> According to an affidavit, which stems from a dispute between three legal firms and a US construction company, Joe Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, was selected to negotiate a secret deal with the Saudi government because of his relationship with the then-vice president. At the time, Joe Biden was leading delegations to the Middle Eastern nation, and the belief was that the Saudis “would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal.” > Further, per Thomas Sullivan, the former US Treasury official who provided the affidavit, Jim Biden’s wife said that the two brothers “told each other everything,” again discrediting the notion that Joe Biden was completely aloof about the business dealings of his family members.
