Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) took to Twitter on Friday in series of tweets, regarding his ongoing investigation into the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings and Hunter Biden’s involvement. Johnson also issued 13 questions, which he believes, “the mainstream media should be asking and Joe Biden should be answering”.
Burisma is connected to the former vice president through his son, Hunter Biden, who served on the company’s board from 2014 to 2019. He reportedly made as much as $50,000 a month through the deal. Joe Biden faced scrutiny for months over his past role pressuring Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor while he was leading an investigation into that company, reported Fox Business.
In a series of tweets, Senator Ron Johnson wrote:
“My investigations into multiple corruptions during the Obama administration have been ongoing for years. I didn’t target [Joe Biden], his actions and glaring conflict of interest yielding millions of dollars for Hunter from a corrupt Ukrainian gas business demanded scrutiny.
Two months after Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity – a revolution against corruption – Hunter seized a multimillion-dollar opportunity available to him because his last name was Biden.
Ukrainian officials, desperate for U.S. support, got the message: If you want U.S. support, don’t touch Burisma.” Continued Below
“Even Secretary of State Kerry’s stepson knew Hunter’s involvement with Burisma was problematic, severing business ties with Hunter and making clear his reason why,” Senator Johnson continued and attached an article from the Washington Examiner titled: John Kerry’s son cut business ties with Hunter Biden over Ukrainian oil deal.
