Former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was fired after pressure from Joe Biden, has come forward with bold accusations that the former vice president and his son were involved in corrupt dealings with Ukrainian oligarchs. Shokin had been investigating Burisma Holdings, an energy company in Ukraine that was paying Hunter Biden a hefty salary. Biden, in a now infamous incident, boasted about having Shokin fired by threatening to withhold a billion dollars in loan guarantees from Ukraine.

Shokin, in an interview with Fox News, stated that he believes Biden and his son were bribed, although he cannot provide concrete evidence. He also questioned the ethics of Biden using one billion dollars of US money to secure his firing. While Biden’s defenders have claimed that Shokin was believed to be corrupt, recently released emails show that even Eric Ciaramella, the so-called whistleblower who triggered President Trump’s impeachment, expressed surprise at Biden’s actions and appeared to be impressed by Shokin.
Shokin maintains that he was fired solely because his investigation posed a threat to the Bidens and their financial interests. He insists that Burisma was involved in illegal activities and his previous interviews have revealed that he was investigating the energy company due to its connections to Hunter Biden and his father’s role in overseeing Ukraine affairs for the White House.
Despite the serious allegations made by Shokin and the statements of Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Democrats continue to dismiss the scandal as debunked without providing any concrete evidence to support their claim. The American public deserves the truth, and it is concerning that Democrats are so quick to label any accusations against their own party as baseless conspiracy theories. Transparency is essential in order to restore faith in our government officials, and it is clear that this issue deserves further investigation.
