White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre won’t address President Joe Biden’s seventh grandchild so stop asking, Jean-Pierre implied this week — one of the “saddest things” one critic said.
Critics have accused the Biden family of abandoning their youngest grandkid whose father, first son Hunter, denied was his for years.
“There was a story this weekend in the New York Times about Hunter Biden’s daughter from Arkansas,” a reporter asked Jean-Pierre.
“Does the president acknowledge this little girl as his granddaughter?”
“I don’t have anything to share from here,” Jean-Pierre said bluntly, and then quickly called on a new reporter.

Biden’s troubled son denied parentage of his daughter until a 2019 DNA test confirmed he was the father. He recently settled a child support dispute with the mother in an Arkansas court.
The Biden family has never acknowledged Hunter’s estranged daughter, Navy, even after his parentage was confirmed.
White House aides have reportedly been instructed not to acknowledge the estranged grandchild.
The president told reporters in April that he has “six grandchildren” he’s in love with — not seven.
“I’m crazy about them,” the 46th president said. “I speak to them every single day. Not a joke.”
First Lady Jill Biden dedicated her new children’s book to her six grandchildren as well, excluding Hunter’s youngest daughter.
“It’s not lost on anybody that Jill Biden wrote a children’s book and [dedicated it] to her grandchildren,” her mother’s lawyer said recently.
“She could have kept it at that, but she named every child except Navy. They hung stockings for the dog at Christmas but not for Navy. That is one of the saddest things.”
