you, of course, serve on the house oversight and reform committee, which as we all know is leading theseesident trump. so, congresswoman, i want to start with this hunter biden news and the former vice president's response today. hunter biden is resigning from the board of this chinese company which he owns a minority stake in. the fact that he's doing this, does that not imply that there is at least the appearance of impropriety or conflicts of interest on hunter biden's part? >> on the contrary. what it confirms is that hunter biden is a person of integrity. and in an abundance of caution, just to make absolutely sure that no question arises, that he would resign from the board he was sitting on and agree that going forward he would not serve on any boards of foreign companies if joe biden were to be elected president. it makes sense. it demonstrates the lifetime of integrity that have been represented by the bidens for their entire careers. >> but he was also on the board of that ukrainian gas company, burr burisma, while his father was vice president. isn't it kind of too late? isn't

i want to go to jerry connolly who sits on the house oversight and reform committee, one of the committees heading up the impeachment investigation. i appreciate your time. >> my pleasure, erin. >> you know, what did you think when you heard this part of the testimony about giuliani trying to get a visa in exchange for dirt on political democrats. >> i'm not going to comment directly on testimony behind closed doors, but let me just say the picture painted by mr. giuliani by a number of witnesses and by what we know in the public is one that is very disturbing and i think giuliani in collusion with president trump is turning the oval office into a cesspool. giuliani's contacts in ukraine are with the shadiest of shady characters, shulkin, leschenko, and other oligarchs not committed to institutions and are corrupt figures in their own right and his association with those kinds of characters claiming to represent the president of the united states when he interacts with them and not being contradicted to trump is very troubling. a request like this, if rudy giuliani goes and says -- excuse
