Hunter Biden believes he could have exercised better judgment before accepting a plum post with a Ukrainian company that's become central to President Trump's impeachment inquiry.
“In retrospect, look, I think that it was poor judgment on my part," Biden, 49, said in an interview with ABC News on Tuesday. "I did nothing wrong at all. However, was it poor judgment to be in the middle of something that is a, it’s a swamp in many ways? Yeah. And so, I take full responsibility for that."
Biden, the second son of former Vice President Joe Biden, earned $50,000 a month to serve on the board of Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm, from 2014 to 2019. On Tuesday, while denying doing anything improper, he acknowledged it was "a mistake ... in the grand scheme of things."
"I joined a board, I served honorably. I focused on corporate governance. I did not have any discussions with my father before or after I joined the board as it relates to it other than that brief exchange we had," he said.
