Hunter Biden’s oldest daughter, Naomi, worked as a lawyer on behalf of the government of Peru while living in the White House with her grandfather, President Joe Biden, a review of public records shows.
Naomi Biden, 29, joined Washington, DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter in January 2021, the same month Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.

The case is still ongoing and Naomi Biden’s specific role is unclear.
Foreign litigation is a specialty of Arnold & Porter, whose offices are less than a mile from the White House.
Firm litigators have successfully defended dozens of sovereign states, including Hungary, Bulgaria and Venezuela.
It is not clear how many other foreign nations Naomi Biden has represented while working there.
His current title at the firm is “international arbitration associate.” according to his LinkedIn.

“Everywhere we look, there appear to be major conflicts of interest where the Biden family used their name, access and power of the patriarch to benefit personal businesses. All of this must continue to be investigated and exhibitor — maybe Biden’s granddaughter should be the next person to appear before the Oversight Committee,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island) told The Post.
Cliff Sims, a top White House aide to former President Trump, wondered if “there is a foreign interest on the planet, friend or foe, that the Biden family has not represented.”

Biden’s granddaughter lived at the first residence from August 2022 to March 2023. A rep for Naomi Biden insisted she only worked on the case for “three weeks” in September 2021, and not while lived in the White House.
They declined to say why she was removed from the case and only offered that explanation after publication.
“Naomi Biden’s international arbitration work does not involve matters involving the US government: she is a young attorney and a member of international arbitration teams involving private sector claimants. She does not discuss confidential client work with anyone inside or outside the White House,” an Arnold & Porter spokesman told The Post.
The law firm declined to say whether Naomi Biden had represented other foreign nations since joining.

White House representatives did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
A Democratic strategist close to the Biden team insisted the matter was much ado about nothing.
