The official flight manifests for taxpayer-funded planes do not include the name of Hunter Biden, the son of Democrat President Joe Biden. Despite frequently traveling on Air Force One and Marine One, Hunter Biden’s name is not disclosed to reporters. The White House has defended this decision, stating that it is due to Hunter Biden’s ongoing legal situation. Critics argue that transparency is necessary, considering that public funds are used for these flights.
In a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned about the exclusion of Hunter Biden from the passenger lists.
The most recent example happened, revealing “to mark the anniversary of the 1972 car crash that killed Biden’s first wife, Neilia, and their then-1-year-old daughter Naomi.”
“That’s something that we’ve never done,” Jean-Pierre told reporters when asked about Hunter traveling aboard Marine One.
She added, “This is the family.
“The family gets to travel with the president, and that’s been the case with every other president.
“And so it’s not something that we’ve done or we would be doing moving forward.”
Jean-Pierre, once again, evaded the question when pressed on the matter.
“As it relates to the past couple of days, as I just stated to your colleague, is that the president and [his] family were obviously, it was a somber anniversary that they were recognizing,” Jean-Pierre said.
“So you can imagine what that is like for them.”

Hunter Biden has been the subject of numerous news stories in recent weeks, including facing indictments in California. Additionally, he made an unexpected press conference outside the Capitol last week, despite defying a congressional subpoena, as reported by Slay News.
Both Hunter Biden and the White House have been actively trying to avoid his legal issues. Their primary strategy involves portraying Hunter as a victim, particularly in relation to his struggles with substance abuse.
The fact that the White House refuses to explain why Hunter is not included in flight lists only adds to the ongoing questions from the American public.
