>> Sandra: FIRST TIME HERE WE
APPRECIATE IT.
>> Bill: WE MENTIONED BE
CONTROVERSY AND BUSINESS
DEALINGS IN UKRAINE FOR THE
BIDENS.
>> JOE BIDEN'S 49-YEAR-OLD SON
HUNTER IS NO STRANGER TO THE
SPOTLIGHT.
HE HAS SPOKEN OUT BEFORE ABOUT
HIS PERSONAL STRUGGLES WITH
LOSS, GRIEF AND DRUG ADDICTION.
WHEN HIS FATHER'S 2020
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN HIGH
GEAR SOME CRITICS ARE FOCUSING
ON HIS BUSINESS BACKGROUND.
HE HAD SERVED ON THE BOARD OF
AMTRAK AND FOUNDING MEMBER OF A
LAW FIRM.
CRITICS ARE FOCUSED ON HUNTER'S
DECISION TO JOIN THE BOARD OF
BURISMA, THE UKRAINE NATURAL
GAS COMPANY IN 2014 WHILE HIS
DAD WAS ALSO SERVING AS VICE
PRESIDENT.
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR LINDSEY
GRAHAM HAS SAID HE WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW IF THE POSITION EVER
LED TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
>> THERE IS A CONFLICT IF IN
FACT YOUR SON IS ON A BOARD OF
A COMPANY BEING INVESTIGATED.
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
SOMEBODY SHOULD LOOK AT HERE.
>> REPORTERS HAVE ALSO ASKED
ABOUT THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST BEFORE INCLUDING WHEN
BIDEN WAS STILL IN OFFICE BACK
IN 2014.
>> MR. BIDEN AND OTHER MEMBERS
OF THE BIDEN FAMILY ARE PRIVATE
CITIZENS AND WHERE THEY WORK IS
NOT AN ENDORSEMENT BY THE
ADMINISTRATION OR BY THE VICE
PRESIDENT OR PRESIDENT BUT I
WOULD REFER YOU TO THE VICE
PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.
>> WE ASKED A FRIEND OF THE
FAMILY IF HE UNDERSTOOD WHY
SOME PEOPLE WOULD SEE THE
BURISMA JOB AS A RED FLAG.
>> I'M THE FIRST ONE TO SAY I
DON'T THINK HUNTER IF HIS LAST
NAME WERE SMITH WOULD BE ON
THIS BOARD MAINLY BECAUSE OF
THE BIDEN CONNECTION.
THE CHARACTER THAT HE HAS
BECOME IN TERMS OF GROWING UP
AS HIS FATHER'S HAND.
>> HUNTER BIDEN NO LONGER
SERVES ON BURISMA'S BOARD.
