The evidence is stacking up against Republicans’ (thus far unfounded) claims that President Joe Biden was the recipient of a foreign bribery scheme while serving as vice president.
House Oversight Committee Democrats on Thursday unveiled a document filled out by Mykola Zlochevsky—who their colleagues across the aisle allege may have handed Biden a $5 million kickback—in which the Ukrainian oligarch says he never interacted with Biden when he was vice president.
While Hunter Biden did once serve on the board of Burisma, an energy company Zlochevsky co-founded, he doesn’t seem to have gotten any help from his dad—at least according to Zlochevsky.
“WE NEVER HAD CONTACTS WITH VP BIDEN DURING HIS VISITS TO UKRAINE,” the questionnaire read. “NO ONE FROM BURISMA EVER HAD ANY CONTACTS WITH VP BIDEN OR PEOPLE WORKING FOR HIM DURING HUNTER BIDEN'S ENGAGEMENT.”
