Diplomat tells investigators he raised alarms in 2015 about Hunter Biden’s Ukraine work but was rebuffed
washingtonpost.com/politics/diplo…
A career State Department official overseeing Ukraine policy told congressional investigators this week that he had raised concerns in early 2015 about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company but was turned away by a Biden staffer.
"George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, testified Tuesday that he worried that Hunter Biden’s position at the firm Burisma Holdings would complicate efforts by U.S. diplomats to convey to Ukrainian officials the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest."
"Kent said he had concerns that Ukrainian officials would view Hunter Biden as a conduit for currying influence with his father."
Kinda interesting that Hunter's only real qualification for board membership was the simple fact that he was the vice-president's son..

Also interesting is how he got boardship just four days (4-18-14) before Biden Sr. visited Ukraine (4-22-14) to show support for new government
