President Joe Biden’s son, convicted felon Hunter Biden, is now reportedly acting as the official gatekeeper for access to his father as Biden’s family moves to save his presidency following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump.

Axios reported that Hunter Biden, a drug addict who faces additional criminal trials and remains under investigation, has turned into his father’s “de facto gatekeeper for longtime friends.”

The news comes after NBC News reported last week that Hunter Biden was attending official White House meetings as the family seeks to grab the reins of power away from advisers who they feel have damaged the president and whom they suspect of leaking to the media.

The president has often referred to his son — who has a history of using prostitutes, belonging to sex clubs, and recording many of his alleged illicit activities on camera — as the “smartest guy I know.” Hunter Biden fathered a child with a stripper while he hooked up with his deceased brother’s wife.

The fact that Hunter Biden now controls access to his father presents serious ethical concerns for the administration given that Hunter Biden is accused of trading on the family name to make millions of dollars while his father served as vice president in the Obama administration.

Hunter Biden has also faced controversy after he became an artist and started selling his artwork with hefty price tags that many critics and ethics experts have said raise red flags because they do not believe that the art is worth anywhere near the asking price. At least 10 pieces of art have been sold for a total of $1.5 million.

The radio station that hosted President Joe Biden’s first post-debate interview cut ties on Sunday with the host who conducted the interview after she admitted to asking Biden questions that were given to her by his team.

The questions reportedly were drafted by officials at the White House and were then sent to the radio station by Biden’s presidential campaign.

Andrea Lawful-Sanders, host of “The Source” on WURD in Philadelphia, told CNN that “the questions were sent to me for approval. I approved them.”

“I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved,” she added.

Sara M. Lomax, President and CEO, WURD Radio, said in a statement that the interview was arranged and negotiated without the “knowledge, consultation or collaboration” of WURD’s management.

“The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners,” the statement said. “As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately.”

“WURD Radio remains an independent voice that our audience can trust will hold elected officials accountable,” the statement continued. “As Pennsylvania’s only independent Black-owned talk radio station, WURD Radio has cultivated that trust with our audience over our 20-year history. This is something we take very seriously. Agreeing to a pre-determined set of questions jeopardizes that trust and is not a practice that WURD Radio engages in or endorses as a matter of practice or official policy.”

Lomax added that the radio station was “not a mouthpiece for the Biden or any other Administration.”
