Joe Biden called it"improper" for President Donald Trump for having his daughter and son-in-law hold positions in the White House, suggesting in a CBS interview Sunday that Jared Kushner is not qualified to weigh in on the complex affairs assigned by his father-in-law.
"You should make it clear to the American public that everything you're doing is for them," Biden said, according to a CBS transcript, when he was asked about Ivanka Trump and Kushner, her husband, in White House posts with significant policy portfolios. Hunter Biden's work in Ukraine and China remains an emphasis of Trump's broadsides against Biden, a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. The younger Biden took a post on the board of a Ukrainian energy firm after his father became the Obama administration's point man on U.S.-Ukraine relations.
Story continues"You know, I'm glad they brought the Russians down," Biden said, noting Facebook's recent decision to shut down accounts that were distributing misinformation, including about Biden. But, the former vice president asked,"Why don't you bring down the lies that Trump is telling and everybody knows are lies?"
"What I meant by that is I hope you've thought this through. I hope you know exactly what you're doing here," the elder Biden said."That's all I meant. Nothing more than that because I've never discussed my business or their business, my sons' or daughter's. And I've never discussed them because they know where I have to do my job and that's it and they have to make their own judgments.
