Biden's brother abandons UK clean energy project after White House review

James Biden, the president's brother, abandoned a clean-energy project based in the United Kingdom after a White House review over conflicts of interest.

The Financial Times reported Thursday that Biden had created an investment vehicle last month with a U.K. lawyer and two Argentine businessmen. Biden reportedly launched the business, known as 2BT, with his wife Sara Jones Biden and partner Peter Teare.

The company then established Shelbourne Partners to "explore prospective investment opportunities, particularly in the clean-energy sector," Teare told the FT.

Biden later parted ways after the White House counsel's office conducted a review as part of the administration's new ethics rules, which are designed to ensure the president's family finances do not conflict with any official government business.

You know the right would have raised a stink if he stuck around.

Yup.
Just like we know that the right would NOT have raised a stink if it were Trump's children with Trump in power.

In fact we all know examples of how his kids made millions off of his position.
