Two Obama administration officials raised concerns to the White House in 2015 about Hunter Biden serving on the board of a Ukrainian natural-gas company while his father, then Vice President Joe Biden, led U.S. policy efforts toward the country, a Senate investigation by Republicans concluded.
The GOP-led probe shows that officials working on U.S.-Ukraine relations saw Hunter Biden's position as creating the perception of a conflict of interest with his father's work.
The findings, outlined in an 87-page report, don't support a central accusation President Trump and other Republicans have made about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's duties in Ukraine: that he sought the removal of the country's top prosecutor to protect the gas company, Burisma Holdings, from investigation.
"Hunter Biden's position on Burisma's board cast a shadow over the work of those advancing anticorruption reforms in Ukraine," the report says.
Rew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, said prior to the report's release that Sen. Ron Johnson, the Republican chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee who led the probe, was using committee resources to "Subsidize a foreign attack against the sovereignty of our elections with taxpayer dollars-an attack founded on a long-disproven, hard-core right-wing conspiracy theory." An attorney for Hunter Biden didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
