Some of the president's relatives have invoked their last name in business dealings to suggest access to power. Now, Republicans are investigating.

For years, as Joe Biden has sought to assure the American public he deserves their trust, he’s relied upon a go-to phrase meant to underscore his credibility: “I give you my word as a Biden.” But that’s not the only way the Biden family name has been used.

After Joe Biden took office as vice president, Frank Biden went to work for a charter school startup in Florida called Mavericks in Education. He registered in 2011 as a lobbyist for the company, which identified him in press releases as the “brother of Vice President Joe Biden.” His job included pitching new schools to local officials in the Sunshine State. Part of his pitch was being a Biden.

Following Trumps playbook which was just fine back then but now suddenly it’s not ! Hypocrisy at its finest !

Sounds like somewhere in Africa

This the same thing trump did.

About time

Maybe Biden had a side hustle, documents family name gig?

Same as the dems did with Trump.

Whose last name are they supposed to use?

Now do trump

scum bags

Didn’t Ivan’s Trump get 54 patents while her father was president. Was that legal?

It must be bad for CNN to dump on Biden like this.

No way! A relative using his or her name to gain something. Never been done ever before in history. Great news! Sarcasm

Fair enough.

Didn’t his son do that? Probably from when he walked past and seen the classified documents that POTUS left around his home and the WhiteHouse tried to cover up. 🤔😮

People do realize that this is how it works right? It's not WHAT you know but WHO you know.....

That’s not a crime.

The problem is Biden is no wet behind the ears politician who didn't know what or what not to do like POTUS 45. Biden's been a fixture in DC since 1972. Seen 9 presidents come & go rise & fall. He knew not to keep confidential docs. I voted for Biden but this is on him.

Not Republican, All parties shall investigate.

Republicans are chaos agents.

...and Trump's kids? A free ride?

As a Canadian I find it amazingly funny that CNN would write an article about Republicans investigating anything. Their record of insanity/lies is absolutely laughable. What a waste of time and words... did you hire someone from FOX News lately?

He won’t acknowledge his own grandchild from the stripper Hunter knocked up. And all you democrats pretend he is a noble and kind man . 🤣🤡

In every corner of the world 🤔 in uncontacted tribes 🙄 someone is dropping the chief's name to get ahead. I'd believe in a Biden being better and based🤔 Trump ™️ tracks with Trouble, bankrupt and turmoil.

People at companies all across America leverage their access to power! People in entertainment do as well! 🤔I am pretty sure people in the news media have family members that may leverage their last name to

It's there any need to investigate?😒

Lol you Biden supporters are so simple. The DNC is pushing Biden out now. Why you think the leftwing media has now decided that the laptop is worth pursuing?

Now do Trumps.

So what. When is that a crime

I was out in the barn. Did I miss announcement that Fox bought CNN?

Term Limits would have stopped this behavior. 🇺🇸

This is so silly. Of course you’re going to make sure ppl know who you’re related to; the trumps & kushners did it

That's every rich kid ever, everywhere, since time began.

I often try to hide my last name from people...makes them suspicious but...what the hay.

I bet you if CNN investigated Pence, Trump, McConnell, Schumer, Pelosi and many other high ranking officials in Washington’s family they would find that some family member who have tried to leverage their last name! 🤔

Hun😟

Like the one who got $2,000,000,000 from Saudi arabia?
