A Democratic Party insider has spoken out to reveal who “commandeered the White House” after former President Joe Biden’s presidential debate performance on CNN last June.
According to former Democratic National Committee (DNC) member Lindy Li, Hunter Biden was “running” the administration’s operations in the aftermath of the event.
Li made the allegation during an appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show.
According to Li, who was a top DNC official at the time, Joe Biden’s son took control of key decision-making processes despite having no official role or security clearance.
“After the [CNN] debate, Hunter basically commandeered the White House,” Li said.
“He sat in on all of the White House top-level meetings.
“We had a former cocaine addict sitting in on the most sensitive meetings of the most consequential and important government in world history.
“Does that sit right with you?”
She further claimed that Hunter Biden acted as a gatekeeper, controlling what information reached the president.
“Without security clearance mind you,” Li stated.
“That’s who was basically running the show.
“So, Hunter basically battened down the hatches after the debate to make sure his father would only receive intel he pre-approved.”
Li, a longtime Democrat operative, had previously been a vocal supporter of Biden’s presidency.
However, following the election, she distanced herself from the party and registered as an independent.
She has been particularly critical of the massive financial backing behind former Vice President Kamala Harris.
While her claims remain unverified, they raise questions about the inner workings of the Biden-Harris administration.
It raises significant concerns regarding who was running the country during the critical period following the debate.
The event, which was widely seen as a disaster for Biden, intensified concerns about his cognitive abilities and led to speculation about who was making key decisions in the White House.
Li also spoke about the state of the Democratic Party, describing it as being in turmoil.
She suggested that Harris was an unpopular choice for a future presidential run.
Li noted that Harris’s potential bid for California governor would put her in direct competition with current Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis.
Kounalakis is a longtime Democrat ally.
Ryan, the show’s host, commented that Harris would likely win if she ran for governor.
However, Li pointed out that there had been a shift in sentiment among Hollywood’s elite.
This shift has intensified in the wake of the wildfires that have ravaged parts of the state.
“There had been a complete mood shift across Hollywood,” she noted.

Li indicated that even prominent liberals were questioning the current direction of the Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, as debates continue over who was really in control at the end of Biden’s presidency, Democrats have been vocal in their criticism of Elon Musk’s role in overseeing government finances.
Musk, appointed by President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has faced opposition from Democrats.
Democrats argue that “unelected officials” should not have such oversight.
Musk, however, has pointed out the irony in the attacks.
He notes that DOGE operates under the authority of the president.
Meanwhile, unelected bureaucrats in agencies like USAID, who the Democrats are defending, appear to be challenging Trump’s ability to oversee his own executive branch.
The controversy surrounding who was actually running the White House in the final months of Biden’s presidency continues to raise questions.
The concerns are now mounting in light of allegations that Hunter Biden played a direct role in high-level decision-making.
As scrutiny over the administration’s transparency grows, further revelations could shed light on the true extent of his influence.
