Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin denied allegations of corruption against him, dismissing them as baseless.
In an interview with Fox News's Brian Kilmeade that aired on Saturday, Shokin claimed that he was fired in 2016 under pressure from then-Vice President Joe Biden due to his investigation of Burisma, which Hunter Biden served on the board of. However, Shokin has been accused of corruption by a variety of media outlets, international watchdogs, and even fellow Ukrainian prosecutors, who claim that was the true cause for Shokin's dismissal.
Kilmeade then followed up by asking why Shokin hadn't sued the outlets for defamation if the allegations were untrue. He also stated that during his tenure,"There were no complaints whatsoever and no problems with how I was performing at my job." "For years, these false claims have been debunked, and no matter how much air time Fox gives them, they will remain false," White House spokesman Ian Sams said in a statement."Fox is giving a platform for these lies to a former Ukrainian prosecutor general whose office his own deputy called ‘a hotbed of corruption,’ drawing demands for reform not only from then-Vice President Biden but also from U.S. diplomats, international partners, and Republican senators like Ron Johnson.
