House Republicans are set to probe President Joe Biden’s connections to foreign business partners under their new majority, James Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Sunday. The committee, renamed from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, will hold hearings on “Biden family influence peddling,” and will specifically look into the president’s role in Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, Republican Kentucky Rep. Comer said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I think any American who’s kept up with the political process over the past two administrations would agree. We need to know what is allowable and...

KABOOM – We now have proof that the Bidens were paid to have the prosecutor in Ukraine investigating Burisma fired. This was done, not because the prosecutor was corrupt but because the Bidens were paid to have him removed – the Bidens were corrupt. The email from Burisma leaders says the ultimate purpose of the Bidens’ work is to “close down for any cases/pursuits against Nikolay[Burisma] in Ukraine”: A few weeks after this email, Joe Biden went to the Ukraine and had the prosecutor of Burisma fired. The Bidens took money from Burisma to get rid of any cases involving...

Need a term that embraces the issues and easily rolls off the tongue.

Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared on “Good Morning America” on ABC-TV this week and anchor George Stephanopoulos asked him a simple question: “What did you know about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn and was there anything improper done?” “I know nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” Biden said before launching into a stumbling diatribe about how questions about the Obama administration’s targeting of Flynn – President Trump’s first national security adviser – are just a “diversion.” But Stephanopoulos – a former top aide to President Bill Clinton, with a background in Democratic politics – didn’t let...

The Obamagate scandal just got a lot worse. The list of names who were requested unmaskings that involved the Michael Flynn case has been released. Acting DNI Richard Grenell has suggested the list would be declassified and made public. He’s now delivered in stunning fashion.

The Senate cannot determine if Donald Trump's investigation of Bidengate was appropriate without investigating Bidengate. The basic facts imply Joe Biden's actions could have hampered the Obama administration’s effort to curb Ukraine’s endemic corruption. After Vice President Joe Biden began his investigation the oil & gas company Burisma Holdings hired his son Hunter Biden. Joe Biden admits he leveraged his White House position to have then Ukraine's leading prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired in March 2016, but claims it was because Shokin wasn’t doing enough. People in the prosecutor's office might have felt Vice President Joe Biden didn’t want them to...

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for records about the firing of Ukraine’s top prosecutor after then-Vice President Joe Biden threated to withhold aid. The lawsuit was filed yesterday against the U.S. Department of State ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:19-cv-02893)). The suit was filed after the State Department failed to respond to a May 7, 2019, FOIA request seeking access to the following records: 1. Any and all records regarding, concerning, or related to Viktor Shokin’s investigation of Mykola Zolchevsky and Shokin’s resignation at Ukraine’s...

The White House on Wednesday released a transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showing him seeking a review of Biden family dealings in the country – but the document does not show Trump leveraging military aid as part of a quid-pro-quo, as Democrats have suggested in pressing forward with impeachment. The transcript, declassified by Trump a day earlier, indicates the call – which Trump made from the White House residence -- took place July 25 from 9:03 a.m. to 9:33 a.m. It begins with the president congratulating Zelensky on his election victory, before Trump...

During the opening segment of his radio show, Levin explained that there was nothing wrong or illegal with the reported contents of the call [cut] “Why is this a big story?” Levin remarked about the phone call on air. “Because the Democrats and the media — one and the same — want it to be a big story. “Why else?” the host continued. “They’re trying to inoculate Joe Biden, Joe Biden and his son Hunter from a massive scandal involving the Ukraine.” What’s there to look into? Levin pointed to a lengthy April report from John Solomon at The Hill...

KIEV (Reuters) – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko on Saturday denied suggestions U.S. President Donald Trump had put pressure on Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy during a phone call in July. In an interview with media outlet Hromadske, Prystaiko said Ukraine was an independent state and would not take sides in U.S. politics even if “in theory” the country was in a position to do so. He added that Kiev appreciated the assistance it received from Washington. On Friday reports by U.S. media outlets said Trump repeatedly pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate Joe Biden, one of Trump’s chief political rivals, in...
