As Joe Biden contemplated his next move in 2017 after decades in government, he considered a familiar path -- creating a Washington-based think tank to focus on international affairs and diplomacy. It proved an easy sell and a lucrative one, too.
Soft landings in the capital are common for officials with a resume like Biden's, and the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement was born, with a grand view of the Capitol.
Affiliated with the Philadelphia school, the Penn Biden Center says it was founded on the principle that "a democratic, open, secure, tolerant, and interconnected world benefits all Americans." "It started as a parking space for Biden people until he ran for president, and never really outgrew that start," Abrams said.
Even Amy Gutmann, the university's president at the time who helped launch the centre, now works for him. She's the U.S. ambassador to Germany. Trump, too, faces a special counsel inquiry related to classified documents. In his case, FBI agents executed a warrant that showed they were investigating possible crimes including the willful retention of national defense information and efforts to obstruct the federal probe. Biden voluntarily allowed the FBI search of his home.
