President Biden’s top national security aide Jake Sullivan was asked point-blank Monday if he was part of an influence-peddling conspiracy benefitting Biden’s family — after a former White House stenographer made the accusation earlier this month and demanded to speak to both the FBI and a Delaware grand jury.

Sullivan, 46, gave a single-word answer — “no” — when asked by The Post for a response to the allegation by Mike McCormick, who outed the current White House national security adviser as an anonymous vice presidential press source who spoke nine years ago to reporters aboard then-VP Biden’s jet.

McCormick says Sullivan touted Ukrainian natural gas aid aboard Air Force Two on April 21, 2014, while flying to Kyiv just days after then-second son Hunter Biden secretly joined the board of Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma, where he was paid up to $1 million per year despite no relevant industry experience.

The Post asked Sullivan about McCormick’s allegation at the regular White House press briefing.

“On Ukraine, I wanted to give you the opportunity to respond to a former White House stenographer who this month outed you as [the] anonymous senior administration official who briefed reporters on Air Force Two en route to Ukraine in 2014,” a Post reporter began.
