US President Joe Biden seems to be caught in a major crisis. Biden is accused of taking a bribe of $5 million from a company in Ukraine. A Fox News report claimed that President Biden had received $5 million in kickbacks from an executive of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings. This is the same company where Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden was a board member. Hunter Biden worked in this company for a long time.
Favour Was Sought From Biden
The report claimed that an investigation is underway against the executive officer of that gas firm. Ukrainian lawyer Viktor Shokin is investigating it. The executive facing corruption charges sought favours from Joe Biden because the company could not invest because of the allegations. According to the news, ‘Joe Biden was paid $ 5 million to end the corruption investigation.’
The FBI learned about this in June 2020 from a confidential source. The source indicated that Joe Biden and a foreign national were allegedly involved in a criminal bribery scandal. Media reports refer to an FBI FD-1023 form, which FBI agents use to file unverified information provided by confidential sources. The FBI form cites a source interviewed as “highly reliable”.
Where Did The Money Come From?
According to reports, that FBI document allegedly contains all the information on how Joe Biden was given $5 million to fire a Ukrainian lawyer. The money allegedly came from the Ukrainian oil company Burisma Holdings owner. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have alleged that apart from President Biden, his son Hunter Biden also received $5 million to protect the Ukrainian gas company from a corruption investigation.
The source said she had several meetings with a senior Burisma executive since 2015 to discuss the matter. Meanwhile, the executive sought advice from a confidential source on the issues related to obtaining oil rights in the US and establishing a relationship with an American oil company.
