New documents have revealed a massive lobbying effort at the
Obama-era State Department by Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The
newly released State Department documents show Joe Biden pressured the
Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor back in 2016, which is
about a month after Burisma reached out to the agency.The company employed Biden’s son Hunter and was under an investigation by prosecutor Viktor Shokin at the time. Ukraine suspected Burisma executives of money laundering and corruption.
Republican lawmakers have said the so-called whistleblower may have ties to Biden’s alleged corruption schemes.AwkwardEmails show Burisma lobbyists requesting meeting in early 2016 with Obama administration to discuss corruption investigation involving Hunter Biden pic.twitter.com/jl7ogTBxOk

“The whistleblower, actually, is a
material witness completely separate from being the whistleblower
because he worked for Joe Biden. He worked for Joe Biden at the same
time Hunter Biden was receiving $50,000 a month. So, the investigation
into the corruption of Hunter Biden involves this whistleblower because
he was there at the time. Did he bring up the conflict of interest? Was
there discussion of this? What was his involvement with the relationship
between Joe Biden and the prosecutors?” — Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have said the only reason Biden sat on
Burisma’s board was to “protect” the company from scrutiny.It’s time for:*Joe Biden and John Kerry to come clean about the full nature of the access Hunter was able to secure for Burisma
AND
*House Democrats must release all of the transcripts from their closed-door depositions immediatelyhttps://t.co/rEtwSAYEmc
