He also denounced Biden\u2019s practice of hiring family members related to his top aides and Hunter\u2019s art sales.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is not the first time Shaub has raised concerns within the Biden administration. Shaub took to Twitter in June to react to an article that referenced family ties of Biden officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I know some folks don\u2019t like hearing criticism of him. But this royally sucks,\u201d wrote Shaub. \u201cI\u2019m disgusted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reports also found Biden\u2019s Climate Envoy John Kerry invested in a solar panel business in China, while the son-in-law of Attorney General Merrick Garland has been selling critical race theory materials and the Department of Justice has attempted to accuse concerned parents of domestic terror.<\/p>\n<p>Shaub said these occurrences are \u201cabsolutely appalling.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kerry has a $1 million stake in a private equity fund that&#8217;s a &#8220;major shareholder in a solar panel company linked to&#8221; abuses of the Uyghurs in China. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4jidnpN8qG\">https:\/\/t.co\/4jidnpN8qG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1458649842046095366?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/make-a-wish-recipient-chooses-to-feed-the-hungry\/\">\u2018Make-A-Wish\u2019 Recipient Chooses To Feed The Hungry<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 NOVEMBER 01: Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics, participates in a briefing on about President Trump\u2019s refusal to divest his businesses and the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1004135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/90"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1004135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1004135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1004135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1004135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1004135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
