WASHINGTON. DC. (THECOUNT) — According to a new report from TheConservativeOpinion, Hunter Biden once enjoyed an $83k a month salary compliments of Ukranian oil and gas giant Burisma.
The report says the sizeable salary that Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden’s youngest son, drew while serving on the board of directors of a Ukrainian oil and gas giant, is now “raising questions” not only about his role with the company, but also about if he profited from his father’s political influence.

The younger Biden, who has a history of getting rich from entities tied to his father, is at center of controversy after President Donald Trump suggested the Ukrainian government look into his business dealings in the country. Although the former vice president has attempted to paint the issue as an abuse of power on Trump’s part, many have noted the unanswered questions surrounding his son’s tenure at Burisma points to serious conflict of interests, if not outright corruption, reported TheConservativeOpinion on Wednesday.
As Peter Schweizer, senior contributor at Breitbart News, detailed in his book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends, Hunter Biden had “no prior experience” with either the energy industry or Ukraine before joining Burisma in April 2014. In fact, his background in investment banking, lobbying, and hedge fund management paled in comparison to current and past members of the company’s board of directors.
