Impeachment witness George Kent said Hunter Biden’s position on the board of a Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings created “perception of a conflict of interest.”

“The pervasive and longstanding problem of corruption in Ukraine included exposure to a situation involving the energy company Burisma,” said Kent. “The primary concern of the U.S. government since 2014 was Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, whose frozen assets abroad we had attempted to recover on Ukraine’s behalf.”
