Report: Joe Biden Used Influence to Get Hunter Biden’s Daughter into Penn

According to reports, President Joe Biden exerted pressure on the University of Pennsylvania to accept his granddaughter as a student before appointing the university’s president to a prestigious ambassadorship.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that he personally used these techniques to get Maisy Biden, one of his son Hunter Biden’s daughters, a spot at Penn.

The Free Beacon reported Saturday:

In 2018, Hunter Biden tapped his father and a number of Biden family connections to help get his daughter into the University of Pennsylvania. Text messages and emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop, reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, show how Joe and Hunter Biden worked behind the scenes to get a subpar family member into one of the most selective schools in the country.

Maisy Biden’s college admissions process could raise a number of uncomfortable questions for the president. The saga highlights exactly the kind of “legacy admissions” Biden has slammed. The story also highlights the Biden family’s occasionally shady dealings with the University of Pennsylvania just as congressional Republicans are probing alleged ethical misconduct by both Joe and Hunter Biden.
