Hunter Biden said he is stepping down from the board of BHR, a Chinese private equity firm, and will not work for foreign-owned companies if his father, one of the top Democratic 2020 candidates, is elected president.
Mr Biden’s lawyer, George Mesires, said in a statement on Sunday that his client, the son of former US vice-president Joe Biden, would “readily comply with any and all guidelines or standards a President Biden may issue to address purported conflicts of interest, or the appearance of such conflicts, including any restrictions related to overseas business interests”.
Mr Mesires added: “In any event, Hunter will agree not to serve on boards of, or work on behalf of, foreign owned companies.”
