Joe Biden Now Under Investigation in Ukraine Over Allegations About Pressuring Prosecutor

Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during a Democratic presidential primary debate Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020, in Las Vegas, hosted by NBC News and MSNBC. It's been a long time coming but it looks like Ukraine is finally investigating former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden over his pressuring Ukrainians officials to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2016.

Shokin has been pushing for an investigation for some time, alleging that he was fired because of pressure from Biden and because Shokin was trying to investigate Burisma, the company that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's.

The issue exploded after a video of Joe Biden, at a Council on Foreign Relations event in 2018, came out in admitting that he pressured Ukraine over the prosecutor, including the "Quid pro quo" of threatening to hold back one billion in loan guarantees.

Biden has argued that many people including the EU and the IMF wanted the prosecutor fired alleging he was corrupt and his campaign has argued that Burisma was not under investigation at the time.

Shokin has said under oath in an affidavit that he was fired by Poroshenko and it was because of Biden.

There's a lot talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.

That's the thing that got Trump impeached, for daring to ask if the quid pro quo Joe Biden appeared to do was proper, not to "Investigate the Bidens" as has generally been cast.
