Only 10 days into his Presidency, Joe Biden’s emphasis on “ethics” has come back to bite him—and judging from the activities of his family, an epidemic of “bites” will follow, too large to be labelled only “nips.”
A Washington Post article on page A7 today reports that the Florida law firm which employs the President’s brother, Frank Biden, ran a prominent two-full page “advertorial” in the Daily Business Review on Inauguration Day, promoting the work of the Berman Law Group, which employs Frank Biden, as a “non-attorney senior adviser.” The ad shows a smiling Frank Biden, and highlights his relationship with the President, “emphasizing their shared values.” Its “focus is the Berman Law Group, and Frank Biden’s role in a class-action case against sugar cane growers.” The Post says the ad is “fashioned to resemble a news story about the firm’s involvement in the sugar cane case, though it appears in the clearly labeled `Advertorial Section.’” The ad, of which the Post displays a facsimile over its coverage, cites Frank Biden’s connection with the President multiple times.
