WASHINGTON, Broadcasting News Corporation : President Biden\u2019s senior adviser, Anita Dunn, has revealed a vast investment fortune worth up to $48 million \u2014 as well as a series of conflicts of interest. Mandatory ethics disclosure forms made public this week shed light on Dunn\u2019s finances after the longtime Democratic operative left the White House last year following a prior short stint \u2014 in what was widely seen as a way to avoid making the reports. Dunn and her husband, attorney Bob Bauer, hold between $16.8 million and $48.2 million in investments, according to papers released by the US Office of Government Ethics. The couple\u2019s sprawling portfolio includes a vast array of companies regulated by or working with the federal government \u2014 from banks, Big Tech and energy companies to drugmakers and arms contractors. Firms in which the couple hold a financial stake include Amazon, Apple, Bank of America, Boeing, Cisco, Comcast, ConocoPhillips, Exxon, Facebook, General Dynamics, General Motors, Google, Halliburton, Johnson & Johnson, Lockheed Martin, Oracle, Phillip Morris, Tesla and Wells Fargo. The Dunns also hold a stake worth between $1 million and $5 million in marketing firm Stagwell Inc, which in 2015 bought Democrat-affiliated campaign contractor SKDKnickerbocker, where Dunn worked as managing director. White House spokesman Chris Meagher told CNBC that Dunn \u201cwill need to divest her holdings and is recused from<\/p>\n

all matters involving SKDK and her past clients\u201d \u2014 meaning Dunn won\u2019t be able to partake in much of the decision-making involving either the private sector or Democratic politics, since SKDK\u2019s client list includes Biden himself and scores of governors, as well as House and Senate members.
\nThe outlet also reported, citing Meagher, that Dunn, who has helped steer West Wing public relations efforts, also \u201cwon\u2019t be able to attend any meetings involving [the companies and clients] for two years, pursuant to the Biden-Harris ethics pledge.\u201d SKDK paid Dunn about $740,000 in salary over the reporting period, which covered more than two years, the forms said. Bauer, Dunn\u2019s husband, previously worked as White House counsel to Barack Obama from 2009 to 2011 and served as co-chair of Obama\u2019s Presidential Commission on Election Administration. Last year, Bauer served as co-chair of Biden\u2019s Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court, which evaluated whether to expand the size of the nine-justice bench or impose term limits.
