“No one’s found anything wrong with his dealings in Ukraine except they say it sets a bad image," Biden said
Guthrie asked the former vice president if his son Hunter Biden was hired by a Ukrainian energy company to gain access to the Obama administration.
"Yeah, and my son said that," Biden replied.
"Do you think it was wrong for him to take that position, knowing it was really because that company wanted access to you?" NBC's Savannah Guthrie asked.
"Well, that's not true," Biden retorted. "You are saying things — you do not know what you are talking about. No one said that. Who said that? Who said that?"
"Don't you think that it's just one of those things where people think, well, that seems kind of sleazy," Guthrie said. "Why would he have that job if not for who his father was?"
"Because he's a very bright guy," Biden responded, before later adding that his son is a "grown man" who can "speak for himself."
