child support dispute with Lunden Roberts, 32, the mother of his four-year-old out-of-wedlock daughter Navy Joan.
As part of the deal, Hunter agreed to play a role in his daughter’s life – opening the door to grandpa Joe meeting her as well.

When asked whether the president would acknowledge his seventh grandchild, Jean-Pierre said Wednesday: ‘I don’t have anything to share from here.’
The pre-school age 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 being hung at the White House at Christmastime.
The New York Times reported Friday that aides have been told that Bidens have six grandchildren – not seven – during strategy sessions.
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 doesn’t remember being with Roberts, who was first reported to work at a strip club he frequented, but was found to be on his company’s payroll.
‘I had no recollection of our encounter,’ Hunter wrote. ‘That’s how little connection I had with anyone. I was a mess, but a mess I’ve taken responsibility for.’
