Was Clooney's support for Biden a quid pro quo?

I found one line very interesting in the NYmag story

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/george-clooney-joe-biden.html

"With the prospect of his wife facing sanctions by the U.S. government, the Washington Post reported that Clooney texted Biden fundraiser and adviser Steve Ricchetti to express his concerns — and hinted that his support of the president was not unconditional. "

So, you don't scratch my back, I don't scratch yours?

She wrote the charges for Netanyahu and Hamas for the ICC.

ER catapulted his career. He's good looking and ER was a popular show.
