In the article, published by the New York Post, the newspaper claims to have gained access to a series of “revealing” emails dating back to Biden and his son, Hunter. In addition, the NYPD claims that Hunter introduced the father, who at the time was the vice president of the United States, to a Ukrainian businessman.

Joe Biden is said to have had his son’s business interests in mind when handling diplomatic relations between countries, the article states. Hunter has served on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which has been investigated for corruption.

Users who have tried to share the article have been warned that this is not possible. Twitter or the company’s partners have identified the link as “potentially harmful,” NTB writes.

Biden denies the accusation

US President Donald Trump has long claimed that Hunter has been instrumental in what he described as a corruption scandal in Ukraine. Among other things, the background to the Supreme Court case against him earlier this year was that last summer he withheld NOK 3.5 billion in promised military aid to the country, and then asked the country’s president, Voldoymyr Zelenskyj, to investigate Joe Biden and his son.

Joe Biden has denied the allegations of involvement, including those now promoted in the New York Post article. Democrats also stated in the 300-page House report, based on testimonies from various diplomats and high-ranking officials, that there was much evidence that Trump had abused his office as president.

“The president put his personal political interests before the national interests of the United States, sought to undermine the integrity of the United States presidential election process, and jeopardized the national security of the United States,” the report says.
