Quotes that support the claim

There’s no known evidence that Joe Biden knew or personally benefited from the engagement, but it’s also not publicly known what actual work Hunter Biden did in exchange for these sums, or where the money is now.

Two Republican-led Senate committees concluded in a 2020 report that “much more work” needed to be done to fully analyse Hunter’s Burisma ties — but they could not find evidence of criminal wrongdoing nor direct involvement by Joe Biden. “Hunter Biden has made some questionable choices,” said Elisabeth Anker, associate professor of American studies and political science at George Washington University. “But he’s not part of his father’s administration or campaign, so these issues really do seem to be to the side of any evaluation of President Biden.” She argues that much of the criticism directed at the Biden family has been “purely political”.
