The White House Press Office banned The New York Post from President Joe Biden’s only public event on Monday as federal prosecutors are closer than ever to charging Hunter Biden.
The embattled First Son is expected to be brought up on tax fraud and other crimes.
From The New York Post:
The Post has closely covered the president’s ties to his relatives’ foreign dealings and first reported in October 2020 on files from Hunter’s abandoned laptop that link Joe Biden to ventures in China and Ukraine.
Biden, who falsely characterized The Post’s reporting as Russian disinformation, appeared with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to talk about airline policies in the White House-adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Biden ultimately took no shouted questions at the venue, which houses the set of a “fake” White House and about 50 theater-style seats for reporters — about 20 of which were empty Monday.
…
In a Monday email, White House staff informed The Post: “We are unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the Investing in Airline Accountability Remarks on 5/8. The remarks will be live-streamed and can be viewed at WH.gov. Thank you for understanding. We will let you know if a credential becomes available.”

The NY Post, which has taken the lead in covering the Hunter Biden scandal, was barred from today's press event by the White House. https://t.co/SHm3prhmIh The NY Post is one of the nation's top 10 largest newspapers and one of the nation's oldest publications.
