A British lawmaker petitioned U.S. President Joe Biden to suspend Bain & Co.’s operating license after a South African judicial commission implicated the global consultancy in misconduct related to work it did for the nation’s tax agency.
Peter Hain said he addressed his request to Biden via the U.S. ambassador in London. He made the same appeal to U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
