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.

I thought turkeys could fly
What took this sleaze so long to exploit his son’s death? I thought he would be leading with this in his campaign. The last words of my dying son to me was “Dad run for president and win in it for me, I love you dad”
Why would anyone need to tell him about the conflict of interest? He’d been in politics for 30 years by that point.
Wow. That’s a new low.......
The PTB tried to make Hunter into a victim but outside of Deep State, Hunter is seen as a widow-diddling opportunist
with an industrial strength penis on steroids. Hunter has made millions exploiting his father's political connections.
Even scarier....his father was grooming him for elective office (yikes).
It's impossible to believe, seeing Hunter constantly at his father's side --------speaking authoritatively from the VP's podium (above)------- that Joe Biden would not ask Hunter where he's getting tons of money to support his expensive cocaine habit, his lifestyle, his various girlfriends and children. Spending $thousands at gentlemen's clubs where he impregnated a stripper never got a even a smidgen of interest from his dad?
Thanks Hunter-- now I can buy that Martha's Vineyard mansion Michelle's bugging me about.
Some of those pricks should have buried themselves by now at the rate they keep digging the holes.
Unbelievable.
If anybody on the planet still thinks that Biden didn’t know about Hunter’s sweetheart deal then I’ve got a bridge for sale over the East River.
"My Catholic faith teaches me not to hate. I want just that SOB Trump out of the Oval Office. It's my turn."
Liberals are either just idiots or purposefully play stupid so they can’t be held accountable for their crimes.
Remember the hag who thought ‘C’ stood for cookies, not confidential material that could undermine our nation.
Biden denies any knowledge of Burisma or Ukrainian corruption. However IIRC, it was reported this past week that Rudy Giuliani has documentation that Joe himself received some $900,000. from Ukraine, above and beyond the $3 Million+ that Hunter was paid, in monthly increments of $83,000. while he sat on the Burisma Board. It is reported that Rudy has lots more stuff to bring out at the proper time.
He was mean to Fatso the Farmer. It's out there for all to see.
From compulsive fondling and hair sniffing, to outbursts of rage, he has major self-control issues.
The democrats want his finger on The Button.
What could possibly go wrong?
American politicians. So little integrity exists among so many. It’s our fault.
Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest, ... I never, never heard that once at all.
That Hunter was bonking his late brothers wife, Joe’s daughter-in-law, and divorcing his first wife, He had to find out reading the NYT.
I heard of lies, but I doubt my kids would try that on me or Mrs. Deplorable. Joe, do you think Americans will buy that? If you do, you are dumber than ever...
Joe? Go pedo crazy somewhere else, we're all full up here...

As a Catholic, why have you consistently voted pro-abortion, Do you hate babies?
These motherf**kers have been robbing the US blind for decades.
Nothing we cynics didn’t know already, yet not one frog march.
The next version will be that if they told him, he was too upset to remember it.
Sounds about right. He must have grief blocked any other bad news during that sad, terrible time of yet more tragedy in his tragedy filled life.
All he knew about Hunter was how Hunter was doing so very much to help Beaus wife through the terrible time.
...look at election results over the past ~90 years.
Since 17A and 19A.
