House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) demanded the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) hand over then-Vice President Joe Biden’s documents and communications regarding his duties as vice president that overlapped with his son’s activities in Ukraine.
Joe Biden was the designated foreign policy point person to Ukraine during the Obama administration. The House Oversight Committee argues Joe Biden threatened to withhold U.S. aid to Ukraine in 2015 until the president of Ukraine fired prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who investigated Burisma Holdings.
The energy company paid Hunter Biden $83,000 a month for a board position to obtain the Biden “brand,” as Biden business associate Devon Archer described the arrangement.
Years later, in 2018, Joe Biden bragged about the firing of Shokin, which he pushed for during an official visit to Ukraine in 2015.
