Biden’s private tours for major donors unsettle White House lawyers
The White House Counsel Advises President Biden to Cease Oval Office Tours for Donors
The White House Counsel office has advised President Joe Biden to discontinue giving tours of the Oval Office to donors. This comes after Biden held several meetings with big donors at the White House to discuss his 2024 reelection campaign. The meetings, organized by Jeffrey Katzenberg, co-chairman of the campaign, aimed to reassure supporters about Biden’s plans.
While it is common for presidents to host supporters at the White House, the Counsel office raised concerns about the legality of taking supporters through the Oval Office. In response to this advice, Biden has decided to halt the tours.
“President Biden and his team take all rules concerning the White House and reelections seriously, and we’re proud of that,” said White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates. “Hosting supporters at the White House complex is a typical practice for any president, regardless of party affiliation.”
The meetings with donors included both formal dinners and lunches, with some discussions taking place outside of meal times. Topics covered during these meetings ranged from strategies to counter former President Donald Trump to discussions on the economy and the Israel-Hamas war.
