President Biden forewarned brother Frank Biden not to get involved in business deals that might tarnish the family name before he touted his relationship with the the new president in an Inauguration Day ad, according to a new report.
Frank Biden bragged about his proximity to the new commander-in-chief in a ad for a Florida legal firm with which he does business.
Joe Biden reportedly warned his brother during his 2020 presidential campaign.
"Don't get sucked into something that would, first of all, hurt you." According to a CNBC report, the ad, taken out in the Daily Business Review newspaper, features a photograph of Frank Biden alongside several quotations connecting the adviser to President Biden.
"The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront; the president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets, for example," reads the ad. Biden rejects the argument that he's using his brother's name and power to promote his business efforts.
"In an email to CNBC, Frank Biden said he has not used his brother's name to gain clients," the report said.
President Biden's son Hunter had a lucrative deal with the Ukraine natural gas company Burisma Holdings while his father was vice president.
