Judicial authorities in Ukraine want to review the affairs of gas company Burisma, for which Hunter Biden, the son of US presidential candidate Joe Biden, has worked occasionally. This was announced by the Ukrainian Attorney General Ruslan Ryaboshapka. The news agency Interfax-Ukraine reports that this is also about the time when Hunter Biden sat on the company's supervisory board.
Asked if he knew anything about possible misconduct by Hunter Biden, Ryaboshapka said, "I have no such information," according to Reuters. It would examine transactions involving, among others, the former head of Burisma Mykola Slotschewsky and the Ukrainian businessman Sergei Kishchenko.
US President Donald Trump, in a telephone conversation with Ukrainian head of state Volodymyr Selenskyj on July 25, urged Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son.
Trump also asks China for an investigation
The opposition Democrats accuse Trump of abuse of office and have initiated investigations into a possible impeachment. They accuse Trump of temporarily using blocked military aid as a lever. The US president rejects the allegations as absurd.
Most recently Trump criticized him for asking China to take on the Biden case. Before reporters in Washington, he called on the Beijing government to investigate Democrat Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Trump suspects the Biden without evidence to have been involved in corruption cases in Ukraine as in China. (Read more about this here).
