On the 2020 campaign trail, Joe Biden insisted he had never talked to son Hunter about his overseas business dealings in places such as Ukraine and China.

All right, then: Why did 14 of Hunter Biden’s business associates meet with Joe Biden during the time when he was vice president in the Obama administration?

According to a report from Fox News on Thursday, over a dozen individuals doing business with the wayward son of the current president when he was veep had meetings with Joe between 2009 and 2017 — including individuals from the United States, China, Kazakhstan, Mexico and Ukraine.

Biden has consistently denied knowledge of any of Hunter’s business dealings abroad — especially controversial dealings with Chinese energy firm CEFC and Ukrainian energy giant Burisma.
