Number of Indictments and Convictions of Biden White House Appointees: Zero [View all]

How clean is the Biden administration? No political appointee of Biden’s was indicted or convicted of a crime. And no cabinet officials resigned following accusations of impropriety.

That’s a remarkable ethical achievement for a presidential administration.

The same cannot be said for most of the last several administrations.

Donald Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn pled guilty in 2017 for making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, though Flynn later tried to withdraw his plea, and in 2020 Trump pardoned him. Several Trump campaign officials in the 2016 and 2020 campaigns were indicted or convicted, with Roger Stone, Stephen Bannon, Paul Manafort, and George Papadopoulos receiving pardons.
