M. Dibble, Biden Faces Criticism After Climate Plan Mirrors Language From Nonprofit, Draws Accusations of Plagiarism, IJR (Jun. 4, 2019).
Six days before he withdrew from the 1987-88 presidential race, then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), who was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, confessed that he had plagiarized a paper in law school, as the Washington Post reported at the time with the headline, "Biden Admits Plagiarizing in Law School."
At the time, Senator Biden was also facing numerous other allegations of plagiarism, including lifting passages from British Labor leader Neil Kinnock, Robert F. Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, and even John F. Kennedy. Biden also misrepresented his standing in law school, claiming that he had graduated in the "top half" of his class when he actually was ranked 76 out of 85.

Now:
Former Vice President Joe Biden found himself in hot water after portions of his new proposal on climate change were found to be near-copies of the language used by a nonprofit group.
As IJR reported earlier, Biden revealed his $5 trillion climate plan early Tuesday morning, announcing his goal to have the U.S. economy be fueled by 100 percent clean energy with net-zero carbon emissions.
It didn’t take long before examples of language that Biden used were drawn into question. Josh Nelson, the vice president of CREDO Mobile, was the first Twitter user to highlight the striking comparisons....
After Nelson highlighted the similarities, several other examples were uncovered. The Daily Caller News Foundation found three additional examples of suspiciously similar language in Biden’s plan from reports from Vox, American Rivers, and Climate.gov.
On Twitter, several people noted that this would not be the first time Biden has been caught plagiarizing. In fact, plagiarism was one of the key factors in sinking his first presidential bid....
In a statement to Business Insider, Biden’s team said the lack of citations was inadvertent.
