Trump White House Slammed As ‘Absolutely Disgraceful’ For New Partisan Website Section

President Donald Trump’s administration made some controversial changes Thursday to the White House website, adding former President Bill Clinton’s affair and Hunter Biden’s past substance abuse struggles to a new section dubbed the “Major Events Timeline.”

Most of the entries are standard fare that commemorate moments such as the rebuilding of the White House after the War of 1812 or the construction of the Oval Office in 1909. Others appear to exclusively target Democrats or political figures Trump has openly feuded with.

A timeline entry for 1998 titled simply “Bill Clinton Scandal” reads, “President Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky was exposed, leading to White House perjury investigations. The Oval Office trysts fueled impeachment for obstruction.”

The timeline entry concerning the son of former President Joe Biden features admitted to “speculation” — and includes a photo of Hunter Biden naked in a bathtub that appears to have been taken during his past struggle with drug addiction.

The 2023 item states, “During [former President Joe] Biden’s administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small, zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby. Speculation has pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user.”

“Additional evidence includes a laptop, seized in 2019, which contains photos of frequent drug use alongside emails about foreign business dealings (Ukraine, China) involving his father, Joe, while he was Vice President,” the White House timeline entry continued.

Hunter Biden has denied selling political access during his father’s time in office. He was a major target of Trump’s ahead of the 2020 presidential election as the MAGA leader was campaigning against Joe Biden.

The Trump administration also added an entry specifically about Joe Biden to the new timeline, writing about his 2023 White House event marking International Transgender Day of Visibility: “The Biden/Harris administration hosts transexuals at the White House.”

Another entry chronicled former President Barack Obama meeting with “members of the Muslim Brotherhood” in 2012. The Trump administration said the group “promotes Islamist extremism and has ties to Hamas” in an effort to paint Obama as a terrorist sympathizer.

It has prompted furious reactions from critics mourning the loss of presidential decorum.
