Former Vice President Joe Biden said that he doesn’t know what his son Hunter Biden was doing in his five years of work for Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and that he doesn’t want to know, either.

“I don’t know what he was doing,” Biden, 77, told Axios about his 49-year-old son. “I know he was on the board. I found out he was on the board after he was on the board. And that was it.”
