.JoeBiden's 'phenomenally successful' partnership with foreign-funded Penn examined
The revelation has revived concerns about the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement’s affiliation with the University of Pennsylvania, which government records show received tens of millions of dollars in donations from foreign countries, including large sums from donors who have not been publicly disclosed. The think tank was created as a post-vice presidency perch for Biden and part of a paid but largely ceremonial faculty arrangement.
While the university had touted the arrangement, the appointment was “met with confusion,” according to the Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn’s student paper. Fueling the arrangement was Biden’s close relationship with Amy Gutmann, Penn’s president at the time and now Biden’s ambassador to Germany. The discovery of a “small number of documents with classified markings” inside a closet at the Penn Biden Center has reignited those concerns.
“They are classified documents sitting in there for six years, illegally. And this is a center set up by a university president who raised tens of millions [of dollars] from the Chinese and had deals with the Saudi defense forces,” Painter said.
