Hunter Biden is stepping down from the board of a company in China, his lawyer said Sunday.
Attorney George Mesires made the announcement in a statement that described Biden’s dealings with Burisma, a business in Ukraine, and BHR Equity Investment Fund Management Company, a business in China.“Hunter intends to resign from the BHR board of directors on or by October 31, 2019,” Mesires said. He noted that Biden had already left the board of Burisma.The son of former Vice President Joe Biden has been the focus of accusations of corruption by President Donald Trump and many of his allies.
“Hunter always understood that his father would be guided, entirely and unequivocally, by established U.S. policy, irrespective of its effects on Hunter’s professional interests. This was the standard observed throughout Hunter’s professional career. When Hunter engaged in his business pursuits, he believed that he was acting appropriately and in good faith. He never anticipated the barrage of false charges against both him and his father by the president of the United States.
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg used Hunter Biden’s decision to highlight what he said indicated differences between the Bidens and the Trumps. “Here you have Hunter Biden stepping down from a position in order to make sure, even though there's been no accusation of wrongdoing, doing something just to make sure there's not even the appearance of a conflict of interests, while, in the White House, the president of the United States is a walking conflict of interests,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Buttigieg added: “The president's sons go around the world pretending like the fact that their father is the president of the United States has no impact on the international business dealings that they do.“
