Facilitated Obama-Biden admin’s relations with Ukraine concerning Burisma


Declassified documents will show the purported whistleblower who triggered the impeachment of President Trump helped facilitate the Obama-Biden administration’s interactions with the Ukrainian government related to Hunter Biden and the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, according to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.



Jordan, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday to turn over the documents, reported Sara Carter.


The lawmaker made the request after the release of redacted documentation he believes will show Democratic Party connections to Burisma and its founder, Mykola Zlochevsky.


According to Jordan, the State Department documents will reveal that the alleged impeachment “whistleblower,” Eric Ciaramella, “also played a role in facilitating the Obama-Biden Administration’s interactions with the Ukrainian government relating to Burisma and Hunter Biden.”


Hunter Biden collected some $3 million as a member of Bursima’s board despite having no experience in the natural gas industry. The arrangement was made when Biden’s father, Vice President Joe Biden, was President Obama’s point man for Ukraine policy.


Burisma at the time was facing a corruption investigation by Ukraine’s top prosecutor, the counterpart to the U.S. attorney general. Joe Biden was captured on video in a panel discussion boasting that he threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid from Ukraine if the prosecutor who happened to be probing Burisma was not fired. Ukraine complied.


Jordan requested that the documents be delivered to the intelligence committee by May 28.


Jordan told Pompeo the documents show the “whistleblower,” as a National Security Council detailee, hosted a White House meeting with Ukrainian prosecutors in January 2016 regarding a concern that Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma could complicate a potential prosecution of the company.
