Hunter Biden Leaves China Board as Trump Attacks Hit Home
Breitbart ^ | 13 Oct 2019 | Simon Kent

Posted on 10/13/2019 10:10:48 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Hunter Biden is walking away from the board of a Chinese-backed private equity company as part of a public pledge to disavow all foreign work if his father, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, gains the presidency in 2020. Joe Biden’s second son made his move after a month of pushing by U.S. President Donald Trump who has publicly highlighted the perceived – and real – conflicts of interest represented by Biden’s work in Asia.

A statement released on his behalf by his legal counsel George Mesires said his relationship with the management company of a private equity fund that’s backed by Chinese state-owned entities will end within weeks.

The 49-year-old doesn’t state whether he will be divesting from BHR (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company. The company was set up in 2013 to invest Chinese capital outside of China.

Instead the young Biden pledged he wouldn’t work for any foreign-owned companies or serve on their boards during a potential Biden administration.

“Hunter always understood that his father would be guided, entirely and unequivocally, by established U.S. policy, regardless of its effects on Hunter’s professional interests,” the statement said. “He never anticipated the barrage of false charges against both him and his father by the President of the United States.”

Just two days ago Trump again highlighted the problem of Hunter Biden seeking work overseas during a political rally in Louisiana, as Breitbart News reported.

He might be publicly stepping down, but will the cash flow to him stop?

The politicians having been selling America to the Chinese piecemeal, and raking millions, if not billions, in graft and kickbacks.

Trump has been standing up against this practice, and a lot of oxen are getting gored.

He had plenty of time to leave on his own. I believe the Chinese are writing his daddy off.

Maybe I missed it, but I have yet to see anyone in the media interview Hunter Biden. If this were Donald Trump Jr., there would be an army of reporters camped outside of his front door, as well as following him and shouting questions at him anywhere in the world he goes.

One thing I don’t understand about Hunter Biden: The douchebag supposedly got bounced from the Marines because of his drug habit.

I want to know .. how the Hell he got into the Marines at such a late age anyhow? I think Daddy Biden was greasing the skids so Hunter could build up his credentials to run for office.

Too bad for Daddy Biden, Hunter is a bigger moron than he is.

Ah, here we go. So Daddy Joe Biden got his screwed-up son a direct commission into the Marine Corps at the age of 43!!! Obviously done because his dad was the Vice President. Nobody else could ever hope to join the Marines at that age with no prior experience. Just Try DOING THAT IF YOU ARE A COMMONER!!

Hunter Biden couldn’t even handle that gift from his daddy and got bounced a year later for doing coke.

BOTH BIDENS ARE LOSERS AND WHY ISN’T THIS BEING REPORTED??

If President Trump even THOUGHT about doing any of this for his children the media would be after his blood. But because of the OBiden name - nothing. Obama and Biden are on a pedestal.

Where is he and his new bride? Somebody must know. Some paparazzi must have him in sight. Maybe we should propose a bounty.

Hunter was commissioned into the Navy as an Ensign as an expert in Pubic Relations. His Dad got him an age exemption. 40’to 43.
He got kicked out after less than a year for flunking a drug test.

People tend to misunderstand this statement. It means YOU have enough money. He in no way is talking about himself.
