Hunter Biden to Step Down from Chinese Company Board
----------------------------------------------------

Joe Biden's son Hunter says he'll step down from the board of Chinese
company BHR, after President Trump repeatedly attacked Hunter over his
overseas business practices and openly called for the leaders of Ukraine
and China to investigate his political rival Joe Biden and his son for
corruption. Trump's apparent effort to pressure Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Hunter is at the center of the House's
impeachment inquiry. On Sunday, Hunter Biden's lawyer said if Biden is
elected, his son would not "serve on boards of, or work on behalf of,
foreign-owned companies."
