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 Bidens 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.

The man has been in Congress his entire adult life, half of it in the Senate where he grilled Supreme Court nominees. He was Vice-President for eight years.
He needs a staff to tell him what a conflict of interest looks like?
-PJ
Everyone has a sob story.
Does he ever keep track of his own lies?
Now, thats funny!
.
I’d like to take this guy out behind the gym and beat the crap out of him
He has no shame. Truly, no shame.
He didnt learn anything about Conflict of interest in his 78 yrs, but he learned a lot about Roaches.
Warning: vulgar language

I recommend the thread above as an explanation of what was really going on in Ukraine
Using his sons death is lower then I thought he could go. But this is calicos beyond sleazeball. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
The Rats always stand upon the bodies of the dead.
Gropy Joe the gaff-o-matic. He was fun for a while but now it’s just sad.This guy wants to be POTUS? Really?
Perfect!
I call a big Bull Shit on this one. With all the lawyers around the VP to keep things straight he wants us to believe that no one told him it might look bad.
Biden, go and tell your lies someplace else I’m not buying this one for a second.
The guy would be a train wreck in a debate.
Note the careful wording of a liar. They didn’t warn him about a conflict.
That’s completely different than there was a conflict and he knew about it himself.
Also, he was so upset he couldn’t be told about a conflict, but he could have a good old time getting the prosecutor fired and telling the story after.
When are we going to see the memos where the Obama administration decided that prosecutor needed to be fired, and dispatched Biden with instructions to demand the firing?
Biden is full of Schiff!
Every time Biden opens his mouth he further promotes the fact that BO picking him was the cheapest insurance policy he could buy.
What did BO know and when did he know it?
No one would harm a hair on BOs head as long as Biden was the immediate successor.
Biden is so full of Schiff that Fauxahantas calls him ‘Walking Eagle’.
Bos job of making sure he was the smartest person in the room will be considered a snap when Biden tries to do the same.
Well that’s an interesting read. It suggest that Trump is holding more cards then he has let on. I have trouble believing that, but I would like it to be true.
Yeah,Joe...and a dog ate your homework. No dice.
