"Viktor Shokin, the former top prosecutor for Ukraine who was fired
under pressure from then-Vice President Joe Biden, has finally spoken
out, posting a video on Thursday that rebuts allegations of corruption
in his office and why he believed Biden sought to end his investigation
into Burisma.
Sitting in front of the camera, Shokin explained the need for
his corruption investigation following the surprise lifting of a seizure
he had made of $23 million belonging to Burisma following the company’s
move to bring Hunter Biden and associate Devon Archer into the fold.
It was only 10 to 12 days before his termination, Shokin said, that
courts ordered millions of dollars in assets belonging to Burisma
President Mykola Zlochevsky be seized including oil wells, cars, and
real estate properties.
“We have to believe that [Vice President] Biden believed we were going to start questioning his son,” Shokin said.
It fell to Vice President Biden to use all means at his disposal, said
the former prosecutor, including calling on certain members of
parliament to increase pressure on the government to fire Shokin.
On Monday, Archer testified during a closed-door congressional hearing that Vice President Biden participated in dozens of meetings with himself, Hunter, and business associates including those at Burisma who wanted to see Shokin fired." TP
