Google billionaire Eric Schmidt has PAID the salaries of staff inside Biden's science office and has been quietly lobbying on policy since the Obama administration
|
- The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OTSP) helps formulate AI policy and steer funding toward the technology
- Eric Schmidt, who stepped down in his role at Google's parent company Alphabet in 2020, now serves on the board of numerous tech companies
- Schmidt even indirectly paid the salaries of OTSP employees, the report states
- Former OTSP general counsel Rachel Wallace repeatedly raised concerns over Schmidt's influence, Politico reported
- She believes her concerns were the source of the wrath she faced from OTSP's former head Eric Lander, who stepped down recently for bullying
- Lander and Schmidt are close associates
- More than a dozen in the 140-person White House office are current or former employees of Schmidt
- In a statement, Schmidt Futures said he had no authority to make any policy decisions and did not do so through OSTP
- They also said the government and OSTP has used pooled philanthropic funding to ensure proper staffing across agencies for over 25 years
