WASHINGTON — President Biden failed to list free vacations at the homes of businesspeople on his annual financial disclosure form this week — drawing a rebuke from ethicists and Republicans amid an ongoing political firestorm over Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ similar non-reporting of free trips from a businessman.
Biden enjoyed three beach getaways at the homes of the wealthy and politically connected owners during the past-year reporting period.
In two instances, Biden is known not to have paid the owner and in the third case it’s suspected the president did not pay.
Ethics experts Walter Shaub, who led the Obama-era Office of Government Ethics, and Richard Painter, the top ethics lawyer in the George W.

The turnip doesn’t have to disclose everything on his forms, he’s special, he’s a dem. Just like it doesn’t matter if he has classified material stored in his garage and Chinatown. No problem.
Hunter claims he's broke and can't afford to pay higher support payments to his baby mama, so who's supporting him, his former wife (you know she's getting alimony), and his new family? And what does he claim on his taxes? Can he be claimed as a dependent on his old man's taxes?
