The politically charged report said it was ultimately ‘unclear’ what impact Hunter Biden’s position on the board of a Ukrainian gas company had on Obama administration policy with regard to Ukraine

In this file photo, U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden and his son Hunter attend an NCAA basketball game in Washington, on Jan. 30, 2010.Two Republican-led Senate committees issued a politically charged report Wednesday alleging that the work Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son did in Ukraine constituted a conflict of interest for the Obama administration at a time when Biden was engaged in Ukraine policy as vice-president.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, whose Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is one of the two panels that released the 87-page report, had acknowledged in interviews his goal of making the document public before the election, telling The Associated Press last month that the “American people deserve the truth” about his probe.

It references a 2016 e-mail from George Kent, the former acting deputy chief of mission at the Kyiv embassy, that described the presence of Hunter Biden on the Burisma board as “very awkward for all U.S. officials pushing an anticorruption agenda in Ukraine.” Kent testified about his concerns during the impeachment proceedings against Trump last year.

“Moreover, this investigation has illustrated the extent to which officials within the Obama administration ignored the glaring warning signs when the vice-president’s son joined the board of a company owned by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch,” it adds. The report includes only six references, including in footnotes, to Shokin and does not expose new information about any role Biden may have had in his ouster.

I agree. I think the children of all politicians should be able to go overseas and earn millions despite not being able to speak the language and not knowing anything about the country or the industry. That’s why I’m running for office.

The irony that democrats believe that this idiot “earned” his right on the board of directors of Burisma, while strolling off air force one, is ludicrous.

Of course...getting close to the wire so start bringing out the mud.slinging.....just my personal opinion🙏🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

It’s funny how your reporting this yet other news places are reporting a totally different story. And you won’t let me post the link to it. Spreading lies much

So the GOP is harassing it’s political opponent with “trumped up” charges! So sad! 2020Election

Try criminal....

Trumps kids are angles flying around the world like royals on the taxpayers dime.

Both sides are deeply corrupt. Ugh. Make me leader! I’ll only be lightly corrupt.

Did hunter use Russian sex slaves or not?

Did hunter take the 3.5 million from the wife of the mayor of Moscow or not?

Desperate election interference from the GOP. Sad.

$3.5 mill wired from the Mayor of Moscow's wife to Hunter Biden and G&M only thinks the Ukraine millions to him are a conflict What happened to Russian Collusion?

Russia propaganda paid for by American tax payers. What a disgrace.

Fact: It was a conflict of interest And out of a scale of 1-10, it was a 4.5 Fact: The Trump Towers deal in Moscow was also a conflict of interest. And out of a scale of 1-10, it was a 9.5

It seems to me you are reporting propaganda. Remember Trump was impeached for his quid pro quo with Ukraine? Why don’t you report on Trump’s unwillingness to deal with the pandemic and the 200,000+ lives lost. The world should speak out about this.

Yawn.....now do Ivanka

😂 you think anyone is going to believe a republican report 😂

*Cough* Trump Children *cough*

I can't wait for Ivanka's take on all this from her position of power, appointed to her by her daddy the president, which her countless hours of designer shoe sales no doubt prepared her for.

The DNC and Biden are about as corrupt as politicians come.

Even 'alleges' is too strong a word for that empty report. 'insinuates', maybe.

All that needs to be said is Republican/ Russian led report...dismiss it as more lies....that’s all they know how to do.....they know they’re losing badly and they’re in panic mode....

Media holds water for specious claims

A conflict of interest?! The GOP is concerned about a conflict of interest? Hahahahaha irony is dead!
