Relatives Biden Aides Get Administration Jobs

Washington Post: “Barely a week into office, Biden made a promise that signaled a sharp break from his predecessor: No member of his family would be involved in government.”

“But that vow did not extend to his senior staff and their relatives. In the first few months of Biden’s presidency, at least five children of his top aides have secured coveted jobs in the new administration. They include two sons and a daughter of the White House counselor, the daughter of a deputy White House chief of staff and the daughter of the director of presidential personnel.”

Walter Shaub: “I’m sorry, I know some folks don’t like hearing any criticism of him. But this royally sucks. I’m disgusted. A lot of us worked hard to tee him up to restore ethics to government and believed the promises. This is a a real ‘fuck you’ to us—and government ethics.”
