The Ukrainian gas firm where Hunter Biden was employed as a board member, Burisma Holdings, allegedly pressured the Obama administration to end corruption allegations against them during the 2016 election cycle, according to a report.

In February 2016, one month before former Vice President Joe Biden reportedly pressured Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin—the prosecutor investigating Burisma Holdings for corruption—a Burisma representative in the United States allegedly sought a meeting with Undersecretary of State Catherine A. Novelli to discuss the corruption allegations.
