POLITICO EUROPE, 2019: The Biden family’s strange business history: Over his decades in office, ‘Middle-Class Joe’s’ family fortunes have closely tracked his political career. “Biden’s image as a straight-shooting man of the people, however, is clouded by the careers of his son and brother, who have lengthy track records of making, or seeking, deals that cash in on his name.
