Hunter Biden Insists Burisma Saw His Name ‘As Gold’

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, insists his appointment to the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma had a lot to do with his name.

In an interview with the BBC, 👤Hunter Biden said he was qualified for the position but “missed… the perception that I would create.”

He added, “I know that it is hard to believe with 20/20 hindsight how I could possibly have missed that.”

The president’s son indicated the company saw his name “as gold” and it played a significant role in his appointment to the board.

👤Hunter Biden suggested his father’s name had “opened doors that wouldn’t be opened up to other people,” but, at the same time, this had been “both a privilege and a burden.”

He made it clear during the interview his life “is not a tabloid,” adding, “I don’t belong to an administration, I belong to a family.”

During the interview, he also acknowledged he could have created “a story… that anyone conscious would know would be a tabloid sensation.”
