You don't have a clue what really happened.
Biden worked with our allies in the EU and the World Bank to rid Ukrain of corruption. The funny thing about it is that if Joe Biden had taken NO ACTION to get rid of Shokin then right now Fox News would be telling you that Joe refused to work with our EU partners to get rid of the crooked Prosecutor because his son was involved in corruption in Ukrain. And you would be screaming about how crooked Biden was for NOT trying to force out Shokin and clean up the corruption in Ukrain.
Biden was just doing his job when he threatened to withhold foreign aid. He was acting in his official capacity and in the best interest of the United States and our European allies. That is exactly how the politics of foreign aid is supposed to work.
Was coming here to say this. People need to stop spreading fake news on the board.
Edit to add: The investigation into the company was in place before Shokin, had been dormant under Shokin (his lack of action on the case was one reason the US and others wanted Shokin gone) and was about activities before Hunter Biden was on the board meaning he would not have been swept up in the investigation and likely had no knowledge of it (because if he had, he probably wouldn't have taken the position given who his father is).
