Hunter's vows to forgo any foreign work follow a slew of unsubstantiated attacks by President Donald Trump accusing him of corruption.

from his lawyer George Mesires, Biden vowed to step down by the end of the month from a management company of a private equity fund backed by Chinese state-owned entities, and said he hasn't discussed his own business activities with his father.

Trump in a July phone call encouraged the leader of Ukraine to investigate Hunter and his father, which led to the launch of an impeachment inquiry by Democrats last month. Shortly after the revelations of the Ukraine call,"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," the statement read.

"Under a Biden Administration, Hunter will readily comply with any and all guidelines or standards a President Biden may issue to address purported conflicts of interest, or the appearance of such conflicts, including any restrictions related to overseas business interests," the statement continues. "In any event, Hunter will agree not to serve on boards of, or work on behalf of, foreign owned companies.

'Private equity' in a Communist society?

Biden is out too. Sanders is out. Beto is out too. Things start to look clearer. Is H Clinton going to join in?

This Trump clown is good at deflection and flipping the script. Biden isn't being investigated for crimes. It's the orange one that's the criminal in charge

Ukraine, China, all the foreign nations want to employ this dude? He must be really talented and intelligent.

Money for nothing, checks for free? So wish I was born to a privileged political family.

Daddy Biden must of finally had that talk with his son Hunter! Doesn’t look good son that I’m running for President and ur clueless knowledge about Ukraine and China doesn’t look good! Ya think Biden! If ur not guilty Biden why step down! Hmm! Cmon fake media get on this story !

attacks factsarestubbornthings

Hiding is exposing

My understanding is that he is a principal in the firm. He can resign, but he still gets his share. What a joke ?

But, why, Santy Claus, why? The Grinch was flummoxed, but the Grinch was slick He had to come up with an out, & come up with it quick Why my little Suzy, dear, we've done nothing wrong It's just that we've been in China too long So I quit my job there to work for my Dad...

Headline is completely misleading. Hunter will resign only after his father is elected. He continues to advocate for foreign adversaries in the mean time. tedcruz marcorubio

The pressure continues!

Awww. He was just warming up.🙄

Does mean Bidon is guilty of treason. Humm I wander.

Thats why, Democrates did not want a trade war with China.

Oh? I thought they keep saying it’s nothing but a normal position?

Why did he do that? Has trumps daughter moved manufacturing from china? Idiot.

So he was on the board of a Chinese company?...

Nothing to see here! Let me just escape through this back door...

What does he do for living? For Chinese ?

no resigned from the board not the firm

Where’s hunter?!

“If joe biden wins election”.... translation. Hunter has stepped down, and will never step down because joe is never going to be president. Just more spin. I’m disappointed that cnbc reports this garbage. is usually neutral and led by facts and analytics.

We need to take the profit away from career politicians. Make them return to the Gov any money earned other than salary that is related to or due to their Gov position. This would also apply to family members. End the Corruption.

But chucktodd said there was nothing improper w Hunter. Debunked. So what are we to believe? 🤔

Well that was a dumb political move🤦🏻‍♂️

LOL, what about his stake in the company?

It took a lot of pressure from Trump

Roflol. But the media wont dig. Great little sheep.

Corrupt like Indian congresses

We need to get to the bottom of this pay to play corruption

I thought NBC was always against Trump why are they posting this?

I’m sure he was told to resign. His value as a political insider has faded. What will they do with out the benefit of his experience and insight? 🙄

Don’t worry Joe! Your son couldn’t save your chances of winning if he gave all the money back. You guys are lying, conniving thieves that have no place in political life any longer.

Bet he kept the money.

CarolYMorrisse1 We always capitulate. Can you see the Trump spawn resigning from anything? Having said that, Hunter NEVER should have joined these boards.

Shocked

Crook

So sweet of him!

All the more reason to investigate what him and his father were up to! biden may as way pack in his campaign before too many more of those non-crisis and non-scandals of his VPOTUS surface.

Trump attacks? Or exposure of corruption? Fake news fake news fake news

Why if it's all legit?

Haha but here I thought these dumbfuck liberals and the media said there were no conflicts of interest

esse pobre homem tá muito acabado p ser presidente ds EUA,quem é seu VICE?

Wow can’t believe CNBC is actually reporting about Hunter Biden stepping down from China firm! What does that tell u ppl! All of a sudden he’s stepping down something goin on there don’t u think ppl! Looks Guilty to me Just saying his greedy pockets filled up enough from Ukraine

Hunter 'the man in the green hat' Biden...

That makes him look guilty?

considering the idiots on the left gave their money to make kylie jenner a 'self made' billionaire, im sure they will be crying over hunter not being able to be on the board of the Chinese company next

DONALD TRUMP KIDS SHOULD DO THE SAME......RESIGN..

Feeling guilty Hunter?

nice

Hunter Biden may be innocent of any crimes, but he is certainly taking advantage of his father´s position to get work. Trump has succeeded in ruining his reputation.

Find Hunter Biden in this photo.

PR disaster for the Bidens - this is an admission that it IS wrong for children of serving gov't officials to hoover up the influence money. Jesus please us what a mess that whole family is.

So from now on payments to the Biden family will be handled by Chinese nuns with envelopes?

Why was Hunter on any Chinese or Ukrainian boards?

Nice twist of a headline to fit the typical NBCNews agenda. Making Biden the victim. What frauds. Poor things.

Find Hunter Biden in this photo.

Why did he not do it sooner?

Find Hunter Biden in this photo.

Lies

How is stepping down equated to “fight?” Wouldn’t “fund & board steps up to defend Biden’s seat & qualifications” be more aggressive?

In a strange twist of fate, the Hunter is now on the run from the prey

Video of Tom Brokaw calling out Joe and Hunter Biden's 'corruption' resurfaces amid Trump's Ukraine scandal'Wasn't it inappropriate for someone like you in the middle of all this to have your son collecting money?' Brokaw asked Joe Biden in 2008. I cannot wait until Joe wins the nomination and Trump gets to give him ALL of the barrels. It's gonna be epic. Ummm...that was just Trump's outdoor speech. No Browkaw. Get them all. Tax payers give money to government to work for us. Politicians always need more, up to 70%. Politicians get rich working for the poor bums they represent.
