CNN reports:
Former Vice President Joe Biden offered a forceful defense of his son during Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate, saying voters should focus on President Donald Trump’s “corruption” instead of Hunter Biden’s previous work in Ukraine.
“My son did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong,” Biden said during the debate hosted by CNN and The New York Times. “I carried out the policy of the United States government in rooting out corruption in — in Ukraine. And that’s what we should be focusing on.”
Biden’s comments came in response to a question from CNN’s Anderson Cooper about whether it was appropriate for his son to have served on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company, while he was in charge of Ukraine policy in the Obama administration.
Elizabeth Warren feels the heat, Joe Biden defends his son and Pete Buttigieg goes on the attack.
