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."
"This process will be set out in detail in the executive order," the statement reads, "that President Biden would issue on his first day in office."

ABC News should be impeached for even asking these questions.
LOL at Biden saying “Well Okie Dokie if I become President I promise not to be a lying cheating sleaze bag anymore”
Biden is essentially finished.
That leaves the communists with Lieawatha and MadBernie. Neither one of those azzclowns are viable.
They’ll have to bring in PIAPS or Big Mike.
Regardless who they bring in, they’re gonna lose bigly and they know it.
Yea.. but look at the DATE.. This is in the month before Trump’s phone call. Why are they doing this? Perhaps its to prompt Trump to respond so this “Whistleblower” can “toot.” It’s clear that the effort to craft this complaint went on months before it was actually made.. how to make this happen without driving the topic back into the news?
If Biden has nothing to hide, why doesn’t he simply answer the questions?
We all know the reason.
If it hasn’t been obvious before, it is now. That children’s song about the bus is certainly appropriate here.
The Biden under the bus goes
Thump,Thump,Thump
“My son has expertise of value to many around the world. He is skilled in depositing money and letting me and Barack know how much and where it is. This helps our friends around the world to engage in valuable commerce. Such as funding the Clinton Foundation which might toss them a bone later.”
Here is the full video and a transcription of that interview.
Biden's gloating description of how he threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees unless the prosecutor was fired runs from about 52:10 to 53:10.

When your staff has to block reporters from asking uncomfortable questions,
your campaign is over.
Not a bad report, considering it’s ABC, however, there was no mention of Joe Biden forcing the Ukrainian President to fire the prosecutor investing his son’s company.
Another dot was connected today on Martha McCallum’s show on Fox by one of her guest’s who has investigated the political corruption in the Ukraine for many years. What he revealed was that there was also a quid pro quo involved in getting Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma in the first place. The oligarch that owned Burisma had been sanctioned under the Magnitsky act and was blocked from travelling to the US which is a very significant advantage to foreign business people. After Hunter was put on the board the oligarch was magically removed from the sanction list and granted full travel privileges. This was approved at the highest levels of the US government and almost certainly involved Obama’s authorization.
ABC a well known conspiracy theory news site.
Let us all remember that, at 50,000 per month, Hunter Biden was making more than a presidential salary.
Because per Biden you have to ask the right questions!
Corrupt company hounded by prosecutor reaches out to Biden with bribe offer. Biden agrees to deal , gets money through son. America loses a billion dollars and Ukraine stays corrupt. Just another day in the swamp.
Interesting.
Thanks. This looks like a pretty serious crime to me.
Trading one billion American tax-dollars to a foreign entity for a bribe, demanding basically a personal favor in return.
