EXCLUSIVEBiden grandkids to pay their portion of Italian G7 trip with president, including ride on Air Force One and stay at $1,000-a-night resort

• e-mail

Joe Biden's grandchildren will pay their portion of the trip to Italy, where they joined the president at the G7 conference and stayed with him at his expensive resort.

Naomi Biden, her husband Peter Neal, Maisy Biden and Finnegan Biden all joined the president on his trip. They hitched a ride on Air Force One and stayed with him at the faux medieval resort town Borgo Egnazia where rooms can cost $1,000 a night.

'Historically, family members of Presidents have frequently joined them during travel. Current practices are consistent with those used by prior Administrations. They cover all additional personal expenses,' a White House official told DailyMail.com.

Taxpayers pay for the president to travel and stay where ever security requires him to be.

For those not covered by the government, typically, the military charges the cost of a first class ticket to travel on Air Force One. The grandkids - the three eldest daughters of Biden's son Hunter - would be paying that flight charge and for their rooms at the resort.

For the majority of the two days in Italy, the grandkids have been staying out of sight. 

Only Finnegan was seen boarding Air Force One for the flight east while none of them were pictured departing the plane once it landed.  

Peter Neal, Finnegan and Maisy, however, were at President Biden's press conference on Thursday night. They sat in the front row and watched him take questions on the Ukraine, the Middle East and Hunter Biden's felony conviction.

Naomi Biden stayed behind closed doors amid speculation she is pregnant.

At his press conference, Biden repeated his vow not to pardon his son in his first public comments on Hunter since last week's ruling. Hunter could face up to 25 years in prison tied to his 2018 purchase for a handgun.

He also said he was satisfied his son got a fair trial and reiterated his support for him.

'I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He's one of the brightest, most decent men I know. And I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything. I said I would abide by the jury decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him,' Biden said.

And he answered a simple 'no' when asked directly if he would commute Hunter's sentence.

Meanwhile, Naomi Biden has been active online during the trip.

She posted a photo of Neal and an unidentified male friend at the luxury seaside resort where the president is staying to her instagram stories. She is not visible in the shot.

Calling it 'mis amores!!!' (Italian for 'my loves'), the photo shows Neal and the friend sitting on lounge chairs, a plate of fruit nearby. It appears to be taken near a swimming pool. Olive trees are in the background against a lush, blue sky.

The Biden clan is staying at the luxurious faux medieval resort town Borgo Egnazia that has hosted the likes of Justin Timberlake and Madonna. Timberlake married actress Jessica Biel there in 2020.

A developer constructed the entire town, modeling it on a 15th century village. It features modern pools, views of olive groves, coastal scenes, and ‘farmhouse chic’ interior settings, with suites going for $2,000. 

There are even rescue donkeys on the property for the guests' amusement. 

The total cost of the project was $160 million and took years to complete. 

All of Hunter Biden's adult children are at the resort with their grandfather (first lady Jill Biden was never scheduled to attend the G7). 

30-year-old Naomi testified at Hunter's trial. 

She was called to testify on his behalf, where she painted a rosy picture of Hunter's sobriety in the lead-up to his October 2018 gun purchase over which he was charged.  

But the prosecution read text messages between her and her father that contradicted what she said.

Naomi faltered under the ambush, saying: 'I don't remember any of this.'

She looked on the verge of tears, wiping one eye as she walked out after hugging her father. 

She was dressed in all black, with a black jacket over dark, baggy clothes.

There has been speculation that she is pregnant with her now-husband Peter's child.

The couple have made no formal announcement but it was 'the talk of the state dinner' last month, according to sources in the room.

Naomi is said to be due before the November election.

It is a quick trip to Italy for the meetings with international leaders. 

Biden is scheduled to depart on Friday night for Los Angeles, where Hunter lives. He will attend a fundraiser there on Saturday night featuring Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

The grandchildren are expected to travel to Los Angeles with him.
