A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.

The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife Jill Biden to help find “solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention” and help find a cure, but gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington DC aides it hired.

The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings. ...

Leave Jill alone.  She is a Doctor.

She's working on a cure for cancer.

Give Lunchbox Joe and Dr Jill a break, they’re so far behind the Clintons on the gravy train it’s tragic.

But both are operating according to the same template.

Gregory Simon is a real piece of work.  He has been deeply involved in Dem politics.  He was a bundler for Gore's Presidental campaign. He served as a lobbyist for Enron and Global Crossing, and was part of Obama's transition.  He's been a faithful Dem donor, and now is riding a tax-exempt cash cow charity that Biden set up.

Confirmed: Biden Cancer Initiative Spent on Salaries — and Little Else

The Post reported Saturday:

    A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.

    The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife Jill Biden to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington DC aides it hired.

    …

    Biden headed up the Cancer Moonshot Task Force when he was veep after his son Beau died of a brain tumor in 2015. After leaving office, the Biden Cancer Initiative sought to continue such efforts to provide “urgent” solutions to treating cancer, according to a 2017 press statement announcing its launch.
