The Republican chairs of two Senate committees have asked the Justice Department (DOJ) if it has received or has been offered documents from the government of Ukraine that reportedly conflict with the narrative presented by former Vice President Joe Biden regarding his pressuring Ukraine to fire a prosecutor probing a firm that was paying his son.
Biden has maintained that his threat in 2016 to cancel $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees unless the prosecutor was fired had nothing to do with the investigation into Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was paying Hunter Biden as a board member.
