Biden Took Contribution From Lobbyist For Russian Pipeline Before Lifting Sanctions

Washington Examiner

President Joe Biden received a sizable campaign contribution from a Russian lobbyist just months before declining to enforce sanctions on a Russian firm building the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, according to a report.

“He was not flagged during our vetting process,” a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee told the New York Post regarding McLarty Associates Managing Partner Richard Burt, confirming the donation.

Burt, a former Republican and U.S. ambassador to Germany in the 1980s, made a pair of donations to assist Biden’s presidential election: a $4,000 contribution to Biden’s Victory Fund just ahead of the 2020 presidential election and a $10,000 donation to Unite The Country, a liberal political action committee, in March 2020.
