House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has written a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding records on Joe Biden’s actions with Ukraine while Vice President.
Comer requested documents and communications regarding the “State Department’s perception of the Ukrainian Office of the Prosecutor General, at the time headed by Viktor Shokin.”
Shokin was fired in March 2016 after pressure from Vice President Biden.
“In March 2014, a French bank reported Zlochevsky to ‘U.K. authorities on suspicion of money laundering after his companies tried to move $23 million to Cyprus from their British account at the bank,'” Comer wrote to Blinken.
“Hunter Biden joined Burisma in April 2014 and was paid approximately one million dollars per year.”

In his letter, Comer cited then-administration officials’ compliments to Shokin for battling dishonesty in Ukraine, and then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, in September 2015, saying “we want to work with Prosecutor General Shokin so the [Prosecutor General Office] is leading the fight against corruption.”
Things apparently changed shortly thereafter, when Biden visited Ukraine in December 2015 and allegedly said $1 billion in loan guarantees to the country would not happen unless Shokin were fired.
“By late 2015, however, the removal of Prosecutor General Shokin became a condition of the loan guarantee by the United States,” Comer wrote to Blinken.
“In March 2016, Shokin was dismissed from his position by the Ukrainian Rada after months of public pressure most adamantly applied by then-Vice President Biden.”
