SOURCES TOLD FOX THAT ACCORDING TO THE JUNE 20-20 DOCUMENT – THE BURISMA EXECUTIVE INFORMED A CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE BACK IN 2015 AND 2016 THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO GAIN U.S. OIL RIGHTS AND CONTACTS.
AND IN DOING SO, HAD TO PAY THEN-VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN, AND HIS SON HUNTER, FIVE-MILLION DOLLARS APIECE TO HELP HIM ENTER THE U.S. OIL MARKET AMID AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO BURISMA BY UKRAINIAN PROSECUTOR VIKTOR SHOKIN.
BIDEN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WHEN HE WAS VICE-PRESIDENT, HE SUCCESSFULLY PRESSURED UKRAINE’S GOVERNMENT TO FIRE SHOKIN – WHO WAS – AT THE TIME – INVESTIGATING BURISMA HOLDINGS, WHERE HUNTER HAD A HIGHLY LUCRATIVE ROLE.
