measures to ensure a trust fund for people suffering from asbestos exposure?
And what if that same politician recieved large donations of money from Asbestos litigants and his son was also an attorney for Asbestos litigation firm at the time?
Would that present a conflict of interest, change or business as usual in Washington, DC?
"The Delaware Democrat had ties to opponents of the asbestos measure at the time he worked against the bill, a USA TODAY review shows:
• His older son, Beau Biden, was a partner in a Wilmington law firm that was filing asbestos lawsuits and seeking to develop a specialty in that area, according to firm partner Connor Bifferato…
• His former Senate aide, John T. Dorsey, was a lobbyist representing three asbestos-related clients from 2003 to 2005 who opposed the bill. In May, Dorsey became treasurer of Biden's political action committee, records show…
• Employees at three law firms that specialize in asbestos litigation are among Biden's top 10 all-time contributors, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics. Employees at those law firms have given him $411,000 since 1989, according to the center"
