President Joe Biden revealed that his son Hunter Biden and his wife may have lost their home in the devastating Pacific Palisades fire.
During a Wednesday afternoon news conference, the president listened to state and local fire officials explain the devastation caused by the fire as well as the current measures in place to combat it. Biden was briefed on the matter alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
Newsom later thanked Biden for his administration’s fast response to the fire, adding that he had “deep gratitude” for the quick disaster declaration. The president then revealed that his youngest son’s home may have been damaged by the fire.
NEWSOM: Thank you for being here and not just being here today. Thank you for being here since the minute of this incident. When there was a ten acre fire less than 24 or so hours ago. Deep gratitude.
BIDEN: It’s astounding what’s happening. There’s only one piece of good news. My son lives out here and his wife. They got a notification yesterday their home was probably burned to the ground. Today, it appears that maybe still standing but I’m not sure. But the good news is I’m a great grandfather as of today.
