Two nights before Hunter defied a legislative summons to appear before Congress, White House guest logs reveal, according to Jon Levine of the New York Post, Abbe Lowell, the counsel of Hunter Biden’s lawyer, and a top secretary to First Lady Jill Biden.
The presence of Lowell and Biden’s secretary, along with the schedule of the images, raises concerns about whether the White House and Hunter’s authorized staff are in cooperation.
The White House claimed the logs access related to a , White House Hanukkah reception , and that nobody discussed Hunter’s legitimate difficulties, Levine reported.
The incident occurred just before Hunter’s scheduled press conference on Capitol Hill, where he claimed he was a victim of a House investigation into former leader Joe Biden.

Joe Biden was “familiar,” according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who would later agree with what Hunter did say to reporters when he refused to appear for his ordered interview with investigators.
Levine covered Jill Biden’s aide’s background and impact:
The commission identified Bernal as one who , accessed classified material , at the Penn Biden Center before they were , actually discovered there , in November 2022.
Bernal, freely known as First Lady Jill Biden’s “work husband”, has become an legendary figure in the White House, where complaints of , bullying and sexual harassment , have circulated for decades.
Due to his relationship to the first family, the aide, who has been dating Jill Biden since 2008, is widely regarded as invincible.
