The White House decided, wrongly, to involve itself in Hunter Biden's art career by constructing an "Ethical arrangement" through which they supposedly wouldn't know who was buying his art.
Turns out that the gallery that is handling Hunter's art got a ton of money as part of a COVID "Disaster assistance loan."
The Georges Berges Gallery initially received a $150,000 COVID "Disaster assistance loan" from the Small Business Administration last year, according to public records.
In addition to the COVID disaster assistance loans, the SoHo gallery received nearly $80,000 in two payments in April 2020 and February 2021 under the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program, funds meant to help businesses keep up with paychecks to employees during the pandemic.
In other words, after Joe Biden came in, after Berges began working with Hunter Biden and after the White House inserted itself into Hunter's 'ethics deal' at the beginning of July, the gallery's loan was revised up to receive another $350,000.
While there is no evidence President Biden helped secure the fatter disaster relief loan for the gallery, a watchdog group found that of the more than 100 galleries in New York City's 10th congressional district, which includes SoHo, TriBeCa and Chelsea, the Georges Berges Gallery received "By far" the largest SBA disaster loan windfall.
The White House claimed they would avoid influence peddling by the arrangement of neither Hunter or Joe Biden knowing who the buyers were of the art.
