Former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden announced that he will resign at the end of the month from his role in the management company of a private equity fund backed by Chinese state-owned entities, according to a statement released Sunday by his attorney.

Trump has pushed an unproven accusation that Joe Biden was improperly trying to help Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company, when the then-vice president pressured the Ukrainian government to fire the country's prosecutor general. The Obama administration, American allies, the International Monetary Fund and Ukrainian anti-corruption activists, among others,

that they were displeased with the performance of Viktor Shokin, who became prosecutor general in 2015.Hunter Biden also pledged to not work for any foreign-owned companies or serve on their boards should his father be elected President, according to the statement provided by attorney George Mesires."Hunter always understood that his father would be guided, entirely and unequivocally, by established U.S.

A Biden campaign spokesman told CNN the campaign has no additional comment on the statement from Hunter Biden's lawyer. Another Biden campaign adviser said they were alerted yesterday the announcement was coming, but didn't know prior to that. The adviser also didn't know why it had taken weeks for this to happen, referring questions on that to Hunter Biden's lawyer.

The campaign adviser noted that Joe Biden has a far stricter standard now than Trump does for his children., saying,"Where's Hunter? He has totally disappeared!" Trump did not mention reports of the statement from Biden's lawyer in his tweet.
