US President-elect Joe Biden has expressed full confidence in his son Hunter, who has been repeatedly attacked by Republicans, after it was revealed last week that he is undergoing a federal investigation into his tax status.
During his re-election campaign, President Donald Trump made repeated accusations against Hunter, saying that the Biden family was "corrupt" and a "criminal enterprise."
"We have great confidence in our son," Biden said, while sitting next to his wife, Jill, during an interview the day before yesterday on "CBS".
"I am not concerned about any charges brought against him," he said in his first statement, after the federal investigation into Hunter's tax situation became public.
It was bothering me.
I think there is an attempt at manipulation.
As long as he is fine, we are fine ».
Trump and his allies regularly attack Hunter over his business dealings in Ukraine and China.
Between 2014 and 2019, when his father was vice president, Hunter was a member of the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company, Purisma.
Trump accused the president-elect of seeking to sack Ukraine's highest attorney general to protect Burisma and his son from a corruption investigation.
Hunter, 50, admits that he has shown "lack of wisdom" in some of his business dealings, but has denied wrongdoing.
Trump sees the Biden family as a "corrupt" and "criminal enterprise."
