Biden tells White House crowd he has 'four granddaughters,' fails to mention fifth
President Biden told a crowd gathered at the White House that he had "four granddaughters,"but failed to mention his fifth granddaughter born out of
wedlock to Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts.

President Biden is facing backlash from conservatives following a report that his aides
have been told to say publicly that he only has six grandchildren, omitting Hunter Biden’s 4-
estranged daughter.

The president’s son, Hunter Biden settled his child support case in Arkansas last week,
,

ending a years-long paternity dispute over his 4-year-old daughter, whom both the
president and the first lady refuse to acknowledge as their seventh grandchild.

Announced in a court filing on Thursday, Hunter agreed to give his daughter some of his
paintings, and the mother of the child, Lunden Alexis Roberts, agreed to withdraw her
counterclaim to change their child's last name to "Biden."

The New York Times released a damning report Saturday saying the family dispute is
rooted in "money, corrosive politics and what it means to have the Biden birthright."

ABOUT BURISMA RAISES QUESTIONS

White House aides have been told during strategy meetings that the president and first
lady Jill Biden have six, not seven, grandchildren, two people familiar with the discussions
told the newspaper.

In April,Biden listed six of his grandchildren by name during a "take your child to work day"
event at the White House.

"Ihave six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. And speak I to them every single day.
Not a joke," he said at the time.

Biden has also put up Christmas stockings at the White House for six of the grandchildren,
but has repeatedly left his seventh grandchild out of the annual tradition.

SECOND YEAR IN A ROW

But as Biden seeks re-election in 2024 and as the speculation into Hunter’s foreign
business dealings ramps up, the president has decided to more publicly embrace his son,
Hunter, and grandson, Beau, bringing them to Camp David for the last two weekends in a
row.

Last month, the Justice Department announced that the president’s son had entered a
plea agreement regarding two tax violations and a felony gun charge, which will likely keep
him out of jail.

Conservatives on Twitter called the claims in the Times report that the Bidens are
shunning their granddaughter "gross" and "sad."

The White House didn't immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
