White House blames 'error' after Biden campaign fundraising page linked on .gov website
Biden campaign page linked from .gov site solicits donations in a way generally considered improper to be connected to official gov't site
The White House said Thursday that a link to a page on the Biden campaign website in the WhiteHouse.gov fact sheet for the president's $2 trillion-plus spending plan was put there in error.
The link was included on the words "more likely" deep in the body of the 25-page document. The line where it was included said, "People of color and low-income people are more likely to live in areas most vulnerable to flooding and other climate change-related weather events." The link was eventually taken down.
Those who clicked on the link were taken to a page on "clean energy" and "environmental justice" on the "JoeBiden.com" website, which also said people of color are at higher risk due to weather events. The link was included in a way often done on web pages to bolster factual claims.

This would elicit calls for another shampeachment if ever happened during the Trump Presidency.
