The former prosecutor at the heart of the Ukraine controversy was pressured to drop a probe into a gas company linked to former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, according to notes from a private conversation he had with presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
According to Giuliani’s notes, which were obtained by Fox News, Ukrainian ex-prosecutor Viktor Shokin told Giuliani in a Jan. 23 phone call that his “investigations stopped out of fear of the United States,” after a top diplomat asked that Shokin probe Burisma Holdings with “kid gloves.”
