Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden declined to answer questions on the campaign trail this week about his son's overseas business dealings in countries where the then-vice president was conducting diplomatic work, an issue his political opponents have already begun to wield against him as he wades into the 2020 presidential campaign.
More than once, after his father engaged in diplomacy on behalf of the United States in foreign countries, Hunter Biden conducted business in the same country. At two separate campaign stops on Monday, Biden avoided questions about his son while his staff blocked reporters from approaching the candidate.
Biden's campaign did provide ABC News with a statement saying the former vice president has always adhered to "well-established executive branch ethics standards," adding that if Biden wins the White House he will issue an executive order to "address conflicts of interest of any kind."

Within weeks of his visit, Ukraine's largest energy producer, Burisma Energy, appointed Hunter Biden to a paid directorship on the firm's board.
In December of 2013, there was a similar episode when the then-vice president led an Obama administration effort to tamp down tensions in the Far East. Hunter Biden disembarked from Air Force Two in Beijing alongside his father, ahead of a series of meetings between the vice president and several high-ranking members of China's ruling party.
Within weeks of that visit, Hunter Biden was doing business there, as a participant in a firm called Bohai Harvest RST. The corporation formed a novel Chinese-American investment partnership that involved such Chinese state-owned firms as the Bank of China. Reports at the time said they sought to raise $1.5 billion.
Maybe because his son is unemployable and Joe is the only reason he had the jobs?
I’m waiting for the Rats to say “What is he hiding,” as they do about Trump’s taxes.
As long as it wasn’t RUSSIA, I expect the MSM will drop any interest in this.
I think his campaign does more talking for Biden than Biden does for himself....perhaps they figured out they need to shut him up.
Now that you mention it, I haven’t heard a demand for his tax returns in a few weeks. I wonder what made them stop going down that road?
Buh-bye, Joe.
Bye, bye, Biden........
imagine Buttieagig going to Iran or Saudi Arabia on a trade mission : “right this way madame President, we want to show you the rooftop” off goes the president to splatter on the street as the secret service cracks up laughing.
Then we swear in Stacy Abrams as the 47th POTUS - LOL
The walls are closing in!!!!!
He was only a brand-name place-holder, anyoo one most highly suspects.
Biden can forget it. His time is over.
Shoulda told him he has 6 hours to answer the questions or he wont get paid for the interview!~
It is Joe’s OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE in the case of his son’s prosecution in his fraudulent Ukrainian business dealings that he should be worried about.
I do not believe that Sleepy Joe is as disiplined as Hillary. He will inadvertently go off the script and off the rails.
The rats soooooo dug into and went after Trump’s children.
So, Joe, how’s that “turnabout is fair play” thing feeling?
The GOP-e could have used this years ago...assuming they have figured out how to use “google” or FR yet.
We have known this for years.
The Obama Machine took him out.
They found more info on The Groper and they want him OUT.
Then why is he asking about Trump’s sons’ business dealings?
