The White House has defended its role in helping to broker a deal that will shroud art deals by President Joe Biden's son in secrecy.
Paintings by Hunter Biden are expected to fetch up to $500,000 (£360,000) apiece at auction this autumn.
Any buyers will be kept anonymous to stop them seeking political influence with the Bidens, the White House says.
But a former White House ethics chief said the arrangement was "very disappointing".
The younger Biden's business dealings in Ukraine, China and elsewhere have often been held up by Republican critics as a conflict of interest for his father, which both Bidens deny.

So only people in the White House will know who the buyers are? How the hell does that make it less corrupt?
To keep the money hidden that’s pouring in from the Ukraine, China, Russia.... so they keep up their foreign ownership of the corrupt Biden family???
Hunt her might be on something but he’s no Peter Max
Well...mebbe the peter part.
Well supposedly the buyers will be anonymous both to Hunter and to the WH, but even Obama’s former ethics advisor called BS on that, per the article. Basically, the only people who won’t know who the buyers were is us.

This is just a scheme to get wealth into the Biden family. The Art is worthless. I mean who wants a pedophile’s art on your wall. Especially one with no training or ability in art.
If you buy a piece anonymously, and intend to stay anonymous, how could you display it anywhere?
If you can't show it to anyone, why buy it?
Maybe this is not about "art" after all?

Sounds legit.
these are payoff for influence.
10% to the big guy
20% to the FIB for the coverup of taped rapes of
little children, on hard drives — now for third year.
Riiiight. Because a crack-head's art work is totally worth $500K
“Maybe this is not about “art” after all?”
Simply another money laundering scheme. Like the books they write after getting huge advances, and nobody buys or reads.
I wonder who the real artist is. Epstein preyed on art students.Maybe Hunter has his own studio with a harem.First Liberals hijacked Hollyweird, now they want art, next the music industry needs to fall in line.America will be artistically stunted from this point forward.

Nobody is buying this line. making the buyers public would reduce the possibility of political influence. The public would know the buyers, which would make it obvious if said buyer then got a nice fat government contract.
Hunter Biden’s sole job is to be a bag man for Biden. The paintings, the consulting jobs, the board positions are all just a cover for bribery.
He could design momma’s dresses...

She looks good next to BIG MIKE
Joe is the Mongolian Candidate, or something like that.
“Going once. Going twice. SOLD to Mr. Ping, again, for 2 million dollars.”
So every lobbyist will have a Hunter painting in his office or just tell The Big Guy they bought one. What a scam. Were the Clintons even this corrupt?
Money laundering, particularly when the WH vows to keep secret those purchasing the art.
