Joe Biden asserted that he never heard worries that his son Hunter Biden's role on a Ukrainian gas company could create a conflict of interest.
"Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest," Biden said Friday in an interview with NPR. "I never, never heard that once at all."
Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, while his father was vice president and working on Ukrainian policy. President Trump asked the Ukrainian president this year to investigate the Bidens, prompting Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings against Trump.
George Kent, a top State Department official, testified during impeachment hearings in November that he raised conflict of interest concerns after he learned Hunter Biden was on Burisma's board.
“In February 2015, I raised my concern that Hunter Biden’s status as a board member could create the perception of a conflict of interest,” Kent said. “Let me be clear, I did not witness any effort by any U.S. official to shield Burisma from scrutiny."
Joe Biden told NPR that if Kent raised the issue with his staff, they did not tell him about it likely because his late son Beau Biden was battling cancer.
"Well, my son was dying so I guess that's why he said it, because my son was on his deathbed. But that that's not the reason why — they should have told me," Biden said.

New tagline...
Hey, the Bursima bribe was a bird in he hand, and a shot a the Oval Office was so far in the future no one would even remember Bursima anymore.
“I call a big Bull Shit on this one.”
Me, too. Especially since so many insiders have said that they HAD expressed their concerns about Hunter to Biteme many times. So they’re all lying, and he’s not? I don’t think so.
This is just, “The dog ate my homework.”
Too true.
So, he’s admitting he was too stupid to figure it out for himself?
Agreed. Apparently it is the “Mountain of Mularkey” tour.
Mo’ Malarkey
——something is coming out soon....
Soon. What is soon?
I have come to believe that Republicans and Democrats have different time lines for taking Biden out.
Bad as it may seem, democrats must take him out before he wins the primaries. Republicans on the other hand must allow him to win and then to achieve maximum damage, in July or August, take him out .
Yeah, Dirty Joe never got a whiff of it. From 2014:

Damn. Before I zoomed the picture in I thought he was holding a dildo.
Yeah ....but was the dildo Joe’s...or Hunters?........cackle.
Biden is a liar extraordinaire! The man has no morality and his principles are lower than whale crap.
Yeah.....but dont forget Hunter, Joe and Obama's timeline. They still have deals out there.
Joe stays.....but only until the checks have cleared.
What a sniveling shit.
