Hunter Biden defends his involvement in foreign businesses but admits that his last name was the likely reason he was offered to serve on a board of a Ukrainian natural gas company.

“In retrospect, look, I think that it was poor judgment on my part. Is that I think that it was poor judgment because I don't believe now, when I look back on it — I know that there was — did nothing wrong at all," Biden said in the interview.

When asked if he would have gotten the board position on Burisma, a Ukrainian oil company, if his last name was not Biden, he conceded that"probably not." The younger Biden served on the board of a Ukrainian oil company from 2014 to 2019. Trump has asserted without evidence that Joe Biden used the power of the vice presidency to advance his son’s business interests by pressuring the Ukrainian government to fire the country’s prosecutor who, Trump baselessly claims, was investigating the oil company.

aishahhasnie WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump He won’t work for the Russians when his dad is President, but will when he’s Vice President? I guess we know where Hunter is now!

Name recognition is not a hanis act . If someone give you a job because they admire your family. That is called trust of heredity. If your father is a good man it put you in a good light. Strong roots produce good fruit. Unlike Trump nepotism which is just wrong and immoral.

Crack Head Hunter

He’s trash.

Are you sure it was not his experience in the drug business?

Hunter Biden was call out by Donald Trump, at the same time Donald Trump's kids are hiding under the bed, and Donald Trump is hiding in plain site, has not investigated the Trump's, But on Trump's command harassing the Biden with Trump's fake news.

Awe.. He’s so innocent 😢

FakeNewsMedia ExposeCnn

And thus an Investigation is fully warranted!!

If you were Rex Tillerson, I could understand why the Ukraine’s would want and pay for your advise, but Joe Biden’s son. The Ukraine’s just want a path to Joe Biden and US support and money.

Duh!

Sounds like Hunter is not sure is it was his last name that made the difference? Seriously?

So the conspiracy theories are correct.

This differs from every Trump child in what way? Oh, that's right - Biden was NEVER WORKING IN THE WHITE HOUSE while making money on the side due to favoritism.

What about the Crack smoking?

Lot of pay for play gonna be shown in the near future. Democrats gonna say that's just how things get done.

Poor Hunter he was living a quiet life until daddy decided to run for President & now all his dirty deeds are out there for the world to see. Politics before family Hunter your daddy has exposed your life.

Too late to regret. Now your father suffers

The real question is not how he profited from his name, but whether the Ukrainians' investment in him paid off.

All the candidates should disclose what jobs their relatives have in foreign countries. Nancy Pelosi’s Son Was Exec At Gas Company That Did Business In Ukraine

🤣😂🤣Obama administration pay for play being exposed 🤣😂🤣 I love it!

Well NANCYS son must have poor judgment too when it comes to get rich from the Ukraine

Someone please explain how this is beneficial to the Biden campaign ? I'll wait

I’m sure not voting for Hunter now! I am voting for Joe though.

Business dealings? Sort of a Biden oxymoron 😅

Find Hunter Biden in this photo. Bet you can’t.

Sleazy guy. Now we know why HunterBiden was kept hidden so long. They had to clean him up and he still looks like he is jonesing for a line.

Said every single person who ever got a job rec from someone of influence in any company or position anywhere that resulted in getting hired...🤣😂

Trump is so envious of Biden

Like this doesn’t happen to other people... like the trump kids aren’t filling their pockets with his presidency. The hypocrisy is astonishing.

You mean anybody with the last name Biden would have gotten the job? Be real, it wasn't the last name, it was the implied access to your father.

He basically said when asked he didn’t think he would have gotten the job on the board of his last name wasn’t Biden. So even he knows that his name and who he was connected to got him the 50k a month job on the Burisma board. Nothing to see here folks keep moving along

Not just his last name but who how dad was and the position his dad was in at the time.

This is as important as her email server.

Oh no, not nepotism! Remove Biden from the White House immediately! 🙄

Womp womp.
