Ethics experts are concerned that the children of top Biden aides are getting jobs in the White House, report says

[Insider] Several children and relatives of President Joe Biden's top aides have secured jobs in the White House, according to The Washington Post.

At least five children of Biden's senior staff are now working in the administration, the paper reported.

Experts on ethics and diversity have expressed concern that this is a continuation of the sort of nepotism seen in former President Donald Trump's White House, they told the Post.

"While it may not be as bad as appointing your son or daughter to a top government post as Trump did with Jared and Ivanka, it is still bad," said Walter Shaub, who served as director of the Office of Government Ethics from 2013-2017. "'Not as bad as Trump' cannot be the new standard."

On Monday, the son of a trusted Biden counselor was hired to a junior-level position. J.J Richetti, a 2020 college graduate and the son of Steve Ricchetti, was hired as a special assistant in the Office of Legislative Affairs, the Post reported.

Richhetti's two other children also have jobs in the administration.

Daniel Ricchetti, the eldest child of the veteran White House staffer, is a senior adviser in the office of the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security. Shannon Ricchetti, the eldest daughter, works as the deputy associate director of the office of the White House social secretary.
