President Biden is confident that his son, Hunter Biden, didn’t break the law or cross any ethical lines as investigations into his overseas dealings continue, White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Sunday.
The longtime Biden adviser appeared on ABC’s “This Week” to address multiple crises the Biden administration is facing, from the Russian invasion of Ukraine to rising gas prices and the scandals swirling around Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden is under federal investigation for potential violations of tax, money laundering and foreign lobbying laws through his business relationships abroad.
“Of course, the president is confident that his son didn’t break the law,” Klain said, “but most importantly, as I said, that’s a matter that’s going to be decided by the Justice Department, by the legal process. It’s something that no one at the White House has involvement in.”
One of Hunter Biden’s business ties that has raised questions is with Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company whose board he joined when his father was vice president. That move sparked concerns about a potential conflict of interest given that Joe Biden was deeply involved in U.S. policy toward Ukraine during the Obama administration.
