Going the way of Snopes.

You may be right. Here's one sentence in from the Wikipedia page on Hunter Biden:

Trump falsely told Zelensky that "[Joe] Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution" of his son; Joe Biden did not stop any prosecution, did not brag about doing so, and there is no evidence his son was ever under investigation.[42]
Biden certainly did brag in his Council on Foreign Relations interview about getting the state prosecutor fired. That prosecutor was investigating Burisma, the company Hunter Biden worked for. After the prosecutor was fired, the investigation was dropped. By pretending that this scandal is about criminal wrongdoing by Hunter Biden while he was on Burisma's board, Wikipedia can be technically correct while conveying a lie.

That's very Snopes-like.
