A top ethics lawyer during the Obama administration said this week that President Joe Biden’s administration should clarify ethics rules after it was revealed his brother’s law firm was using the sibling relationship in promotional material.

Frank Biden was hired by Berman Law Group as a senior adviser in 2018. Since then, the Florida-based company has touted his ties to Joe Biden. In one post in 2018, the firm wrote that “Joe Biden’s brother joins The Berman Law Group.” In an advertisement that ran on the day Joe Biden was inaugurated, the firm said Frank Biden shared his brother’s “commitment to environmental and social justice.”
