InsideBidensBasement: New Database Tracks Former Biden Appointees' Careers, Exposing Potential Lobbyists and Influence
Jan 17, 2025, 10:30 PM
A new database has been launched to monitor the post-government careers of former Biden appointees, aiming to expose individuals who may leverage their government experience for lobbying or other influential roles. The initiative is viewed by some as a response to previous actions taken against Trump administration staffers, who were reportedly blackballed from job opportunities after leaving office. The website, named InsideBidensBasement, intends to alert employers about potential risks associated with hiring these former officials, who may seek to undermine the Trump administration from within. Supporters of the database argue that it is a necessary measure to prevent those who previously worked to 'Trump-proof' the Biden administration from re-entering government roles.
