There are plenty of good arguments for not allowing him anywhere near the White House.

Hunter Biden has problematic ties to China and a history of what looks like criminal behavior. There are plenty of good arguments for not allowing him anywhere near the White House.

Instead, he’s attending meetings there.

Hunter Biden has joined meetings with President Joe Biden and his top aides since his father returned to the White House from Camp David, Maryland, on Monday evening, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The president’s son has also been talking to senior White House staff members, these people said.

While he is regularly at the White House residence and events, it is unusual for Hunter Biden to be in and around meetings his father is having with his team, these people said. They said the president’s aides were struck by his presence during their discussions.

One of the people familiar with the matter said Hunter Biden has been closely advising his father since the family gathered over the weekend at Camp David after Thursday’s debate. This person said Hunter Biden has “popped into” a couple of meetings and phone calls the president has had with some of his advisers.

Another person familiar with the matter said the reaction from some senior White House staff members has been, “What the hell is happening?”

What’s happening is that the Biden administration is governed by the whims of its leading family. Sensing trouble in the air, Hunter is now one of the few people that the family and his father can trust.

And that’s despite all the photos and videos.

This is mafia type stuff. It’s deeply unhealthy for the administration and the country.
