Biden received funds from Russian lobbyist before conceding on major pipeline.
President Joe Biden received a sizable campaign contribution from a Russian lobbyist just months before declining to enforce sanctions on a Russian firm building the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, according to a report.
"When Richard Burt donated to Biden Victory Fund, he failed to acknowledge that he was a registered foreign agent and was therefore ineligible to contribute," the spokesman said.
"Biden violated his own campaign’s pledge not to accept lobbyist cash when he took the payment, and Burt actively lobbies for five European energy companies (ENGIE, OMV, Shell, Uniper, and Wintershall Dea) that are partnering together to construct the Nord Stream 2 pipeline."
"Biden announced his decision to waive the sanctions on the Russian company, and its construction of the pipeline “is almost completely finished.”"
