Ukraine Says Reviewing Cases on Company That Hired Biden's Son
Ukraine Says All Cases Involving Bidens Are Being Reviewed
(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.
Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka said Friday that all cases relating Burisma, a natural gas company where Hunter Biden sat on the board, will be assessed and checked for evidence of impropriety.
