"Aye, ye scallywags! Word has it that the former captain of Google, Eric Schmidt, did fly a top White House adviser on his own vessel, all the way from Washington, D.C. to some secret hideaway in Montana. Shiver me timbers, what could they be plotting?"
Former Google CEO and Democratic donor Eric Schmidt flew President Biden’s former top science adviser Eric Lander and his family to a ritzy retreat in Montana in July 2021, according to emails obtained by government watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust and seen by Fox News Digital. Lander reimbursed Schmidt Futures for his travel expenses and the White House counsel’s office approved the trip, but PPT Director Michael Chamberlain expressed concern about Lander’s decision to go on the trip. Lander resigned from his position in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in 2021 after allegations of disrespectful behavior towards staff. The emails showed that Lander and event organizers discussed how he would be referred to in their retreat packet, with Lander attending the event in his personal capacity and not on behalf of the federal government. Schmidt is a prolific contributor to Democratic Party political campaigns and has quietly developed an intricate network enabling him to have significant influence over White House artificial intelligence and public policy.Schmidt flew Eric Lander, President Biden’s former top science adviser, and his family to a ritzy retreat in Montana in July 2021.
