WASHINGTON — Hunter Biden is stepping down from the board of directors of a Chinese-backed private equity firm.Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Ukraine have become an issue in the 2020 presidential race with President Donald Trump and his allies pressing unproven corruption allegations again Hunter Biden and his father, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
In a statement posted on Medium and first reported by Bloomberg News, Mesires says Hunter Biden intends to resign from the board of BHR Equity Investment Fund Management Co. by Oct. 31. The attorney says Hunter Biden pledges to avoid conflicts of interest should his father be elected president.
'Private equity' in a Communist society?
He's guilty as sin ....
Is he also stepping away from cocaine
_Politics If everything is on the up and up, why is stepping down? Could it be to much heat on daddy!
But these are just conspiracy theories I thought?
Lock his ass up
Yeah cause he was totally qualified to do that job. Start following the money. Hope they finally hold all the crooked Dems accountable for their multiple crimes.
It's a start. Now explain to your dad that he needs to step down too.
Quid pro Joe’s son Hunter got a severance package for more $ than he would of been paid, just shameful.
➡️🤔🤔➡️Biden🤬🤬
Guilty!!!!!
Aftr trapping his dad :)
Why? Doesn't he like hundreds of millions of dollars because of his father's position as former VP?
Clarknt67 Yikes
No no not now
Oh no where is he going to find a job now or is he going to have to live off the millions he made doing absolutely nothing
Maybe the Democrats allready sold us to China?
They found hunter.
Hunter and Joe Biden are guilty of corruption. Joe sold the VP office to the Ukrainians and Chinese.
_Politics Even step down he still need to be investigated.
_Politics These are crooked slimy people.
_Politics Caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Why. If it’s all proper why resign?
No one has produced his disqualifications, indictments or produced any evidence of wrong doing. Meanwhile, Trumps children are allowed to influence dignitaries from other countries to buy or invest in their product simply because they are the president’s children. Republicans.SMH
QUID PRO JOE BIDEN!
Is he still banging his dead brother’s wife?
Oh gee. Wonder why?
Hunter should write a book on how he became so successful! What an inspiration! 😂
Please tell us when the trump children uninvest from their international business interests - that tax payer dollars pay for them to conduct
Why is he stepping down, is there something to hide?
LMAO, a little late! Only because the Biden's got caught profiting off the VP title! Thank you NYT and The Hill for all the reporting on this! I wish I had caught those articles when they had first came out!
Gee, I wonder why? No more favors from Biden for China? 🇨🇳
God why is it always Democrats who get screwed for no reason
Is he going to return all the unearned money he got?
Noooo what would they ever do without him.
The trumpy kids and jared's vast experience in government ... LMAO!
Too little-too late
As the song says 'Its too late Baby.'
Hmmmmmmm?
Too little, too late. Sorry Hunter this won’t Fix a thing.
if
Only because light was shed on the criminality of his Daddy...
One crook caught red handed.
Hunter must be reading his dad’s plummeting poll numbers. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait, what? How did Hunter Biden - while fabulously unqualified for just about any job - get himself appointed a 'board director of a chinese-backed* equity firm'? Re. Conflict: why didn't he resign when father was VP? * chinese-backed = chinese government
Why? I thought all allegations against him, that he got money for political gain with Biden, have been 'debunked'
Why step down now
Sleepy joe Biden is finished
Honorable act.
Same reason Countries 'scaled back' on CFF donations.. Favor deficit.
LATE
no reason to...donnie and his minions never have
How magnanimous of him.
“Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.' Deuteronomy Of course, we have 'have to step down' in place of 'put to death' !
Too soon! Once Hilary jumps back in Biden is done for and he’ll regret leaving the cushy job his daddy got for him!! senatorsson
Why now?
Because it was illegal activity!!!!!
He’s still a crook and Democrats aKnowledge he only got the job because his father got them for him. Graft of the ruling class. I hate Trump but his kids worked for his own criminal enterprise
What other countries?
No 'Nose Candy' money for you son.
Man up Biden, you got caught.
'In a statement posted on Medium and first reported by Bloomberg News, Mesires [Hunter Biden's attorney] says Hunter Biden intends to resign from the board of BHR Equity Investment Fund Management Co. by Oct. 31.' WheresHunter FactsMatter
At least Hunter Biden is not involved in breaking the emoluments clause of the US Constitution, as the Trump family is. Nepotism is the other issue, enriching the family by selling the American people's country to foreign powers.
'President Donald Trump and his allies pressing unproven corruption allegations '. Isn't that what the left and the MSM have been doing towards Trump for the last three years?
Why any country pay a druggy $$$ for doing nothing.
I bet Hunter is Roman from Succession on HBO
Anticipating a win, maybe?
Step down? Who is he kidding? He was probably kicked out by the Chinese! Since they now know that their prop, Biden, has no chance of winning! InvestigateTheBidens
Hunter Biden, discharged from the Navy for cocaine, son of former VP Joe Biden, announces he is stepping down from the board of directors of a chinese-backed private equity firm, a position he got due to white privilege & being the former VP ‘s son.
With $1.5 billion squrilled away why hang on. Take that passport & cash become a citizen of the Cayman Islands. Fun,sun & good dining 365 a year.
Too late buddy!
LOL. So I guess there is nothing to see here?
LOL. Nothing to see here?
With his talents and experience, I’m sure he’ll find another gig soon.
Why? We have already established that families can make money off of the presidency. This is trying to fight a battle fairly against an opponent who knows no rules. Wake up Democrat’s and stop trying to fight a fair war. Take his damn knees out. Throw everything at the bastard.
Poor Joe
Why?
it's pretty clear these politicians don't care who is in power as long as they're making money
Awaiting trump’s demon spawn to end all foreign connections
Either step down or meet the ClintonCrimeFamily for 'lunch' I think he made the right choice.
Start counting the shady deals that Ivanka and the trump boys have gotten since 2016. China, Saudi Arabia, Israel...
Can the company survive the loss of Hunter Biden and his keen business instincts?
Clarknt67 lol he was still working there
What has he ever done to be qualified to be on the BOD for any company?
But it was ok while his Father was US VP? LiberalHypocrisy
👀
They look weak giving into Trumps lies . If he is doing nothing wrong he should have kept his job. Now it looks like something is not quite right.
He made his money so nothing to lose as the liberal media turns a blind eye.
Where is RepAdamSchiff now?
Lol criminal
Stepping down now is an absolutely terrible look. Who's making decisions in JoeBiden campaign.....
Anything to hide Why step down if you did nothing wrong
cryborg Now do the Trump kids.
I imagine this is being done in an attempt to avoid complying with grand jury subpoenas. That said, I also imagine he will rejoin those boards after his father loses the primary contest.
So when is Ivanka going to do the same?
This is all very entertaining.
He’s doing this as Ivanka and Jared are being paid to work in the White House and are making millions of dollars for their own business! Talk about double standard
What are the Trump kids doing?
This is scripted like a porno movie....
Makes sense. Without Daddy in office to do our enemies favors, what’s he have to offer?
What will the Chinese do with Hunter Biden’s insight and business acumen? How will they ever cope? 🤣
Lol
Geee I wonder why?
The Democrats are ALL in bed with the Communists. Beware!
It’s time for his daddy to step down too. NeverBiden
Here's Hunter, told you he was in china.
Good job Hunter, unlike the others who are all up in daddy’s corruptness.🤦♀️
Probably a good idea since he’s more than likely going to end up in prison
That's probably a good idea
Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump are making vast amounts of money robbing the United States blind.
Democrats:
Where is Hunter?
Hunter Biden was working for a Communist-Chinese backed private equity firm while his father was Vice President of the United States? HMM....🤔
😂😂😂😂😂feeling closed in are we?
You are amazingly kind to democrats.
