KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.
Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, "describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr." at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine's press center in Kyiv on Wednesday.
"This was the transfer of Burisma Group's funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services," Derkach said.
He also publicized sums that were transferred to Burisma Group representatives, in particular Hunter Biden, a son of the former U.S. vice president.
"Using political and economic levelers of influencing Ukrainian authorities and manipulating the issue of providing financial aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden actively assisted closing criminal cases into the activity of former Ukrainian Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevsky, who is the founder and owner of Burisma Group," he said.

If this gets confirmation, stick a fork in Gropin’ Joe. Once again, Trump’s instincts appear to be spot-on. Seems like Ol’ Joe used his son as a conduit to launder money through the Ukraine. I wonder how much of the $900,000 came from the U.S. aid he threatened to withhold.
“Well, as the Wizard of Oz once said, “That’s a horse of a different color”.”
Respectfully, it was the gate-keeper who said that.
(I was a big fan as a child)
This audio talks about Manifort as well.

Yes, this story is suspicious
Absolutely right. It was the gatekeeper and not the Wizard that introduced the sequence with the horse-of-a-different color since they were getting ready to meet the Wizard at the time.
I’m real skeptical that this story can hold up. Joe Biden may be corrupt but I don’t see how he would have been able to avoid having a transfer of $900,000 hidden from either the IRS or US Banking officials. John Soloman has a pretty good trove of bank records on Burisma and this doesn’t show up anywhere. Also, Interfax Ukraine is actually a Russian organization and I don’t trust anything that comes out of this part of the world at this point.
Right. Deliberately omitted from article. And the only reference I can find. It also says it was for “lobbying” for a foreign country which is the crime Paul Manafort is sitting in solitary confinement for the next 30 years.
Hopefully it grows legs, because DBM will simply ignore
At least is is not coming from Debka
I am reminded of the movie Running Man, when they pulled Jessie Ventura out of retirement to take on Arnold.
I meant Joe Biden.
“”’What did Burisma get for $900,000.00?””
That is the billion dollar question inquiry minds want to know
The US government sent billions to a bank in the Ukraine in the form of aid and such. Most of the money just disappeared. I am guessing that is where the funds mentioned in this article came from. Right from the US taxpayer.
Well, well, well......
Should be interesting to see the reaction of the left to this.
They have been raising holy hell over even the thought that Trump was influenced by Russia to win the elections and now the Bidens are caught in this.
What a great opportunity to gloat and point out their hypocrisy to democrats.
That’s only for regular people.
Elites needn’t bother with such trifles.
BUMP!!!
Yes. And how many payoffs did he get that we don’t know about? He was a Senator for a long time.
The President should tweet about it. Then people will pay attention.
Pure speculation here. Remember the pallets of cash that went to Iran? Does anyone here doubt that some of that cash made its way back to Obama and other Dems in some untraceable way? Maybe this was Biden’s cut of an even bigger payoff, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.
Let’s see Bidens tax returns
Rudy said he saw checks of laundered money when on Ingrahams show a while back.
I think Trump has real hard evidence on this sham. The democrats need to find a fall guy instead of focusing on impeaching trump to stop it because the evidence is already known.
