Former Vice President Joe Biden says �no one ever spoke to me� about his son�s work with a Ukrainian gas company.

His remark Wednesday came in response to comments made by a former State Department official to impeachment investigators last week.

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent said in a closed hearing with lawmakers that he questioned the optics of Hunter Biden�s work but was told Joe Biden couldn�t address the issue because he was dealing with another son�s cancer diagnosis.

Speaking to reporters after a campaign event in West Point, Iowa, Biden said Kent may have raised the issue with someone else, but no one brought it up to him.

Biden added: �No one ever said I said I didn�t have the bandwidth to deal with it.�
