Biden hides free vacations from financial disclosure even after Justice Thomas pummelled for it
It's not an Air BnB: “The homeowner has to be a personal friend of the president or first lady and be present during the stay — otherwise that goes on the form."

Under growing pressure over alleged financial improprieties and a special counsel investigating the handling of classified material, President Joe Biden is receiving additional scrutiny for his failure to list free vacations at the homes of businesspeople on his annual financial disclosure form this week.
Travel magazine Travel Noire ran a recent headline declaring that "Biden Has Been on Vacation for 40% of His Presidency". Political analyst/editorialist Phillip Bump of The Washington Post tried to minimize the significance, mentioning that "Biden stayed at the homes of donors. His Virgin Islands trip was to a home owned by billionaire Democratic donors Bill and Connie Neville. Twice, he’s stayed at a Martha’s Vineyard compound owned by billionaire David Rubenstein."
"This is not an ideal situation, certainly, the president of the United States receiving favors from wealthy allies" Bump continued. "But these trips make up only 24 of the 250-plus days Biden has been away from the White House" Bump said.
