One of Trump's biggest problems was that he wasn't any good at concealing how corrupt he was; as I've noted in other threads, he just didn't get how to be a corrupt politician, he wrongly thought it was no different than being a corrupt businessman. Silly goose.
Here's how the game is played: www.cnbc.com/2021/01/27/biden-brother-touts-relationship-with-president-in-inauguration-day-ad-for-law-firm.html
Berman brought Frank Biden on a couple years back as they worked on their Big Sugar lawsuit, then filed the lawsuit the same day in 2019 that Joe Biden revealed his big climate plan. Total coincidence, of course:
And Frank Biden is an expert on sugar cane and the environment, in the same way Hunter Biden is an expert on Ukrainian energy. No wonder the Berman Group was hot to sign him up (even though he has no law degree)...

President Joe Biden’s brother Frank promoted his relationship to the commander-in-chief in an Inauguration Day advertisement for the law firm he advises.
Frank Biden is a non-attorney senior advisor for the Berman Law Group. The firm is based in Boca Raton, Florida. Its ad featuring Frank Biden was printed in the Jan. 20 edition of the Daily Business Review, which is also based in Florida.
The ad focuses on a lawsuit the firm is leading against a group of Florida sugar cane companies. It features a photo of Frank Biden, along with quotes regarding his relationship with the incoming president and the family name.
In an email to CNBC, Frank Biden said he has not used his brother’s name to gain clients.
“I have never used my brother to obtain clients for my firm. Our firm has long been involved [with] this lawsuit. Social justice is something I have been involved in for years,” Frank Biden said. “I will never be employed by any lobbyist or lobbying firm.”

After publication of this story, a Biden White House official told CNBC that the president’s name should not be used in any commercial activities in a way that suggests a form of endorsement or support.
“It is this White House’s policy that the President’s name should not be used in connection with any commercial activities to suggest, or in any way that could reasonably understood to imply, his endorsement or support,” the official told CNBC late Wednesday.

He was pressed on whether there was any coordination between the firm and his brother’s presidential campaign regarding the decision to announce the lawsuit Tuesday.
“There was absolutely no coordination. It was serendipitous that Joe’s environmental policy came out today,” Biden said.
“Our thoughts are the same but there was no coordination.”
