Hunter Biden says he hasn’t been hiding, as Donald Trump has suggested. But it’s true that we haven’t heard him talk about his dealings with Ukraine until now. Joe Biden’s son sat down for a lengthy interview with ABC’s Amy Robach. ABC writes that the 49-year-old “defended the ethical implications of his private ventures… but conceded taking a misstep in failing to foresee the political implications on his father’s career.” This is perhaps the line that will get the most scrutiny:
“In retrospect, look, I think that it was poor judgment on my part. Is that I think that it was poor judgment because I don’t believe now, when I look back on it — I know that there was — did nothing wrong at all,” said Biden. However, was it poor judgment to be in the middle of something that is…a swamp in—in—in many ways? Yeah.”

Biden went on to say that the Trumps “are probably the most unethical group people we’ve ever seen in this republic.” He added “that Barnum and Bailey, say anything, do anything you want… Donald Prince Humperdink Trump Jr. is not somebody that I really care about.”
