Ukraine Says Reviewing Cases on Company That Hired Biden's Son

(Bloomberg) -- Ukraine’s top prosecutor said all cases involving a company that hired former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s son are being audited, though no one’s sought to influence him on any investigations.

Donald Trump has pushed for a probe into Biden and his son, who used to do business in Ukraine. Democrats have begun impeachment hearings, saying the request targeting a key political rival before next year’s election constitutes an abuse of the presidential office.
