House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken Tuesday morning. In it, he demands new information and details about why Vice President Joe Biden demanded Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin be fired if the country wanted to receive billions in loan guarantees from the United States. At the time of his firing, Shokin was investigating corruption at Ukrainian gas company Burisma — the same company that was paying Hunter Biden $80,000 per month to sit on the board.
“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability seeks information from the U.S. Department of State to provide context for certain sudden foreign policy changes that occurred while Joe Biden was Vice President, particularly regarding Ukraine while then-Vice President Biden’s son served on the board of directors of a company being investigated for corruption,” Comer released in a statement Tuesday. “The Committee is investigating then-Vice President Biden’s and the Obama-Biden Administration’s official actions and policies regarding Ukraine. Specifically, the Committee seeks information regarding the State Department’s perception of the Ukrainian Office of the Prosecutor General, at the time headed by Viktor Shokin.”
To get him off of Hunter’s ass.
