This revelation comes in the wake of Biden's criticism of legacy admissions and other practices that perpetuate privilege rather than fostering equal opportunity.
According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, sought assistance from his father and other family connections to ensure his daughter, Maisy Biden, gained admission to the prestigious university.
Text messages and emails retrieved from Hunter Biden's laptop revealed the behind-the-scenes efforts made by the Bidens to secure a place for Maisy, despite her allegedly subpar qualifications.
The controversy surrounding Maisy Biden's college admissions process raises uncomfortable questions for President Biden, particularly as it highlights the very legacy admissions he has criticized.

Gutmann's nomination was confirmed by the Senate in January 2022. The Free Beacon also notes that Hunter Biden believed he could leverage his father's influence to secure a teaching position at Penn, even during a period when he was struggling with drug addiction.
