Joe Biden worked with whistleblower when he was vice president, officials reveal

The 2020 Democratic candidate with whom the CIA whistleblower had a "Professional" tie is Joe Biden, according to intelligence officers and former White House officials.

A retired CIA officer told the Washington Examiner, "From everything we know about the whistleblower and his work in the executive branch then, there is absolutely no doubt he would have been working with Biden when he was vice president."

As an experienced CIA official on the NSC with the deep knowledge of Ukraine that he demonstrated in his complaint, it is probable that the whistleblower briefed Biden and likely that he accompanied him on Air Force Two during at least one of the six visits the 2020 candidate made to the country.

Last month, the whistleblower accused President Trump of abusing his position by asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.

Biden was President Barack Obama's "Point man" on Ukraine, making a half dozen trips there in his eight years as vice president.

The careful statement did not rule out that the whistleblower worked with one of the candidates before they started running for president.

"The truth is that the whistleblower would have worked with Biden not in some partisan political sense but as a member of the government," he said.
