Attorney George Mesires made the announcement in a statement that described Biden’s dealings with Burisma, a business in Ukraine, and BHR Equity Investment Fund Management Company, a business in China.“Hunter intends to resign from the BHR board of directors on or by October 31, 2019,” Mesires said. He noted that Biden had already left the board of Burisma.The son of former Vice President Joe Biden has been the focus of accusations of corruption by President Donald Trump and many of his allies.
“Hunter always understood that his father would be guided, entirely and unequivocally, by established U.S. policy, irrespective of its effects on Hunter’s professional interests. This was the standard observed throughout Hunter’s professional career. When Hunter engaged in his business pursuits, he believed that he was acting appropriately and in good faith. He never anticipated the barrage of false charges against both him and his father by the president of the United States.
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg used Hunter Biden’s decision to highlight what he said indicated differences between the Bidens and the Trumps. “Here you have Hunter Biden stepping down from a position in order to make sure, even though there's been no accusation of wrongdoing, doing something just to make sure there's not even the appearance of a conflict of interests, while, in the White House, the president of the United States is a walking conflict of interests,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Buttigieg added: “The president's sons go around the world pretending like the fact that their father is the president of the United States has no impact on the international business dealings that they do.“
Trump, if he’s still in office, should get ready to debate Biden in the general election because Biden will beat him like a frickin drum 🥁 Biden2020
The Biden’s make Trump look a transparent innocuous fea where as the Bidens are seasoned sneaky swamp corrupt menaces. For sure hiring Elizabeth Warren over them both
Why was he there in the first place? No one cares to ask questions? You claim to be journalists, ?
Maybe not illegal, but not a good look for Biden. I’ll vote for ANYONE over trump, but I hope it’s not Biden.
There are huge differences that get overlooked between Trump's & Biden's. Trump's kids are using our tax money to travel the world to enrich themselves. Jared & Ivanka are using their government positions to travel the world & enrich themselves.
How and Why did Hunter get these lucrative jobs? Seriously!
Biden plays by the rules! Trump's family doesn't! They're just getting richer and richer. And, by the way, fuck Turkey! Should no longer be a NATO member! What a fuckin mess! Trump just unlocked ISIS prison! He's easily manipulated? No, he's in on it!
Hunter is doing the honorable thing. The Trump family is in no position to take any ethical or moral high ground on this issue.
Same old GOP double standards at work as Trump Crime Family revels in their emoluments.
doing something just to make sure there's not even the appearance of a conflict of interests, while, in the White House, the president of the United States is a walking conflict of interests,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“Just like President Trump, I am greatly concerned by that arrangement. It is either illegal or it should be illegal, what they did,” said Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), speaking Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” RepLeeZeldin We WANT to find out the truth about what EVERYBODY did.
So I guess the Trump kids will now step away from all their international businesses to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest...
Will the Trump children do the same thing ? Congress needs to fully investigate Trump Enterprises to determine how much it has gained from federal funding and contracting.
When do the Unqualified Trump kids get out of my government?
JFC, He was still getting paid off by the Chinese until today?
And into a trap house with the woman he married almost immediately after leaving the widow of his dead brother
Hunter should write a book on how he became so successful! What an inspiration! 😂
Crook!
Look behind the curtain....
