The Biden administration only took over the White House last week, but it's already had to grapple with a web of ethical dilemmas created by the complicated business dealings of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris's families.
Now Biden Inc. is causing problems for the White House.
During the campaign, Joe Biden promised to build an "Absolute wall" between the White House and his family so that his relatives' businesses would be conducted with "Appropriate distance from the presidency and government."
Joe Biden's warning to Frank concerning business conflicts of interest isn't an isolated incident for the White House.
During the transition, Biden's aides said his family would agree to a code of conduct to avoid any conflicts of interest.
Amey suggested that the White House take detailed meeting notes when applicable, make relevant calendars public, and lay out in a letter or proclamation to federal employees that "Special access or favoritism" to Biden and Harris family members was "Frowned upon."
The new administration's violations are less legally clear-cut than complaints made against Trump and his family because Biden and Harris's relatives aren't employed by the government, according to Amey.
