WATCH: Joe Biden Proudly Lists All His Grandkids, Except Hunter Biden’s Love Child

President Biden Proudly Lists Grandchildren, Leaves Out Love Child

During a White House event Thursday, President Joe Biden proudly listed six of his grandchildren, but left out his seventh grandchild, Navy Joan, who is at the center of a custody battle with her mother, Lunden Alexis Roberts. Hunter Biden, the father of Navy Joan, is currently battling in court to prevent his daughter from taking the last name Biden.

A Court-Ordered Appearance

Arkansas Circuit Court judge Holly Meyer recently ordered Hunter Biden to personally appear at future hearings in the case to answer questions about his laptop and financial records on it. If Hunter Biden appears at hearings, it will be his first public appearance in the case. The Biden family has refused to publicly acknowledge the girl, even though a court-ordered DNA test proved “with scientific certainty” that she is Hunter Biden’s child.

A Custody Battle Over a Name

Among the matters that will likely be discussed at the next hearing in May is whether Roberts may change her daughter’s last name to “Biden.” Hunter Biden opposed the move, citing “scorn in the community for the Biden name.”

Progress of the Litigation

“I want both of your clients at every hearing that I conduct,” Meyer told attorneys for Roberts and Hunter this week. “I will no longer allow us to dismiss clients from these hearings, because it is interfering with the progress of this litigation which is taking way too long to get over simple points.”

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