While Biden oversaw Iraq policy, a construction firm that employed Biden’s brother James magically secured $1.5 billion in contracts in Iraq.

Biden’s brother Frank has called his last name “a tremendous asset” for his personal business ventures.

Biden’s brother James told executives at a healthcare firm that the former vice president’s cancer initiative would promote their business, according to a participant in the conversation, who said the promise came as part of a pitch on behalf of potential investors in the firm.

Biden’s brother James bought land on a Caribbean island in 2005, then turned around and sold one-third of it the next year to a lobbyist close to Biden for what had been the cost of the entire property.

While Biden was vice president, his son Hunter joined him on Air Force Two for a trip to China. While in Beijing he arranged for his Chinese business partner to meet his father...

...Ten days after the trip, Hunter’s firm received an approval from the Chinese government-owned Bank of China that paved the way for more than a billion dollars in business for Hunter’s firm.

About one-fifth of the $11 million Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign raised went to Biden family members through companies that employed them.

As early as the 1970s, Biden’s brother James was cashing in on his name to secure “unusually generous” loans while then-Senator Biden sat on the Senate Banking Committee.
