US President Donald Trump said that the son of former US Vice President Joe Biden received $ 183 thousand a month from the Ukrainian company Burisma, Biden denied his words.
The Ukrainian company Burisma paid the son of former US Vice President Joe Biden Hunter $ 183,000 a month, says US President Donald Trump.
As the GORDON correspondent reports, during the debate, Trump recalled the US senators’ report released on September 23, which said that former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov’s widow Elena Baturina transferred $ 3.5 million to Hunter Biden. in 2014.
“Why, just out of curiosity, [бывший] the mayor of Moscow, his wife, gave his son $ 3.5 million? What did you do in Burisma to win $ 183,000? Trump asked. Reuters wrote it was about $ 83,000.
Biden said these claims were not true.
“All of this is not true … This is completely discredited,” said the former US vice president.
Trump insisted: “Was Burisma paying you $ 183,000 a month, even though you have no energy experience and didn’t get the job done?”
Biden replied that his son “did nothing wrong with Burisma.” Trump continued to interrupt his opponent.
“He doesn’t want me to answer because he knows I have the truth,” Biden replied.
Biden Jr. served on the board of directors of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Group, which is associated with the former minister of ecology in Mykola Azarov’s government, Mykola Zlochevsky. After the change of power in Ukraine in 2014, the GPU investigated Burisma’s activities, but the case was later closed. In 2016, Biden Sr. demanded the removal of Ukraine’s attorney general, Viktor Shokin, threatening that the United States would not provide Ukraine with $ 1 billion in loan guarantees.
In March 2019, Ukraine’s then-attorney general Yuriy Lutsenko hinted that Shokin’s resignation was related to criminal proceedings, which contained material that members of Burisma’s board of directors, including Biden’s son Hunter, received 17 million dollars, whose origin was questionable. In May, Lutsenko emphasized that his department had no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden or his son Hunter.
The situation with Biden’s son became the reason for the foreign policy conflict and the initiative to initiate impeachment proceedings for US President Trump in Congress. As a result, the lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives impeached him, and the upper house, the Senate, rejected both charges..
As is clear from the transcript of a telephone conversation between Trump and the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, on July 25, during the conversation, the Ukrainian leader promised his US counterpart that Ukraine’s new attorney general would consider the situation with him. case against Burisma. Later, the newly appointed head of the GPU, Ruslan Ryaboshapka, said that Burisma’s case would be reviewed.
At a press conference with Zelensky in New York on Sept. 25, Trump said Hunter Biden received $ 50,000 a month from Burisma, according to the White House website. He then also put forward the thesis, which he repeated on Twitter the next day, that Biden’s son allegedly “stole millions in China.” On October 6, Trump announced that Hunter Biden could receive 100,000 per month from Burisma.
Following the release of the transcript of the conversation between Trump and Zelensky, Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Office said detectives are investigating events from 2010-2012, when Biden’s son was not yet on the company’s board of directors. The head of the Anti-Corruption Specialized Prosecutor Nazar Kholodnitsky stressed that Biden and his son do not appear in the investigations of the Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities.
