BlackRock is the wealthiest and most influential investment management firm on Wall Street, with more than $10 trillion in assets under its stewardship.

Our most important finding reveals that one of BlackRock’s top executives not only has deep personal relationships with Biden administration staff, but has himself been a frequent visitor, meeting repeatedly with staff from the Office of Cabinet Affairs and the National Security Council.
