White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said that he learned “everything” about being a “good father” from President Biden.
Klain made the comments during a transition event with incoming White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and Biden on Wednesday evening.
“As the president mentioned, I joined Joe Biden’s Senate staff 36 years ago. And over those 36 years, I’ve picked up three kids, got engaged, paid for six college advanced degrees. And so I just want to say this one thing,” Klain said. “Today, I learned everything I know about how to be a good father from Joe Biden. He is the best father I know, the best role model.”
Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has been under federal investigation since 2018 for possible violations relating to tax and foreign lobbying, false statements, and more.
