Media outlets and "fact checkers" have repeatedly claimed there is "no evidence" that Hunter Biden was "under investigation" at the time Joe Biden threatened to withhold a billion dollars from the Ukraine unless a certain prosecutor was fired. In reality, the prosecutor (Victor Shokin) signed a sworn affidavit stating: "The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors." Shokin also wrote to reporter John Solomon that his "specific plans" for this investigation "included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden." Shortly after Shokin resigned, Biden publicly stated that he told Ukrainian officials: "If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money." Biden then said: "Well, son of a bitch, he got fired."
