President Joe Biden’s son Hunter said Tuesday a Ukrainian gas firm wanted to hire him while his father was vice president because of his family’s name.
“I think it played a large part, and I write about this in the book. As I said, I think that they saw my name as gold, and one of the reasons that they did is this: at that period of time, the Russians had invaded and taken Crimea and they were after the natural resources and the pipeline. And I know that Burisma wanted to do one thing, is that they wanted to create a bulwark against that Russian aggression, they knew that they had to expand internationally and into other sectors in order to be able to diversify and protect themselves,” Hunter Biden told the BBC during a virtual tour promoting his new book.
