Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was paid for his work as a board member a Ukrainian oligarch-owned energy company while his father was vice president, the New York Times confirms.
According to the Times, Hunter Biden was paid “as much as $50,000 per month in some months” as a board member of Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm owned by a member of the Ukrainian oligarchy.
Vice President Biden was heavily involved in mediating U.S. policy towards the Ukraine. When a Ukrainian prosecutor launched a corruption investigation into the energy company Hunter Biden was board member of, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to the country if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor. As John Solomon of The Hill reported, Biden’s threat would have thrown the former Soviet republic into insolvency at a time when Ukraine was fending off threats from Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
In a speech last year before the Council on Foreign Relations, the former vice president bragged about his successful use of these strong-arm tactics to get the prosecutor fired, saying that he told the Ukrainians, “If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.”
Biden then boasted, “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.”

Well well, there is a scandal under Obama's terms, using his official capacity to bring favor to his son and a phony seat on a board of trustees. I am sure Hunter Biden was at every board meeting voting on decisions for the Ukranian company!!
I believe he also set up a hedge fund after VP Bidens visit to China a Chinese bank poured a large sum into Biden Jrs hedge fund that he started along with John Kerrys son.These democrats make the mafia look like choir boys
Dig him up and charge him.
What’s wrong wuth that? He needs to support 2 women and his cocaine habit!
Hunter has been Slow Joe's bagman and money conduit for years. It appears he's only capable of buying coke and hitting on emotionally vulnerable women when left to his own devices. Everything else is stage managed by MaxHeadroom's clone, aka Slow Joe.
