Biden via his son Hunter Biden. That corruption was discussed during the Trump/ Ukraine impeachment proceedings of the year before. But much more information came out just prior to the 2020 election.

For two centuries, the Framers' ideas about political corruption flourished in the courts, even in the absence of clear rules governing voters, civil officers, and elected officials.
