Hunter Biden served on the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Donald Trump and other Republicans are wondering if this has created a conflict of interest.

In May, the Ukrainian attorney general said that nothing illegal was found in the actions of Joe Biden and his son.

Hunter Biden joined the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings in 2014, shortly after his father's visit to Ukraine. Then the White House said that there was nothing inappropriate. A statement posted on the company’s website said Hunter Biden would provide assistance in matters of transparency, building corporate relations and responsibility, and expanding international activities.

Earlier, Joe Biden boasted that, in March of 2016, as US Vice President, he threatened that the Barack Obama administration would deprive Ukraine of the promised loan guarantees for 1 billion dollars if Attorney General Viktor Shokin, who was criticized for insufficient efforts to fight corruption will not be fired immediately.

Victor Shokin from 2016 of the year spent a large-scale anti-corruption investigation into Burisma Holdings, and in particular, as reported by American media, the activities of Hunter Biden.

Soon after this, Shokin resigned as prosecutor general. As reported, at the time of his dismissal, no active investigative actions were carried out in this case.

In August of this year, Rudi Giuliani told the American media that he urgently She urged a representative of the Ukrainian president to take a closer look at the allegations that Joe Biden was trying to help his son’s business interests in Ukraine.

Giuliani noted that he acted in this matter as an ordinary citizen, and not as an official.

Also, it was reported that the president’s attorney wanted to find out exactly how the investigation of special prosecutor Robert Mueller about the alleged interference of Russia in the US election began.
