SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Joe Biden pledged to erect an"absolute wall" between the presidency and his family's business dealings and said he has never discussed business with relatives, following an event here on Wednesday.
The former vice president's comments, in response to a question from POLITICO, come amid allegations that his younger brother James and his son Hunter have sought to use his political connections to enrich themselves, and amid scrutiny of Hunter's business dealings in China and Ukraine. Earlier this month, former White House ethics czar Richard Painter told POLITICO that Biden should ask his relatives to pledge to refrain from business activities, such as taking foreign sources of funding, that present potential conflicts of interest.
Biden made his comments at a South Carolina stop after he discussed his new dramatic ad concerning health care that features the death of his wife and daughter in a 1972 car crash and his son, Beau Biden’s, brain cancer diagnosis that ultimately claimed his life in 2015.
No more Chinese millions...Flow Joe, you've already collected more than you and your two sons can spend in a lifetime...you're a hoax and the voters are loving it!!
