As always, it is your prerogative if you choose to belief in the lie about Biden despite a plethora of sources unequivocally stating seeking Shokin's removal was the policy of the US. Clinging to lies is a feature, not a bug, in your behavior.Just as I thought: you can't quote any member of the Obama regime, other than Biden, demanding that Shokin be fired.
But sources ranging from former Obama administration officials to an anti-corruption advocate in Ukraine say the official, Viktor Shokin, was ousted for the opposite reason Trump and his allies claim.
It wasn't because Shokin was investigating a natural gas company tied to Biden's son; it was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians, according to a Ukrainian official and four former American officials who specialized in Ukraine and Europe.
Shokin's inaction prompted international calls for his ouster and ultimately resulted in his removal by Ukraine's parliament.

Trump has claimed Biden forced out Ukraine's top prosecutor in order to benefit his son. Former diplomats say the prosecutor wasn't doing his job.
