Two Republican senators on Nov. 6 requested documents and answers from the State Department related to the department’s interactions with Hunter Biden potentially related to his paid position on the board of a Ukrainian gas firm at the time his father, Joe Biden, served as the vice president of the United States.
The Nov. 6 letter by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) references documents made public two days prior as the result of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. The records revealed emails and meetings featuring top State Department officials; Hunter Biden; his business partner, Devon Archer; and a U.S. representative for Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian gas firm which paid Biden to sit on its board of directors.
