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.
