Jeff Ricchetti lobbied the National Security Council on behalf of General Motors in the second quarter, a lobbying report says.
This is the latest example of Ricchetti getting access into the Biden White House since his brother officially became a senior advisor to the commander in chief. The report shows that Jeff Ricchetti, the brother of White House counselor Steve Ricchetti, engaged with the NSC for the car making giant on "issues related to China." The company paid Ricchetti $60,000 last quarter for his lobbying services., comes as he tries to publicly distance his work from his brother, who, among other items, helped secure an infrastructure deal between the White House and senior lawmakers.
Jeff Ricchetti said in an email to CNBC that he no longer lobbies the White House Office, which is currently led by Biden's chief of staff, Ron Klain. He did not answer several other questions, including whom he spoke with at the National Security Council on behalf of GM, and specifically what he was lobbying about with regard to China.
