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, didnt 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 generals 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.
Well, Biden probably put up another bribe.. Old crooks need money too... :)
Was he being interrogated , or just investigated? I haven’t heard that he was actually interrogated, but it is so easy to miss things anymore. If he was indeed interrogated that puts a whole different light on him I would think.

LOL. Porky didn’t think this why in 2016.
“” “” Porky the Pig Poroschenko is a corrupt POS who will be going to prison in the Ukraine soon.”” “”
Dream on. New govermnet won’t fight its way out of a paper bag. Zelensky promised to put Porky and company in prison and to establish a rule of law but the latter is still in charge of propaganda via his media empire and recruiting neo-Nazi ‘activists’ for unrest.
All Zelensky’s major appointments are Porky’s loyalists. The new AG is an ally and friend of the Porky’s one mulled by Biden at the time. Nazis are back to the streets and didn’t go to prison.
Joe, you gonna take that? He's calling you a liar!
