James Biden, brother to current United States President, found himself in the midst of an FBI inquiry surrounding an eminent trial attorney based out of Mississippi, during the end of the 20th century. This attorney, named Richard Scruggs, reportedly paid a handsome $100,000 towards a consultation firm that was under the ownership of James and Sara Biden, as narrated by a Sunday publication.

The details emerge that Scruggs was in the process of garnering support for impending tobacco legislature that Congress was up to in 1998. For this task, he took to the expertise of the DC firm owned by the Biden duo, according to reports from the Washington Post.

However, it is noteworthy that during the unfolding events, none of the Biden brothers - James, aged 74, and now President Joe Biden, aged 81, faced any allegations of grievous criminal misconduct. Scruggs, on the other hand, later faced incarceration pertaining to another bribery controversy.

Scruggs was in the pursuit of a deal enabling him to compel tobacco firms to relinquish billions of dollars. This was part of a legal action accusing these companies of suppressing data about the addictive nature of their offerings. To put such a settlement into place, it was crucial for the Congress to suspend specific antitrust protocols.

Back in 1997, Joe Biden, who, at the time, held a prestigious position in the Senate Judiciary Committee as the ranking member, initially conveyed hesitation about the proposed settlement, dubbing it 'not yet a good deal'.
