Schmidt was indirectly paying people to shape policy that benefited . . . himself.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Schmidt and Google were also cozy with the Obama administration, with Googlers attending White House meetings constantly from 2009 to 2015. The tech exec also served on the\u00a0Defense Innovation Board, where (per a 2016 ethics complaint) he allegedly tried to drum up business for Google cloud-computing services.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/061817Google3HS.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Eric Schmidt, exec. chrm. of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announces Google.org\u2019s pledge of $1 million in support of the Stonewall National Monument Experience.  \" class=\"wp-image-21694669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/061817Google3HS.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/061817Google3HS.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/061817Google3HS.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/061817Google3HS.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Schmidt sits on the boards of or holds stakes in multiple companies that operate in artificial intelligence, 5G communications and other areas of core OSTP concern.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Helayne Seidman<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But the Team Biden links go deeper.
