Biden/Ukraine Dealings
Did Joe Biden use U.S. taxpayer money to do the bidding of a Ukrainian energy company that gave millions of dollars to a firm that was paying his son Hunter?
Correct Answer
In 2014-2015, a Ukrainian energy company named Burisma gave at least $3.3 million to a Delaware corporation that paid $708,312 directly to Hunter Biden and $2.5 million to entities associated with him. In 2015, a top executive of Burisma sent an email to Hunter telling him to "proceed immediately" with enlisting "high-ranking US officials" to visit Ukraine and persuade "the highest level of decision makers" to "close down" all "cases/pursuits against" Burisma's owner. Hunter replied, "Looking forward to getting started on this." The next month, Joe Biden visited Ukraine and told its president that if the nation's chief prosecutor wasn't fired, he would withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid from Ukraine. Court records show that the prosecutor was actively investigating Burisma's owner at that time. After the prosecutor was fired, the new chief prosecutor, who Biden publicly described as "solid," dropped all criminal charges against Burisma's owner.
