“When tensions flared in Kiev and the Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in 2014, Biden took the White House lead as he did on most foreign policy issues (he travelled to Ukraine six times as vice president). At the time, as chance would have it and as Politico’s Ben Schreckinger has expertly detailed in his book The Bidens, Joe’s son Hunter, a drug addict with arguably no qualifications other than his surname, was on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma. The founder of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, was then under considerable suspicion for corruption (he has never been charged) – one State Department employee in Kiev called him a ‘poster child for corrupt behaviour.’
“In 2016, Biden’s brother James was also given a loan of $500,000 (£360,000) by a family friend called John Hynansky, a successful American entrepreneur with strong ties to his Ukrainian motherland. In 2011, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a US federal agency, had authorised up to $20 million (£14 million) to Hynansky’s Winner Automative Group to expand its dealerships selling snazzy cars in Ukraine.”
