Allies of the president reportedly told the New York Times that Joe Biden's "inability to say no" to his son, Hunter Biden, with regard to his business dealings has caused "avoidable political distractions."
The report says that his allies "have privately criticized Mr. Biden’s apparent inability to say no when Hunter sought to pull him into his business dealings."
"Some allies of the president say his loyalty to his son — inviting him to state dinners, flying with him aboard Marine One and standing on the White House balcony with him — has resulted in wholly avoidable political distractions," the report continued.
The outlet reported that Biden was "stunned" when Hunter's plea deal fell apart in July.
"He plunged into sadness and frustration," the report said, citing people close to the Biden family, who chose to remain anonymous. "Since then, his tone in conversations about Hunter has been tinged with a resignation that was not there before."
The allies reportedly said that Biden was "unwilling" to tell Hunter no.
