Under growing pressure over alleged financial improprieties and a special counsel investigating the handling of classified material, President Joe Biden is receiving additional scrutiny for his failure to list free vacations at the homes of businesspeople on his annual financial disclosure form this week.
The president is receiving criticism from ethicists and Republicans for actions similar for what Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is currently being pilloried — non-reporting of free trips from a businessman. The left-leaning ProPublica has published almost a dozen stories about Thomas’ trips and relationships with the wealthy. A search of ProPublica’s archives found no stories about Biden’s stays at billionaire homes.
