Obviously a lie, just like everything else coming from that corrupt and evil administration is!
About those much-touted Biden ethics rules...

Remember when Joe Biden, at the beginning of his term, vowed that his administration would be the most ethical in history?
Here's White House spokesweasel Jen Psaki, describing how it would go:
President Joe Biden is "committed to ensuring we have the most ethically vigorous administration in history, and that includes restrictions on how his image can be used. And that is something that he's conveyed publicly and privately as well," Ms Psaki said.
She was speaking in response to some naked influence-peddling by members of Biden's family.
There have been reports of top Biden aides' relatives all wetting their beaks at the Washington trough, somehow ending up with White House jobs (which on Biden's watch are the highest paid in history).
There's also suddenly self-taught "artist" Hunter Biden's and his "art" sales which are obvious fronts for money laundering.
But Axios has exposed another aspect of Biden's ethics failures -- in the fact that most of his Cabinet officials seem to have big-dollar side-hustles, something Biden said would never happen, except that they all got 'waivers.'
Top Biden officials have been excused from the ethics rules President Biden boasts about so they can do work involving large Wall Street banks, a leading defense contractor and prominent national media outlets, records show.
Driving the news: At least 16 Senate-confirmed officials have received waivers to ethics laws and regulations, according to an Axios review of their federal ethics paperwork.
Three were excused from portions of a widely publicized ethics pledge imposed by executive order on the day the president took office.
Thirteen got waivers to a federal regulation restricting work that could be perceived as a conflict of interest based on past professional relationships.
.These people make six-figure salaries for their much-touted selfless "public service." And most of them need other "jobs"?
