"While the extent to which Joe Biden’s relatives have invoked their ties to him to advance their business careers has been a subject of ongoing controversy, the documents obtained by POLITICO demonstrate that Joe Biden was a central element of Jim Biden’s pitch to potential partners and investors during this period.
None of these Biden family members would answer specific questions related to Ameriore. The White House did not respond to detailed requests for comment.
Jim Biden has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing. His attorney, Paul Fishman, said in a statement that he “conducted himself ethically and honorably in all his business dealings.” A spokesman for Jim Biden declined to answer detailed follow-up questions, writing, “We are not able to participate in this story at this time.”
POLITICO’s investigation did not find that Joe Biden involved himself in the firm or took actions on its behalf. However, Joe Biden did benefit indirectly from his brother’s work with the firm. On the same day Jim Biden received a $200,000 payment from Americore, he made out a check for his brother Joe. The White House has said the check was for repayment of a loan, but did not respond to questions about the circumstances of the loan, including whether Joe Biden was aware of his brother’s income from Americore.'

From Wikipedia:
"Ideologically, Politico's coverage has been described as centrist on American politics and atlantist on international politics.
"In 2021 it was acquired for reportedly over 1 billion USD by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company. Axel Springer is Europe's largest newspaper publisher and had previously acquired Business Insider. Its employees have to abide by Axel Springer-wide guiding principles but unlike employees of its German newspapers, the employees of Politico do not have to sign a written commitment to the company's principles."
Business Insider is inarguably conservative. Politico is slowly headed that way.

Chairman Sanders Releases Report Showing Major Nonprofit Hospital Systems Exploiting Tax Breaks and Prioritizing CEO Pay Over Helping Patients Afford Medical Care.
“In 2020, nonprofit hospitals received $28 billion in tax breaks for the purpose of providing affordable health care for low-income Americans,” said Chairman Sanders. “And yet, despite these massive tax breaks, most nonprofit hospitals are actually reducing the amount of charity care they provide to low-income families even as CEO pay is soaring.

I know the right wing's knee jerk reaction is to blame everything on the Biden's - from fruit flies to your granny's arthritis, but that doesn't mean it's all true.

@mott-the-hoople said"President Biden "never had any involvement" in the business dealings of other members of his family, his brother James Biden testified Wednesday as he appeared for a voluntary private interview on Capitol Hill as part of House Republicans' impeachment inquiry.

"I have had a 50-year career in a variety of business ventures. Joe Biden has never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest in those activities," the president's younger brother said in a 10-page opening statement to lawmakers obtained by CBS News. "None."
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/james-biden-testimony-house-biden-impeachment/
"James Biden also denied any possible malicious activities in regards to a pair of checks he used to pay the president in 2017 and 2018, $40,000 and $200,000 respectively. The checks were marked as a “loan repayment,” but GOP investigators have expressed doubt that was their purpose.
Bank records previously reviewed by USA TODAY suggest the checks were indeed repayments for loans the president previously made to his sibling.
“They were short-term loans that I received from Joe when he was a private citizen, and I repaid them within weeks. He had no information at all about the source of the funds I used to repay him. The complete explanation is that Joe lent me money, and I repaid him as soon as I had the funds to do so,” James Biden’s statement read."

"Bank records reviewed by USA TODAY suggest that the checks were indeed repayments for loans Joe Biden made to his brother. The records show Joe Biden made two wire transfers of $40,000 on July 28, 2017, and $200,000 on Jan. 12, 2018, to James Biden through a bank account maintained by Joe Biden's attorney."
