Hunter Biden Was CC’d on Email to VP Joe Biden About Call with Ukrainian President

According to a document provided by the National Archives in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, a staff member for then-Vice President Joe Biden copied Hunter Biden on an email to Joe about an upcoming call with former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

Hunter Biden was included on a scheduling email from Joe Biden’s assistant, John Flynn, dated May 26, 2016, about a call between Joe Biden and Poroshenko, according to the Washington Times’ FOIA report. Hunter Biden made $83,000 per month as a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.

Flynn wrote to Joe and Hunter Biden:

Boss — 8:45 a.m. prep for 9 a.m. phone call with Pres Poroshenko. Then we’re off to Rhode Island for infrastructure event and then Wilmington for UDel commencement. Nate will have your draft remarks delivered later tonight or with your press clips in the morning.

The call took place on May 27, 2016. According to the mainstream media, Joe Biden urged Poroshenko to restructure the prosecutor general’s office in Ukraine.

Burisma was suspected of public corruption and money laundering at the time. Before being fired by Poroshenko due to pressure from Joe Biden, who threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire Shokin, prosecutor Victor Shokin looked into the case.

During a 2018 appearance at the Council of Foreign Relations, Joe Biden boasted about the dismissal. “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired,” Joe Biden said.

According to House Republican investigators, an FBI informant claims to have two pieces of evidence that demonstrate Joe and Hunter Biden received $5 million each in bribes from Burisma.

According to a source familiar with the FBI’s informant document, Hunter and Joe Biden “coerced” Burisma executive Mykola Zlochevsky into paying them $10 million in bribes in June, according to Breitbart News. Additionally, according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), the FBI informant file revealed that Hunter Biden owed his father $5 million in total, with a $5 million total cut represented by his lucrative position on Burisma’s board of directors.

Founder of Burisma Mykola Zlochevsky, who is accused of paying Joe Biden, allegedly kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with the Bidens as an “insurance policy,” according to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
