The White House is alleging an arrangement it helped craft for purchases of artwork produced by President Joe Biden’s son is an example of the administration’s high ethical standards, though the arrangement has drawn criticism from some ethics experts.
The arrangement will see Georges Bergès, who owns a New York art gallery, vet buyers who want to buy Hunter Biden’s pieces. Bergès will be able to turn down any offer he thinks is suspicious, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed on Friday.
