The only people that think Shokin was investigating Zlochevsky are the useful idiots targeted by Russian propaganda.
- Archer testified that Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings added Hunter Biden to its board because of the Biden “brand,” and paid Hunter up to $1 million a year.
- “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it,” Archer claimed.
- Archer testified that Hunter Biden referred to his father Joe as “my guy” and connected him to foreign business associates.
- Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky put pressure on Hunter Biden to build US support for getting rid of Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating his company, Archer testified.
WASHINGTON — Ukrainian prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who was fired after then-Vice President Joe Biden threatened to pull $1 billion in US aid, was “a threat” to natural gas company Burisma Holdings, which paid Hunter Biden up to $1 million per year, the first son’s former business partner Devon Archer confirmed in an interview released Friday.
“He was a threat. He ended up seizing assets of [Burisma owner] Nikolai [Zlochevsky] — a house, some cars, a couple properties. And Nikolai actually never went back to Ukraine after Shokin seized all of his assets,” Archer told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Shokin’s office won a court order to seize Zlochevsky’s property on Feb. 2, 2016, the Kyiv Post reported at the time. Shokin was fired on March 29, purportedly due to his own corruption.
Archer’s remarks are significant because they contradict the position of House Democrats that Shokin was not considered a threat to Burisma — a point likely to be hotly contested if Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) launches an impeachment inquiry, as he said last week was becoming likely.
