‘Not Normal’: Biden Turns White House Into Housing Option for Extended Family

President Biden’s Extended Family Takes Up Residence in the White House

President Joe Biden has broken records by having more adult relatives living in the White House than any other president in recent history. Reports suggest that he has turned the official residence into a free housing option for his extended family.

Aside from his son Hunter Biden, who is rumored to be living at the residence to avoid getting served with legal papers in his messy child custody battle, the president’s granddaughter Naomi and her then-fiance Peter Neal also lived at the White House for “a few months” last fall.

Living in the White House for Convenience

Naomi Biden, Hunter Biden’s oldest child, told Vogue last year that she and her fiance moved into the White House because their apartment lease ran out. With 16 bedrooms, 35 bathrooms, a full-time chef, and a team of staff, the White House is far more extravagant than even the $12,000-per-month Hollywood Hills home that Hunter Biden lived in three years ago while refusing to pay child support.

These living arrangements could pose a security risk because the extended family members have easy access to the West Wing and White House offices where sensitive business is conducted, according to former White House ethics counsel Richard Painter.

Family Members Should Stay Out of U.S. Government Business

Painter said family members living at the house “should be staying out of the West Wing unless they’re accompanied” by the president or authorized staff. “What you don’t want is family members just drifting on down there on their own or even being invited down there and getting involved in official meetings,” he added. “They need to stay away from U.S. government business.”

Naomi Biden and her husband have recently moved out of the White House to live in nearby Georgetown, the neighborhood she grew up in as a child, according to a source familiar with the couple.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
