Campaign Fund Of Jimmy Ausbrooks issued the following announcement on Nov. 5.
The Ukrainian energy company that hired former Vice President Joseph R. Biden’s son Hunter for its board of directors pressed the Obama State Department at the time to end a corruption investigation into the company, according to State Department documents.
Burisma Holdings, which employed the younger Biden as a board member with a $50,000-per-month salary, pushed for a meeting with a top State Department official to discuss terminating the Ukraine investigation in February 2016, the documents show.
As part of the push to end the Ukraine probe, a Burisma representative name-dropped the younger Biden.
The revelations strike at the heart of the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against President Trump, who is accused of abusing Oval Office power by prodding Ukraine to investigate the elder Biden, a political rival.
The State Department documents were first reported by journalist John Solomon, who obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act request.
