Joe Biden got some more bad news.
Biden’s former allies are turning on him and setting up a shocking twist in the 2024 election.
And this damning smoking gun is about to cause Joe Biden to resign.
A brand-new New York Times/Siena poll found Donald Trump leading Joe Biden 46 to 44 percent.
This represents a seven-point swing in Trump’s favor since the first Times/Siena poll taken back in July 2022.
Bloomberg and Morning Consult’s polls showed Trump leading Biden in all seven swing states.
And as the polls showed Biden at a low point, a curious thing happened in the media.
Suddenly the Biden family’s swampy business practices and Joe Biden’s corruption became fair game in the press.
The Washington Post published a 4,000-word piece on Joe Biden and his family’s connection to Richard Scruggs, a controversial lawyer convicted of trying to bribe a judge with a $40,000 payment.
In the story, the Post highlighted the coziness between the Biden family and Scruggs.
“The deal with Lion Hall also illuminates the Bidens’ decades-long relationship with Scruggs, once one of the country’s most powerful trial lawyers, who made his fortune taking on corporate interests and making friends in politics. Scruggs took James Biden on a boat trip while discussing a potential partnership on asbestos lawsuits; flew Joe Biden on his private plane to a fundraiser; and met with Biden family members at a University of Mississippi football game, Scruggs and his associates said in interviews,” the Washington Post exclusively reported.
And according to the Post the FBI is sitting on a wiretap recording it obtained during the course of the bribery investigation of Joe Biden’s brother James speaking with Scruggs about starting up a joint business venture.
“But James and Sara Biden’s ties to Scruggs also later brought them to the periphery of a sweeping federal investigation, one that eventually led to the trial lawyer’s epic downfall in 2008 over a bribery scheme,” the Post report continued.
“As FBI agents circled in on Scruggs and his associates over a plan to deliver $40,000 in bribes to a local judge, they also secretly recorded conversations with James Biden — who, at the same time, was trying to create a consulting firm with the Scruggs partners. Neither James Biden nor his brother was charged or accused of wrongdoing in the case, which led to prison for Scruggs and several of his associates, including James Biden’s would-be partners,” the Post added.
The Post story also includes the detail that in 1998, when Scruggs was the lead plaintiff attorney on a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit settlement over tobacco companies defrauding Medicare, Joe Biden initially opposed a bill authorizing the settlement.
Scruggs hired James Biden’s consulting shop, paying the firm $100,000.
Joe Biden then flipped and supported the tobacco lawsuit settlement legislation.
Scruggs explained he only hired James Biden because of his access to influence.
“I probably wouldn’t have hired him if he wasn’t the senator’s brother,” Scruggs told the Post.
This story renders Biden’s claims he didn’t know anything about his family’s influence peddling operation laughable.
And the timing doesn’t appear to be an accident as the window is rapidly closing for Democrats to push Biden out of the race.
