G.O.P. The senators acknowledged in their report that it was unclear how much Hunter Biden’s work had affected U.S. policy for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, but argued that it had created “awkwardness” for the Obama-era state department.
“What the presidents discovered during this investigation is that the Obama administration knew that Hunter Biden’s position on the board of Buryasma was problematic and interfered with the efficient implementation of policy in the context of Ukraine.”
The two officials – George Kent, who currently serves as deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs and Amos Hochstein, a senior Obama administration official – told the committee they have expressed concern about Hunter Biden’s work and possible conflict. U.P. Interested with Ukraine policy, G.O.P. According to the report.
The report says Kent’s concerns were not allayed and in an email to his colleagues in September 2011, “Hunter Biden’s presence on the Burisma board was awkward for all US officials pushing the anti-corruption agenda in Ukraine.” ‘ .
But Kent’s concerns were made public earlier last year, when he reported in a Washington Post report that he was concerned that Hunter Biden’s work for Bunisma Holdings in Ukraine could lead to the U.S. Policy may fall.
Hoch Chastein had earlier told colleagues that Burisma was a U.S. citizen. The policy was never changed, and they were G.O.P. The committee working on the probe will tell employees that the Obama administration seeks punishment rather than saving Burishma.
In addition to the Obama-era State Department policy, the G.O.P. The investigation also uncovered financial transactions and travel, with Hunter Biden providing details of the Secret Service to his father as vice president.
The report is expected to provoke strong reactions from both Democrats and the Biden campaign, who have been deeply skeptical of the probe and warn that it could spread Russian misinformation.
Committee Democrats are expected to release their own report to counter the GOP findings, and the Biden campaign immediately panned Johnson on Wednesday.
“As coronavirus deaths continue to rise and Wisconsinites struggle with unemployment, Ron Johnson has wasted months trying to remove any oversight from the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee’s devastating federal response to the epidemic,” he said. That ‘death is an inevitable part of life.’ Why To subsidize foreign attacks against our electoral sovereignty with taxpayer dollars, ”said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign.
Johnson has denied for months that his investigation into Biden’s presidency is ongoing, but he has told the report something that would raise questions about the former vice president’s health.
“I think what our investigation is revealing will reveal that there is no one we should elect as president of the United States,” Johnson said in an interview with local Wisconsin radio station WCLO earlier this month.
No evidence suggests criminal malpractice by Bidens. A statement leaked by President Trump that Biden fired Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin for protecting his son has been widely criticized, although Hunter Biden said joining the board was a “weak decision.”
The committee, as part of a vote earlier this month, approved the G.O.P. Consents to simultaneously issue transcripts of closed-door representations as a report. Testimony was not released Wednesday in the report, but a Johnson spokesman said they would be released later Wednesday.
Sen. Gary PetersGary Charles Petersbiden’s top six batsmen in 2011 said the controversial Biden set the GOP to release the report, with Democrats fearing that Russia’s interference could spoil the bid to retake the Senate. (D-Mitch.), The committee’s top Democrat warned that the G.O.P. Submitting the report without transcripts violates the agreement to release the transcripts, which are passed to the Homeland Security Panel on Voice Is Vote.
“In direct violation of the rules of this committee, releasing a report without simultaneous publication of all witness interview transcripts will further weaken the committee’s ability to effectively discharge its responsibilities on behalf of the public in the future,” he said.
