Biden inaugural returns cash from ex-senator-turned-foreign agent

Completely unnecessary giving in to right-wingers "ethics" pressure



President-elect Joe Biden's inaugural committee will refund a donation from former Sen. Barbara Boxer after the California Democrat registered as a foreign agent for a Chinese surveillance firm accused of abetting the country's mass internment of Uighur Muslims.

Boxer's contribution was just $500, but the Biden team's decision to return the money shows how the incoming administration will try to balance its sweeping ethics commitments with K Street efforts to enlist high-profile Democrats with an eye toward advancing clients' interests in Biden's Washington.
