Chris Coons Weighs in on\u200b Ethics\u2063 Disclosure for Presidential Family Members<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Chris Coons \u200b(D-DE), the co-chair of President Joe Biden&#8217;s reelection campaign, has\u2064 expressed support for the\u200b idea of implementing an\u200c ethics disclosure clause for\u2064 members of \u2063a sitting president&#8217;s family. In an \u200cinterview with NBC&#8217;s Meet the\u2064 Press, Coons\u2063 discussed the need \u2064for additional scrutiny on the\u2063 actions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-coons-it-may-be-worth-looking-at-disclosures-for-members-of-a-sitting-presidents-family\/\" title=\"Sen.

Coons acknowledged the importance of holding\u200c presidential family members accountable for \u200ctheir actions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;That may be \u2062worth\u2063 looking at because frankly, as you referenced, Jared\u2063 Kushner wasn&#8217;t just a private \u200dcitizen,&#8221; Coons said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kushner, a former top adviser \u2063to President Donald Trump,\u200d has faced \u200dallegations of profiting from his position\u2064 in the White House. Similarly, Hunter Biden has been a subject of controversy due to alleged tax fraud crimes related to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-secret-service-intervened-in-hunter-biden-gun-incident-lied-on-background-check-form-report-says\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Secret Service Intervened In Hunter Biden Gun Incident; Lied On Background Check Form, Report Says\">overseas business dealings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>No Selective Scrutiny<\/h3>\n<p>Coons emphasized \u200dthe need\u2062 for\u2062 consistency in\u2063 scrutinizing the \u200bactions of presidential family \u2063members. He stated that it is\u2062 not appropriate to &#8220;pick and choose&#8221; who should be \u2063put under the microscope, referring to both Kushner and Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<h3>Broader Ethical \u200cConcerns<\/h3>\n<p>Todd also raised the\u2063 issue \u2062of ethical lapses among United \u200cStates\u2062 Supreme Court Justices, specifically mentioning Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor.
