• The Washington Post published a story Sunday that details the long history of Washington dealmaking by James Biden, the brother of President Biden, who served 36 years in the Senate, eight years as vice president and now three years as president.
• James Biden has never been charged or convicted of a crime in connection with his work at his Washington, D.C., consulting firm, but his work could gain fresh scrutiny as House Republicans advance their impeachment inquiry into the president.
• The Post story focuses in part on James Biden’s professional relationship with Richard “Dickie” Scruggs, a famed Mississippi trial attorney.
• As FBI agents closed in on Scruggs and his associates regarding a plan to deliver $40,000 in bribes to a local judge, they also secretly recorded conversations with James Biden – who at the time was trying to create a consulting firm with the Scruggs partners, according to the Post story.
