Lost in all the recent hubbub about the first family disowning Hunter Biden’s love child, 4-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, has been the possible security threat to her and her mother, Lunden Roberts.
While the administration has stepped up security around other key figures in the public eye recently, such as Trump special counsel Jack Smith, the U.S. Secret Service does not appear to be providing security for Navy Joan Roberts or Lunden Roberts despite at least one documented threat.

That sounded odd to the folks at Judicial Watch, the Washington-based legal watchdog, who asked the Secret Service to check its records for any Biden requests to provide security. The agency, however, balked, drawing a Freedom of Information Act suit this week from the outfit.

In the suit, Judicial Watch is requesting all communications between the Bidens and the agency about security for Navy Joan Roberts, who is the president’s seventh grandchild though he has never acknowledged her and has recently been criticized for cruelly cutting her out of the family.

Not providing security, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, doesn’t make sense.
After filing suit, he said, “All of Joe Biden’s grandchildren can receive Secret Service protection while he’s in office. We frankly can’t imagine any good reason to deny security to this child.”
