Republicans Threaten White House For Stonewalling Release Of Speech Drafts Key To Biden Family Corruption Investigation

House investigators threatened this week to use “compulsory” methods against the White House, which has, for five months, refused to permit the release of drafts of President Joe Biden’s 2015 anti-corruption speech in Ukraine. The speech drafts are key to Republicans who have named the firing of the Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin for investigating Burisma, the energy company paying Hunter Biden millions, as evidence of the first family’s international influence peddling scheme.

The House Committees on Oversight and Accountability, Judiciary, and Ways and
Means sent a letter to White House Counsel Edward Siskel on Wednesday demanding that he rubberstamp the National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) release of Biden’s draft calls for the end of corruption to the Ukrainian Rada.

The Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, requested NARA hand over “all drafts” of Biden’s 2015 in August to reinforce their investigation into Biden family corruption. The demand, which the committees noted Comer was well within federal law to make, came shortly after Biden associate Devon Archer admitted the then-VP spoke with his son’s foreign business partners.

There is already “overwhelming evidence”  — including Shokin’s corroboration — that Biden leveraged his authority in the Obama administration to orchestrate the prosecutor’s removal to benefit the company paying his son.

In 2018, Biden bragged that Shokin was canned because he used his vice presidential powers to threaten to withhold a billion dollars in U.S. loans from Petro Poroshenko, the then-president of Ukraine.
