7 essential facts about the Biden Ukraine dealings

Peter Schweizer and the Government Accountability Institute spent three years investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter and their dealings in the Ukraine and China. The research culminated in the #1 New York Times bestselling book Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends. Below are seven essential facts that have come from some of the results of the investigation.

1. Joe Bidenโ€™s son, Hunter Biden, joined the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma in April 2014, according to RSB bank records. Hunter Biden had little background in energy. Over a 16-month period, Burisma paid $3.1 million to a bank account associated with Hunterโ€™s business.

2. Joe Biden led the Obama administrationโ€™s policy toward Ukraine when he served as vice president. Biden helped shape Ukraineโ€™s energy and anti-corruption policies, issues that directly impact Burisma.

3. Burisma sought to capitalize Hunter Bidenโ€™s name and relationships. According to The New York Times, Hunter Biden helped assemble the companyโ€™s legal team, which consisted of American attorneys and consulting firms, including a former Obama Justice Department official.

4. Burisma is led by an oligarch named Mykola Zlochevsky. Zlochevsky served as ecology minister under pro-Russia former Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovich, leading to allegations that he used his office to benefit Burisma.

5. Burisma was under legal scrutiny. Shortly before Hunter Biden was appointed to Burismaโ€™s board, British authorities froze $23 million of Zlochevskyโ€™s assets as part of a corruption investigation. Ukraine opened its own probe later that year.

6. Financial records from Morgan Stanley show numerous lines of money going into the account of โ€œRobert H. Biden.โ€ The funds originated from oligarchs and anonymous LLCs in Ukraine, China, Kazakhstan and elsewhere.

7. In 2013, then-Vice President Biden and his son Hunter flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Ten days later, Hunter Bidenโ€™s firm scored a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese governmentโ€™s Bank of China.
