A State Department official who specializes in Ukraine policy told a Congressional panel this week that he raised concerns about Hunter Biden’s Ukraine work in 2015 but was ignored.

George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, told congressional investigators on Oct. 15 that he was worried Biden’s position on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company under investigation by prosecutors there, would make it hard for diplomats attempting to instruct Ukrainian officials on how to avoid conflicts of interest, three people familiar with the testimony told the Washington Post.
