Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin claimed that then-Vice President Joe Biden pressured his government to fire him due to his investigation into Ukrainian oil company Burisma.
In an interview with Fox News's Brian Kilmeade set to air on Saturday, Shokin said he believes he was fired due to investigating Burisma, whose board Hunter Biden served on.The former vice president pressured then-President Petro Poroshenko to fire him, as further investigation would allegedly"have found the facts about the corrupt activities that they were engaging in," Shokin said.
"[Poroshenko] understood and so did Vice President Biden that had I continued to oversee the Burisma investigation, we would have found the facts about the corrupt activities that they were engaging in. That included both Hunter Biden and Devon Archer and others," he added.
