President Joe Biden ignored staff directives by calling young girls on stage during a ceremony honoring Gotham FC, sparking renewed scrutiny.

President Joe Biden invited young girls on stage during an event celebrating the Gotham FC women's soccer team, despite staff advising against it.
Biden, 81, expressed frustration that his staff restricts his actions, but declared he would continue to do what he wants.
The president's interaction with the children included asking for their names, with some comments inaudible over the microphone.
Critics have previously labeled Biden 'Creepy Joe' due to past incidents of unwanted contact with women and children.
Biden's actions come as he nears retirement, having been pressured by fellow Democrats to step down from the party's presidential nomination.
