Hunter Biden was interviewed by Amy Robach on ABC News:

ROBACH: If your last name wasn’t Biden do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Burisma?

BIDEN: I don’t know. I don’t know. Probably not. But that’s – you know, I, I don’t think that there’s a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name wasn’t Biden.

ROBACH: Why did you leave then board in April?”

BIDEN: It’s a five-year term. … And I chose not to.

ROBACH: Why?

BIDEN: I think it’s pretty obvious why.

ROBACH: This is your opportunity to say why.
