Presidential candidate Joe Biden recently snapped under questioning
about his son’s business dealings in Ukraine. On Monday, he defended his
son Hunter’s former board position at Burisma Holdings, a major
Ukrainian energy company, by claiming he got the job because he is a
“very bright guy.”The former vice president went on to say, “no one’s found anything wrong with his dealings in Ukraine except it was a bad image.” When pressed whether or not the 2020 hopeful agreed about the perception, however, Biden was quick to attack.
Meanwhile, recently released State Department emails have suggested Biden was selling his office to pocket the proceeds of Ukrainian corruption. A February 2016 email used Hunter Biden’s name in order to arrange a meeting between a senior State Department official and Burisma lobbyist Karen Tranmontano.
State Department emails also showed Tranmontano wanted to lobby the U.S. government for Burisma after it faced anti-corruption scrutiny by the Ukrainian government. According to reports, several Democrat witnesses were involved in the Biden-Ukraine corruption and benefited from it.
Republican senators, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), have called for a probe into the Bidens’ dealings.
“I can promise you no one has looked at whether or not there was a conflict of interest,” he stated. “No one has taken the time to explain how Hunter Biden got rich in the Ukraine and his father didn’t know anything about it.”
