The art is overpriced. The buyers are secret. Red flags raised.
According to the Washington Post, “[Hunter] Biden’s art sale, expected to take place this fall, comes with potential challenges. Not only has Biden previously been accused of trading in on his father’s name, but his latest vocation is in a field where works do not have a tangible fixed value and where concerns have arisen about secretive buyers and undisclosed sums.”
You know it’s bad if The Washington Post is asking the right questions.
Former director of Obama’s Office of Government Ethics weighed in on Twitter:
“We needed the names so we could monitor whether the buyers get enhanced access to govt. Rather than asking for them and pledging to release logs of all meetings between the buyers and admin officials, the White House negotiated to keep them secret."
“So instead of disclosing who is paying outrageous sums for Hunter Biden’s artwork so that we could monitor whether the purchasers are gaining access to government, the WH tried to make sure we will never know who they are,” Shaub added.
