    Ukraine Lawmaker Alleges Hunter


    Biden and Partners Received $16.5
    Million 'Obtained by Criminal
    Means' - Report
    Ukraine Lawmaker Levels Major Accusation Against Hunter Biden

    By Randy DeSoto
    Published November 20, 2019 at 6:18pm

    A Ukrainian member of Parliament alleged on Wednesday


    that $16.5 million received by former Vice President Joe
    Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his partners through Burisma
    Holdings was stolen from Ukrainian citizens.

    Hunter Biden took at position on the board of the Ukrainian


    natural gas firm Burisma Holdings in April 2014, months
    after his father had been named the Obama administration’s
    point man for Ukraine, The Wall Street Journal reported.

    An official with ties to Burisma told The Journal Biden’s


    compensation was around $50,000 per month.

    The position with the company ended in April of this year,


    the same month Joe Biden announced his presidential
    candidacy.

    Over the course of the five years that Hunter Biden was on
    the Burisma board, he would have earned $3 million in
    compensation.

    Ukrainian Member of Parliament Andriy Derkach stated that


    the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office has reason to
    believe Burisma’s owner Mykola Zlochevsky obtained the
    funds paid to Biden and his associates by “criminal means.”

    “The PGO document once again confirms the data I had


    previously published on Burisma and international
    corruption. According to Zlochevsky’s suspicion notice, Biden
    and partners received their $16.5 million for their services to
    Burisma,” Derkach said at a news conference in Kiev,
    according to Interfax-Ukraine.

    “Biden received funds not due to the successful activity of


    Burisma or for brilliant business decisions or
    recommendations. This is the money of Ukrainian citizens.
    The funds were obtained by criminal means. That’s what
    they say in the PGO,” the member of parliament said.

    Derkach went on to detail, based on investigative journalist


    reports, that Zlochevsky laundered funds from the
    Yanukovych criminal organization in the Ukraine through
    three companies in Latvia.

    Derkach pointed out that Ex-Prosecutor General Viktor


    Shokin had repeatedly been in contact with the National
    Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine in the context of criminal
    proceedings regarding Burisma.

    Shokin’s activities caught Joe Biden’s attention during his


    visit to Kiev in December 2015.

    When he returned in March 2016, the then-vice president


    demanded Shokin be fired by the time Biden left the country
    six hours from then, or Ukraine would not be receiving U.S.
    aid.

    “The instrument issued for pressure was the $1 billion credit


    guarantee that the United States should have provided to
    Ukraine: Biden himself acknowledged the pressure in his
    speech to the U.S. Foreign Relations Council in January 2018,”
    Derkach said.

    The lawmaker also stated from May 2014 to October 2015,


    Burisma transferred $4.817 million to Hunter Biden’s
    investment company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which
    made a payment to him of $871,000.

    RealClear Investigations reported that a watchdog group


    determined Biden received “more than 12 times comparable
    board pay at similarly sized companies.”

    GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York noted that multiple


    witnesses who have appeared before the House Intelligence
    Committee’s impeachment inquiry have agreed that Hunter
    Biden’s position on the Burisma board, while his father
    oversaw Ukraine policy, raised concerns about potential
    conflicts of interest.

    Rep. Elise Stefanik


    @RepStefanik

    VERY IMPORTANT FACTS:

    Both witnesses confirmed that defensive lethal aid was


    provided to Ukraine by President Trump, not President Obama.

    Both witnesses confirmed that Hunter Biden serving on the


    board of Burisma had the appearance of a conflict of interest.

    asked” confirmed it had the appearance of a conflict of
    interest.
