Trending Politics "Newly declassified emails obtained released by the U.S. State Department suggest deep-seated corruption in the Biden family. Despite the impeachment of a sitting president, Donald Trump, for seeking answers on the appearance of impropriety involving Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine, the emails now reveal that those shady dealings indeed “undercut” U.S. foreign policy.
"Former U.S. embassy official George Kent, one of the star witnesses in the Trump impeachment trial, was the author of an email dated November 22, 2016. The emails were obtained by Just the News under Freedom of Information Act request.
“'The real issue to my mind was that someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter’s presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine,” Kent bluntly wrote.
“ 'Kent’s email described an intense pressure campaign by advocates for Burisma — including a former U.S. ambassador — to rehabilitate the Ukrainian company’s corrupt reputation and to get Ukraine prosecutors to drop their criminal investigations of the company,” Just the News reported.
“ 'Kent even relayed to higher-ups that he had confirmed with Ukrainian prosecutors that Burisma officials had paid a $7 million ‘bribe’ to make one of the cases against the company disappear. The bribe was allegedly paid at a time when Hunter Biden was serving on the Burisma board, a job that landed his firm more than $3 million from the Ukrainian energy company.”
“ 'Kent explained to the officials in Washington that Burisma’s long reputation for alleged corruption and anecdotes like the bribe were one of the main reasons Hunter Biden’s affiliation with the company proved harmful to U.S. efforts to fight Ukrainian corruption,” the report continued.". . .
