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.

i think it was kinda muffled- sounded like ‘fatso’ to me when i heard it- someone spoke or something right as he said it- I know i thought that’s what he said- I thought either ‘fatso’ or ‘fats’ it was hard ot tell, but i only just caught a quick hearign of it-
Spin said Biden was saying Facts not fatso...except no one buys that.
Well, my son Beau was on his deathbed with his loving wife by his side.
My other son, Hunter, was on his bed with his brothers wife on top.
No, wait...... Hey! You’re a damn liar fatso.
I challenge you to a push-up contest, or a IQ test, or a pregnancy test.
Wait, what was the question?
If the tragic death of you son was preventing you from doing your job adequately, you should have resigned and gone home to your family.
Frog marches incoming. :-)
IMO Trump is waiting until the conditions are right to get CONVICTIONS. Just ARRESTS are not enough.
Vehemently parsing his little heart out with that one. He didn't witness it. I can smell the attorney from here.
yeah that was ridiculous for them to spin it like that- sadly the msm didn’t call him out on it- they never do- that’s why the left get away with such blatant lies- unfortunately-
You’re very welcome.
I was happy to see that post got so many responses. Not because I need people to respond, but because it means a lot of people read the info at the link. (And for every post, there are probably even more lurkers who read it.)
I encourage conservatives to share this info with their conservative friends. Too many are demoralized because they think “nothing is happening”. I’m optimistic. More than I’ve every been in my life. :-) Justice is coming.....
Hope springs eternal.
Disgusting. If this had been one of Trump’s sons (God Bless them all and give them much health), the media and liberals would not give him a pass or a break. In fact, they would all be JOYOUS and LAUGHING at his loss. F.U.J.B.!!!
The narrative begins to change, until they can find something that gives them plausible deniability. Biden’s wife should talk to him, and his advisors, about his obvious senility/dementia, and withdraw. Just imagine, if the Dems impeach Trump on this nonsense, and Biden wins the presidency, he will be impeached, as it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Dems are going to lose control of the house.
Typical liberal, always someone else’s fault
Never let a crisis go to waste! If Joe didn’t know, or felt guilty after her learned (yeah, right!), why did he act like a punk getting the prosecutor fired?
He found out about it the same way you did, reading it in the paper.
It was the first half of fat ass, and he was calling the little black kids in his lap roaches.
Joe Biden is not a nice guy.
“Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest,” ... “I never, never heard that once at all.”
Bidens been in office plenty long enough to know perfectly well from the beginning there was a conflict of interest without anyone telling him.....and this long before his son was on his deathbed. He’s been so accustomed to gaming the system for personal gain, covering it up, and all that relates to a corrupt politician that like the crimminal he is he believed he was beyond finding out.””””
You re 10000% correct.
Biden has been a crook for so many years, he cannot ID any differences anymore. He raised his entire family to do the same. Same with Dirty Harry Reid.
If he was an Italian Mob Boss, there wouldn’t be any difference.
Pelosi’s father actually was one.
Such bs. Greg Schultz polled the problem, saw how badly it’s hurting Biden, and polled the solution.
“they should have told me,” Biden said.”
How about you should have been smart enough to figure it out for yourself? You want the highest office in the land, and yet you need people to tell you things that should just be common sense?
