Day 2, Scandal #2: Labor Pick Paid $90,000 to Biden-Linked Firm
Report: Labor Pick Paid $90,000 to Biden-Linked Firm Before Nomination

Quote:Months before President Joe Biden tapped Boston mayor Marty Walsh to head the Department of Labor, Walsh began using campaign funds to make large payments to the D.C. consulting firm founded by top Biden adviser Anita Dunn.

Walsh's campaign first paid Dunn's firm, Democratic communications giant SKDKnickerbocker, $18,000 in early September in "consulting" fees. Just one day after receiving Walsh's payment, Dunn—who led Biden's presidential campaign and serves as SKDK's managing director—joined the Biden transition team as one of four national co-chairs.

Walsh went on to send SKDK an additional $72,000 in consulting fees over a three-month span, with the most recent $18,000 payment coming in late December. Just two weeks later, Biden chose Walsh to lead the Department of Labor. Biden then selected Dunn to serve as a senior White House adviser one week after Walsh's nomination.

...

This is not the first time SKDK has taken lucrative payments from a state official looking to cozy up to national Democrats ahead of a career-advancing appointment. Former California secretary of state Alex Padilla awarded the firm a $35 million no-bid contract in August and fought to pay out the deal when the state's chief fiscal officer refused to approve it. California governor Gavin Newsom (D.) picked Padilla to fill Vice President Kamala Harris's Senate seat in December.

Amazing the Biden* administration declined to comment on this.

Like Obama, ole Plugs will tell us his admin had no scandals. Like Obama, he will also be lying thru his teeth. Difference is, Plugs won’t remember what he had for lunch the day before so there’s no way he’ll remember all of his scandals
