Former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has dismissed allegations from President Trump that he had been pressured by former Vice President Joe Biden to close an investigation into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas company that Hunter Biden sat on the board of.
“The former vice president, at least in personal conversations, didn’t raise any requests to open or close any concrete cases,” Poroshenko told Bloomberg on Wednesday.
Poroshenko said that Victor Shokin, the prosecutor looking into the case, resigned after “massive campaigns” by politicians and the media, and that went through with the move “to restore public confidence and trust” in the prosecutor general’s office and to “move the country forward.”
Biden has publicly admitted that he wanted the prosecutor fired, but claims it was over allegations of insufficient efforts in fighting corruption.
“We definitely do not want to be involved in the political process inside the United States,” Poroshenko told reporters. “ … we never, with any American official, speak about any commercial company.”
Impeachment has gained momentum on Capitol Hill following the release of a transcript of a July phone call between President Trump and newly elected Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, in which Trump mentioned Biden in the midst of a discussion about corruption.
According to The New York Times, Poroshenko, in an attempt to garner support during an election year, moved ahead with investigations into connections between Burisma and the Bidens earlier this year at the request of Trump and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
No video, it didn't happen. But there is video and Joe is guilty as hell.
SLEASY JOE SAID HUNTER WILL JOIN HIS CAMPAIGN....LOL
Even if Biden was lying on the video, that would be cause enough to investigate it I would think. But, I think there was something else going on with that firm that Biden’s son worked for that needed investigating.
Hey, буряковий борщ brain! You calling our former "Vice" President a liar!?!
EVERY DAMNED THING is one misstatement away from coherence.
Notice?
Biden did not pressure the Ukl gov’t to CLOSE THE CASE. He pressured them to FIRE THE PROSECUTOR.
Is there a difference?
NOBODY SAYS Hunter Biden did anything wrong.
What was wrong, was Joe Biden somehow finagling that/those positions for Hunter Biden.
Every one of these one-step-away items is a spin attempt.
Hanson and McCarthy bring in the readers and NR can claim 'fair and balanced'... both authors are well known for their honest, clear, non biased reporting. Being right doesn't make you biased....
Apparently, he missed the video.
Ukraine must investigate Joe Biden’s son, says ex-Ukrainian PM
Hi.
I guess Poroshenko didn’t see Biden’s video yet.
5.56mm
This is probably a true statement.
Biden didn't request and "cases" to be "closed."
Biden only requested the prosecutor to be fired. What happened to his cases after that was not "raised" in "personal conversations."
-PJ
So Gangster Joe was just doing a ‘parody’ when bragging about shaking down the former Ukrainian President?
Did Hillary call this guy? Maybe she asked about Seth Rich.
Carefully parsed words from the Ukrainian. No news here.
No worries, I wash your back.
It’s very careful wording. Slow Joe is on camera saying he pressured Ukrainians to fire a specific prosecutor.
Ex-Pres is saying Slow Joe never tried to close “concrete investigations”, which is no doubt a correct statement.
This is pretty good dezinformatzia.
It reminds me of “Why no, I did not throw an ashtray at Bill”.
Who ya gonna believe, me or your own lying eyes [and ears] ?
Boy, they sure do seem to like eachother.
So, Biden lied about it, trying to show what a tough guy he is. Just as scummy then.
Poor O shrinko must have been recently hired by the DNC. Now that the money is flowing to him, he is speaking up.
That he did do, but nice try you Russian hack.
