Former President Obama’s ethics chief blasted the White House's ethics plan around the sale of Hunter Biden's artwork.
The White House announced its ethics plan surrounding the sale of the presidential progeny's pieces on Thursday, saying the younger Biden would not be privy to who is buying his artwork to try to avoid ethical pitfalls, according to a report by the Washington Post.
Walter Shaub, Obama’s former ethics chief, eviscerated the White House in a Twitter thread, saying the administration is trying to "make sure we will never know" who the buyers are.
