Joe Biden is coming under further scrutiny for his involvement in Hunter Biden’s business dealings, as a photo taken on Air Force 2 on Dec. 6, 2015 shows the former vice president with an adviser closely related to his troubled son and the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. .
The photo was taken shortly before Joe Biden arrived in Ukraine for a meeting with the president and threatened to withhold $1 billion in US aid if they did not fire his top prosecutor Viktor Shokin.
Amos Hochstein, now Special Presidential Coordinator to President Biden, is pictured below. He allegedly had interactions with Hunter and his contacts at Ukraine’s Burisma Holdings when Biden’s son was a board member.
A photo by White House photographer David Lienemann shows Biden getting an update from Hochstein on Air Force Two.
The photo shows Joe Biden discussing issues with a Hunter Biden ally who was aware of Burisma’s problems days before he issued an ultimatum to former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire the top prosecutor or risk losing the billion of dollars in US aid.
Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) reacted to the photo on Fox News Digital.
“This damning footage of then-Vice President Joe Biden in Air Force Two en route to Ukraine talking to Amos Hochstein is just more evidence that Biden and senior Biden administration officials not only knew about Hunter Biden’s corrupt dealings, but also that Joe Biden was intimately involved while he was vice president,” Stefanik said.
“At the time of this photo, Hochstein was in communication with Hunter Biden and Burisma, where Hunter served on the board,” he continued. “We also know that this photo was taken on Air Force Two before Joe Biden’s now infamous meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, where Biden threatened to withhold aid if a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma was not fired “.
“All evidence points directly to Joe Biden being deeply compromised. House Republicans will leave no stone unturned in our investigations into Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence-peddling scheme,” he added Stefanik.
A December 2020 Senate Republican report on Hunter’s business activities indicates that in October 2015, Hochstein expressed concern that Hunter’s role on Burisma’s board could jeopardize US policy in Ukraine.
In the 2020 report, Hochstein stated that he discussed Burisma with Biden in the West Wing of the White House in October 2015. Visitor records show that he made three visits to the White House that month, two in the west wing and one in the second. floor
When Hochstein testified before Congress, he declined, on the advice of a lawyer, to testify about the substance of his conversations with Vice President Biden.
