Trump Caught Lying about Biden --- Again

From Fact Check:


“The president, without evidence, has claimed Joe Biden, as vice president, threatened to withhold “billions of dollars to Ukraine” in 2016 unless it removed the prosecutor general who “was prosecuting” Hunter Biden.”



“Yuriy Lutsenko, Ukraine’s then-prosecutor general, told Bloomberg News in May that Hunter Biden — who was a board member for Burisma, a gas company in Ukraine, from 2014 to 2019 — wasn’t under investigation.”



““Hunter Biden did not violate any Ukrainian laws — at least as of now, we do not see any wrongdoing,” Lutsenko, who resigned in August, told Bloomberg. Lutsenko said a corruption investigation into leaders of Ukrainian gas companies concerned a potential money-laundering transaction that had occurred before Hunter Biden joined the board. In 2017, Burisma announced that “all legal proceedings and pending criminal allegations” against the “operating companies of Burisma Group have been closed.””

The Washington Post also reports that in the investigation of the Ukrainian gas company Hunter Biden was NOT accused of any wrongdoing. Trump continues to lie about it.


"Hunter Biden served for nearly five years on the board of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest private gas company, whose owner came under scrutiny by Ukrainian prosecutors for possible abuse of power and unlawful enrichment. Hunter Biden was not accused of any wrongdoing in the investigation."
