Beau Biden Foundation took in millions in donations, only spent thousands on its mission

Biden, Inc. takes care of its friends

The board has been heavy with Biden family members. Hunter was a board member in 2020, during the time that the New York Post broke the laptop story. A sticker from the foundation was on the laptop. Ashley Biden, Joe and Jill’s daughter, and Hallie Biden, Beau’s widow, were also on the board in 2020. The foundation reeks of another venture for Biden, Inc. Currently, Hallie is the only one still on the board. It is unclear if any of the Bidens received salaries. However, with Hunter Biden’s history of trading on his father’s position in government and the family name, it is reasonable for observers to be skeptical that the family is not enriching itself through a non-profit. (The Big Guy always gets 10%.)

Former FBI director Louis Freeh was also on the board in 2020.

There seems to be a transparency problem. The foundation wouldn’t provide a copy of its 2020 tax filing to the New York Post but referred it to the Guidestar website. On Friday, the document had suddenly disappeared.

The group said that following Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration, it wouldn’t take money from lobbyists or foreign donors and would release names of its major contributors on its website in a bid to increase transparency.
But the organization refused to provide a copy of its 2020 tax filing to The Post in early March. It later said the document was available on the Guidestar website.
The document posted to the site earlier this week included a list of top donors, but by Friday that list was missing from the filing.

Hmm. The list of donors includes political supporters of Joe Biden. One donor, Joe Kiani, has benefitted from millions of dollars in federal contracts and he was named to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology by Biden. That is a prestigious position. Theirs is a longtime friendship.

Biden in September of last year placed close confidant Joe Kiani, the founder and CEO of the medical technology company Masimo Corporation, on the influential President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Kiani’s company, which manufactures various medical devices, has received almost $3 million in federal government contracts since Biden took office in 2021. Its contracts include funding from the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services.
The council, according to its website, “advises the president on matters involving science, technology, education, and innovation policy” and “provides the president with scientific and technical information that is needed to inform public policy.”
The new post and contracts were awarded just a few years after Kiani emerged as one of Biden’s biggest benefactors. In 2017, the Masimo Foundation donated at least $1 million to the Biden Foundation, on top of up to $500,000 from Kiani and his wife, according to donations that were disclosed by the foundation. During the 2020 campaign, Kiani bundled more than $1 million for Biden and hosted in-person and virtual fundraisers for him. Kiani also gave $750,000 to the pro-Biden super PAC Unite the Country, and his foundation gave another $1 million for Biden’s inaugural committee.
The Biden-Kiani relationship dates back years, and the president has not attempted to shield the friendship. At a 2018 conference sponsored by an organization Kiani funds, Biden referred to the businessman as “one of my closest friends.” In 2015, then-vice president Biden delivered the keynote address at Kiani’s Patient Safety, Science, and Technology Summit.

That sounds pretty swampy. It does nothing to improve the Biden family’s reputation for graft and influence-buying. One member of the House Oversight Committee says he will look into potential “cronyism”.
