Bondi spoke several times of an unnamed "family member" of Joe Biden.

Here are some news articles from Free Republic:

October 23, 2012: Biden's Brother Awarded $1.5B Contract To Build Homes In Iraq

According to Charlie Gasparino of Fox Business, a subsidiary of the construction company Hill International was handpicked to oversee the building of at least 100,000 affordable homes in decimated areas of Iraq.

When asked why his company was chosen over all the others, company president David Richter didn't beat around the bush. "It really helps to have the brother of the vice president as a partner," he said.

James Biden was hired on as the executive vice president despite little if any documented work history in residential construction -- or anything else for that matter.

The company was awarded the lucrative government contract only six months later. Already worth over $7 million, Biden stands to make millions off the deal with the Iraqi government.

January 31, 2020 - James Biden got a sweet land deal from a lobbyist connected to his brother, Joe Biden

Politico's Ben Schreckinger reported Tuesday that Joe's brother, James, received an extremely favorable land deal from a lobbyist who has close ties to Joe and who has benefitted from Joe Biden's advocacy for years.

James Biden bought an acre of land in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2005 for $150,000. He divided that acre of land into three parcels. A year later, a lobbyist named Scott Green purchased one of those parcels for $150,000. James Biden not only kept most of the land, but he got his initial investment back.

Tax bills from that time showed the parcel of land Green purchased had an assessed value of $38,000.

Then, in 2010, that same lobbyist and his wife gave James Biden a $133,300 mortgage on the other two parcels of land from the original acre. In 2013, they released that mortgage, saying they had received full payment.

Green worked as a Senate Judiciary Committee staffer under then-Sen. Joe Biden in the 1980s, before transitioning to the private sector and founding the lobbying firm the Lafayette Group in 1994. That group appeared to have a very favorable and profitable relationship with Biden.

May 21, 2020 - Lawsuit Documents Allege James Biden Committed Fraud, Racketeering

In January the FBI raided the offices of Americore Health, a health care company that manages rural hospitals, where James Biden, brother of former vice president candidate and current presidential candidate Joe Biden, was a major investor. Documents prepared as part of an ongoing lawsuit against Biden and his business partners, hedge fund managers Michael Lewitt and Amer Rustom, allege they are in violation of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and have committed fraud related to their investments in Americore and another company, Diverse Medical Management. The documents, prepared in March, were never submitted to the court and sources now say the lawsuit is headed for a settlement.

In the documents, Grant White, the former CEO of Americore, makes detailed allegations that Biden’s corrupt business practices helped drive his company into bankruptcy. White also alleges that Biden and Lewitt improperly took money meant for company operations and lined their own pockets. He further alleges that Biden failed to make good on promises that his political connections would deliver large investments from the Middle East.

A filing in federal bankruptcy court in February by the federal trustee, Paul A. Randolph, alleges White has “grossly mismanaged” his business; “has not operated the hospitals in a manner that is consistent with public safety”; and “improperly siphoned money from the Debtors for his personal benefit.” The court subsequently removed White as CEO of Americore by the court. In a lengthy missive to legal commentator Jonathan Turley’s blog in March, Michael Lewitt questioned White’s credibility at length.

However, White was prepared to submit a sworn declaration in the ongoing lawsuit against Biden and his business partners backing up his allegations. Further, he turned over a significant number of primary documents undergirding these claims that were reviewed for this article.

[Biden told me] there’s not a single door in the country that we can’t open. So if I wanted to meet, you know, the head of Google, it’s a phone call,” White says. “He always represented himself as the fundraiser for his brother’s campaigns… he was the guy raising the money and so he knew everybody.”
