Following this event, Biden took questions from the press. One reporter questioned him on any potential links between his time as vice president (where he had duties of managing policy regarding Ukraine) and Hunter Biden’s rise to becoming a board of directors member for one of Ukraine’s gas companies.
When faced with this question, Biden immediately adopted a defensive disposition. The 2020 Democrat also responded to the question by dismissing the idea of any conflicts of interest.
In Biden’s own words:
“It’s not a conflict of interest! There’s been no indication of any conflict of interest, from Ukraine or anywhere else. Period. I’m not going to respond to that! Let’s focus on the problem. Focus on this man, what he’s doing, that no president has ever done. No president!”

"How was your role as Vice President in charge of policy in Ukraine and your son's job in Ukraine, how is that not a conflict of interest?"
Biden: "I'm not going to respond to that!"

More on Biden and the Ukraine Controversy
The reality is this: a considerable amount of Americans simply aren’t buying Biden’s story. To many people, it seems awfully convenient that Biden’s son just so happened to get a top job working for a Ukraine gas company when his father was also responsible for managing policy with Ukraine.
