The class will focus on "how media polarization, fake news and the economics of the new business impact public policymaking in Washington D.C."

A Tulane University spokesperson confirmed to that Biden would be part of the fall semester class, even despite his appearance in recent headlines.

The president's son made a controversial remark when asked about his laptop that contained some private images of Hunter just before the 2020 election.

In another CBS interview, he said the contents on the laptop were based off of "Russian disinformation" that has been contested.

After his father won the 2020 presidential election, Hunter disclosed he was under federal investigation.

The contents of the laptop are still being reviewed, but some argue it contained unethical foreign business transactions carried out by Hunter while his dad was vice president.

As for the Tulane course, other guest speakers include former White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Deborah Birx, New Yorker columnist Susan Glasser, Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan, and New York Times columnist Bret Stephens.

Likewise, others include CBS' "Face The Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan, CNN correspondent Kylie Atwood, and Fox News political analyst and "The Five" co-host Juan Williams.
