FBI Tapes Reveal James Biden's Dealings in Unrelated Bribery Investigation
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
James Biden, the younger brother of President Joe Biden, has long benefited financially from his proximity to his powerful sibling, with his private business work often intersecting with his brother's public responsibilities. One example is his involvement in a deal with trial attorney Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, who paid James Biden's consulting firm $100,000 for advice on passing a tobacco bill in Congress. While James Biden's ties to Scruggs later brought him to the periphery of a bribery investigation, neither he nor his brother were charged or accused of wrongdoing. Congressional Republicans are now investigating whether President Biden assisted his family members' business deals, with subpoenas issued for James and his wife Sara Biden to testify.
