Nevada officials ‘actively investigating’ Biden stay at billionaire Democrat’s home

WASHINGTON — Nevada officials are “actively investigating” Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer for allegedly violating local law after the White House claimed that President Biden is paying for an eight-night stay at the environmentalist investor’s $18 million Lake Tahoe mansion.

Biden arrived at the waterfront property late Friday, with an administration official saying the first family, including scandal-plagued son Hunter, was “renting the home for fair market value” after bad press accompanied the president’s prior unpaid vacations at the homes of wealthy Democrats.

The local government in Douglas County, Nev., requires vacation homes to be permitted, and multiple residents of the heavily Republican county filed complaints.

In a statement first reported by the Nevada Globe, Douglas County head of code enforcement Ernie Strehlow said: “Several inquiries have been received on this address. We cannot comment further as we are actively investigating any Douglas County Nevada code violations on this rental.”

Stehlow, who is program manager of the county’s vacation home rentals division, affirmed to The Post his statement that the president’s alleged rental is under investigation.

The county government’s policies state: “The owners of any property being advertised and/or operated as an unpermitted vacation home rental located anywhere within Douglas County in violation Douglas County Code and the Nevada Revised Statutes may be subject to a civil penalty of up to $20,000.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment and Steyer could not immediately be reached by The Post.

It’s unclear what rental rate Biden intended to pay for the property or how the terms of the transaction could be independently verified without voluntary disclosure.
