PRESIDENT Joe Biden’s relatives began cashing in on his name on Inauguration Day with ads and questionable business dealings.
The president‘s brother, Frank Biden, reportedly appeared in a Florida lawsuit’s ad that used the presidency to bring attention to their class action lawsuit.
“The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront,” the ad for Berman Law Group says.
“The president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets.”
The ad appeared in the Daily Business Review on the day of Biden’s inauguration, and featured a picture of Frank, along with quotes regarding his relationship with his brother.
The ad focuses on a lawsuit the firm, which Frank is an advisor to, is leading against a group of Florida sugar cane companies, according to CNBC.
Biden reportedly warned his brother before he was sworn in as president to be careful about who he does business with, according to Politico.
“For Christ’s sake, watch yourself,” Biden said, according to the outlet.
“Don’t get sucked into something that would, first of all, hurt you.”
The warning came as Biden family dealings were, and continue to be, under intense scrutiny – with the president’s son, Hunter Biden, getting the brunt of that.
Hunter announced in December that he was under federal investigation for “tax affairs.”
Federal investigators in Delaware are reportedly looking into whether Hunter and his associates violated any tax or money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign counties like China.
He was also involved in a scandal last October, where photos and emails from a laptop – allegedly owned by Hunter – were leaked to the New York Post.
The emails called his dealings with China and the Ukraine into question.
Hunter is now reportedly trying his hand in the art business, and has partnered with Manhattan art dealer Georges Berges.
The New York Post reported that Berges has strong ties to China.
The president’s son, 51, has reportedly turned to art to deal with difficult personal struggles – like a drug addition.
It was reported last year that he had turned a portion of his LA home into an art studio, and was planning his first art show for sometime in 2021.
