A Republican top has torn up a “scathing” photo of Biden with an Air Force Two aide linked to Hunter as they flew to Ukraine to demand that prosecutors drop the Burisma Holdings investigation.
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik denounced the then-Vice President’s photo with Amos Hochstein, Biden’s current special presidential coordinator, taken on Dec. 6, 2015.
Hochstein reportedly interacted with Hunter’s associates at Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings when the first son was on the company’s board.
Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in US aid if they did not fire their top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.
Three months after the trip to Ukraine in December 2015, he was indeed fired.
A top Republican has ripped up this ‘scathing’ photo of Biden with a Hunter-affiliated Air Force Two aide as they flew to Ukraine to demand prosecutors drop the December 2015 investigation into Burisma Holdings
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik denounced the then-Vice President’s photo with Amos Hochstein, Biden’s current special presidential coordinator, taken on Dec. 6, 2015.
The image shows Hochstein briefing Biden. According to Stefanik, this shows that “not only was the Biden administration aware of Hunter Biden’s corrupt foreign affairs, but that Joe Biden was heavily involved.”
said Stefanik Fox News digital in a statement: “This scathing photo of then-Vice President Joe Biden on Air Force Two en route to Ukraine talking to Amos Hochstein is just further evidence that Biden and senior officials in the Biden administration knew not only of Hunter Biden’s corrupt foreign business dealings, but also that Joe Biden was heavily involved when he was vice president.
“At the time of this photo, Hochstein was in contact with Hunter Biden and Burisma, where Hunter was on the board.
We also know that this photo was taken by Air Force Two prior to Joe Biden’s now infamous meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, where Biden threatened to withhold help if a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma was not found. dismissed.
All evidence points directly to Joe Biden being deeply compromised.
“House Republicans will leave no stone unturned in our investigation into Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence scheme.”
When Hochstein met Hunter for coffee on Nov. 6, 2015, he “didn’t go so far as to recommend Hunter leave the board,” the report claims.
According to a Senate Republican report released in 2020, in October 2015 Hochstein expressed concern to Biden and Hunter that Hunter’s position on the Burisma board was enabling Russian disinformation efforts.
He said Biden’s involvement threatened to undermine US policy in Ukraine.
This wasn’t the only time Hochstein allegedly warned Biden about Hunter’s position.
According to Victoria Nuland, who was Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs in 2015, it was mentioned in the conversation pictured on the plane en route to Ukraine.
Hochstein also told Congress in the 2020 report, “We started thinking about a trip to Ukraine, and I wanted to make sure he was aware that there was more chatter on media outlets near Russians and corrupt media owned by oligarchs. outlets about undermining his message — to try to undermine his[Vice President Biden]’s message and include Hunter Biden as part of Burisma’s board.”
When Hochstein met Hunter for coffee on Nov. 6, 2015, he “didn’t go so far as to recommend Hunter leave the board,” the report claims.
When Shokin was fired and Biden bragged on camera in 2018 about his apt diplomacy.
This comes after a long-awaited internal FBI document — obtained by DailyMail.com — contained bombshell claims that Joe Biden and his son Hunter forced a Ukrainian oil executive to pay them $10 million in exchange for the influence of the then vice president upon getting a senior prosecutor fired.
According to the blockbuster FD-1023 form – part of which has been redacted – between 2015 and 2016 the Confidential Human Source (CHS) met with the senior Burisma executives
According to a conversation between a confidential source and Burisma CFO Vadim Pojarski in 2015, Hunter Biden was hired on the company’s board of directors to “protect us, through his father, from all kinds of trouble.”
Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told the source, “It costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden.”
Zlochevsky added that while Hunter was “stupid” and his (Zlochevsky’s) dog was smarter, he was needed on the board “so that everything works out.”
According to the blockbuster FD-1023 form – part of which has been redacted – between 2015 and 2016 the Confidential Human Source (CHS) met with the senior Burisma executives.
Burisma wanted to spend up to $30 million on a US-based oil and gas company. At the time, however, it was also the subject of a criminal investigation by Ukrainian Attorney General Viktor Shokin, which the company knew would have “a substantial negative impact on Burisma’s future IPO in the United States.”
When asked about the investigation, the form states Zlochevsky replied, “Don’t worry, Hunter is handling all these issues through his father.”
Later, then-Vice President Joe Biden made a public statement that Shokin was “corrupt and that he should be fired/removed from office.”
DailyMail.com previously reported that the 17 audio recordings of phone calls — two of Joe Biden and 15 of Hunter Biden — were kept as an “insurance policy.”
The FBI FD-1023 form was created on June 30, 2020 from information provided by a highly paid informant and brought to the attention of Republicans by a whistleblower.
Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, obtained and published the document after months of back and forth between the summit
and the FBI through “legally protected disclosures” by Department of Justice (DOJ) whistleblowers.
The document contains limited redactions to protect the confidential human source, handling agents, names of DOJ whistleblowers and references to connect ongoing investigations, a Senate aide said.
The Republicans expressed their continued commitment to expose the truth about Biden’s family business.
White House Oversight and Investigation spokesman Ian Sams fired back after the release of the FD-1023, accusing Republicans of going after “debunked” claims.

“It is clear that Republicans in Congress are determined to play shameless, dishonest politics and refuse to let the truth get in the way,” he said in a statement.
The FBI said in a statement to DailyMail.com that through the agency’s “engagement” with Congress, they have been working to protect the security of their confidential sources, which Republicans have violated by making the document public.
“Today’s release of the 1023 – at the very least – unnecessarily compromises the security of a confidential source,” an FBI spokesperson said.
In addition, Joe Biden was dubbed the “Big Guy” by Burisma’s executive, who allegedly paid him a $5 million bribe and kept 17 audio recordings of phone calls as an “insurance policy,” DailyMail.com learned.
According to a “highly credible” whistleblower, an internal FD-1023 memo prepared in 2020 based on information from a highly paid FBI informant apparently describes a $5 million “arrangement” for an exchange of money for policy decisions between the then Vice President Joe Biden and a foreigner.
A well-known source confirmed to DailyMail.com that the foreigner – a director of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings Limited – called Joe Biden the “Big Guy” according to the 1023 form.
