What Hunter Biden did on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma

 


Burisma Owner Thought Hunter Biden Was Dumber Than His Dog: FBI Document (newsweek.com)    "New details from a previously redacted FBI document claim that the owner of Ukrainian gas company Burisma thought Hunter Biden was dumber than his dog.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa on Thursday dispersed more details from the FBI's FD-1023 document that has been claimed for months by Grassley and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky to contain "credible" evidence that President Joe Biden and his son engaged in questionable business dealings.

The document from June 2020 says that Joe and Hunter Biden each received $5 million from Mykola Zlochevsky, a former elected official and current owner of Burisma.

"For the better part of a year, I've been pushing the Justice Department (DOJ) and FBI to provide details on its handling of very significant allegations from a trusted FBI informant implicating then-Vice President Biden in a criminal bribery scheme," Grassley told Newsweek. "While the FBI sought to obfuscate and redact, the American people can now read this document for themselves—without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats—thanks to brave and heroic whistleblowers.

What Hunter Biden did on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma

"During his time on the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Hunter Biden, the son of former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, was regarded as a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name, according to people familiar with Biden’s role at the company.

"Biden’s role at Burisma Holdings Ltd has come under intense scrutiny following unsupported accusations by U.S. President Donald Trump that Joe Biden improperly tried to help his son’s business interests in Ukraine.

"Interviews with more than a dozen people, including executives and former prosecutors in Ukraine, paint a picture of a director who provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance and strategy during a five-year term on the board, which ended in April of this year.

"Biden never visited Ukraine for company business during that time, according to three of the people.
