A GOP lawmaker on the House Judiciary Committee said the panel wants to speak to the former Ukrainian prosecutor who was fired at the behest of then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden.
“I think he could be a key witness in this, of course,” Mr. Johnson said. “And you see the White House pushing back … and suggesting that he’s not a trustworthy witness. They say that about everyone involved in this — the idea that the president would be engaged in a pay-to-play scheme like this. Mr. Shokin, who was ousted from his position in 2016, described how President Biden, as vice president at the time, involved himself to get the former prosecutor fired.
Mr. Shokin also alleged that he learned that the elder Biden and Hunter Biden accepted bribes and set up the foundation for Russia to invade Ukraine. “I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,” Mr. Biden boasted to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018. “Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”
However, an email dated May 12, 2014 — not long after Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board — shows Mr. Pozharskyi trying to get him to use his political leverage to protect the company.
