US President Donald Trump accuses Weiden corruption
In the fierce assault of President Donald Trump, the son of US president rival Joe Biden should step down from the board of Chinese corporations.
Hunter Widen said it would not work for foreign companies if his lawyer was appointed.
President Trump asked China and Ukraine to investigate the work of his son in both countries without Joe Biden's evidence.
This is the heart of the impeachment investigation against the US president.
President Trump and his supporters accused Joe Biden of his abuse of power when the Ukrainian vice president pressured Ukraine to withdraw from a criminal investigation that could involve his son working for a Ukrainian energy company.

He accused the 49-year-old hunter of having influenced China to invest in the funds he participated in.
The impeachment investigation was initiated by the US Democratic Democratic Party. The president is centered on claims that he violated the law by asking foreign powers (Ukraine) for election gains.
What did Hunter Widen say?
A statement issued by Hunter Biden's lawyers said he would resign from the board of directors of the BHR (Shanghai) equity investment fund management company by October 31.
He said he joined the board unpaidly "based on his interest in how to bring Chinese capital into the international market."
The statement states that when Hunter is elected president to "resolve conflicts of interest or the emergence of such conflicts", the board or affairs of the foreign-owned enterprise will "follow" and "in any case" the guidelines issued by the father.
The statement also details the nature of the work in Ukraine and China, and there were no mistakes.

What is the background of the fund?
Hunter Biden and his daughter Finnegan, along with Joe Biden, officially traveled to Beijing in December 2013 on the Vice President Air Force 2.
Since then, Hunter Biden has met with Chinese bankers Jonathan Li and BHR (Shanghai) equity investment fund management company final partners.
The Chinese business permit for the new fund was issued by Shanghai authorities after 10 days of Bidens visit. Hunter Wieden was appointed to the Board of Directors.
His lawyer, George Mesires, told the US media that he did not get a stake in the fund until 2017 after his father retired.
Attorney Hunter Biden invested only $ 420,000 (£ 335,000) in a 10{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} stake, which would value the fund's total capital at about $ 420,000.
This means that Hunter Biden represents much less than $ 1.5 billion in business activity in China.
According to the Financial Times newspaper, BHR is a private equity fund supported by China's largest state bank, local government and national pension funds.
What was Trump's accusation against the Widden people?
President Trump also accused former US Vice President and his son Hunter of corruption in political and business dealings with Ukraine and China without providing concrete evidence.
When Hunter Biden joined the board of directors of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma in 2014, questions were raised about a potential conflict of interest for his father.
Elder Widen was a member of the Obama administration in Eastern European countries, while Ukraine was undergoing political change after the pro-Russian president took office.
In 2016, Joe Biden forced the Ukrainian government to fire the top prosecution, which is scrutinizing the owners of Bursa.
In a speech at Think Tank last year, Joe Biden boasted that he had forcibly removed the prosecution by threatening to withhold a $ 1 billion loan guarantee to Ukraine.
Trump and his allies accuse Joe Weiden of acting to protect his son. But other Western government officials and major financial leaders of the Ukrainian government also wanted to be fired because the prosecution was seen as a barrier to anti-corruption efforts.
What is the impeachment inquiry?
The Democratic-led investigation found that Trump withdrew nearly $ 420 million (327 million pounds) to help President Trump's newly elected President of the Republic of Ukraine, Volodymir Zelenski, start investigating Joe Biden and his son. Try to check whether or not.
President Trump phoned July 25 to ask Zelensky for help with the matter.
