Watchdogs Demand Transparency as Corporations Pour Millions into Biden-Harris Inauguration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Government watchdogs are demanding transparency over donations to Joe
Biden and Kamala Harris's inaugural committee, after it accepted gifts
of up to $1 million from corporations and wealthy individuals. Major
donors to the inaugural include Amazon, Boeing, Capital Group, Comcast,
Fidelity Financial, Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm, UPS, United Airlines
and Verizon. In 2019, House Democrats proposed an ethics bill that would
cap inaugural donations at $50,000, while requiring the online
disclosure of major donors.
