The Department of Justice began investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings earlier this year after receiving information from President Donald Trump’s attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, according to a new report.

Hunter Biden, the youngest son of former Vice President Joe Biden, ditched his Secret Service protection in 2014 shortly after Time magazine published an article highlighting his financial ties to Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas conglomerate.

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed in December that he was never told his son’s business dealings in Ukraine posed a conflict of interest. He also said last September that he had never spoken to his son about his business dealings.
A new report suggests both of those claims may be false.

The Obama administration allowed then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter to continue working at Ukrainian gas firm Burisma, even after U.S. officials established “strong” evidence suggesting that the company had engaged in corrupt activities in 2014.

A State Department official who testified in the House impeachment hearings is being promoted, evidence that Trump is not blocking it.

Former Vice President Joe Biden blamed his staff for failing to warn him about the potential conflict of interest possed by his son, Hunter Biden, by serving on the board of directors of Ukraine energy giant Burisma Holdings while serving as vice president in a Friday interview with NPR.

The timeline of events surrounding Hunter Biden’s appointment to the board of Burisma Holdings undercuts Joe Biden’s newest defense about not being made aware his son’s overseas dealings could pose a conflict of interest.

The Obama administration was fully aware of the conflict of interest posed by Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, taking a board position with Ukrainian gas firm Burisma — and consistently ducked questions about it.

None of the Democrat-called witnesses testifying before the House Intelligence Committee as part of a series of “impeachment inquiry” hearings have been able to identify any impeachable offenses or crimes committed by President Donald Trump, noted Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), in a Thursday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

Another star witness of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry admitted on Wednesday that Hunter Biden’s wheeling and dealing in Ukraine had the appearance of a conflict of interest for his father.

A plurality of independents are tuning out the impeachment hearings, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Democrats failed to present the public with any evidence that President Donald Trump should be impeached in their first round of public hearings this week, White House Senior Advisor for Strategy Tony Sayegh told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Saturday.

Yovanovitch dodged direct questions about whether she thought former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden serving on the board of the corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma was wrong or corrupt. 

Donald Trump Jr. responded to George Conway’s direct critique during Friday’s public impeachment hearing, calling him out for “routinely” embarrassing his wife for personal gain and slamming him as a “disgrace.”

U.S. diplomat Bill Taylor admitted in the impeachment inquiry that “he has no reason to doubt” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s repeated denials that there was pressure, conditions, or blackmail.

Joe Biden’s campaign is attempting to spin the narrative around his son’s work in Ukraine with a hastily created website as the House Democrat’s impeachment inquiry continues to heat up.

Democrat Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) defended “hearsay” evidence during the first public hearing of the impeachment inquiry on Wednesday.

Democrats are hoping that testimony from the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch on Friday will draw sympathy.

President Donald Trump did not have much time to watch the impeachment hearings on Wednesday, but he did share one of his favorite moments on Thursday, after catching up on the news.

Ukraine was unaware of the American military hold on aid, suggesting a quid pro quo at the center of the probe against Trump would have been impossible at the time.

House Democrats’ first impeachment inquiry public hearing was widely panned as the two career diplomats who testified failed to offer clear allegations of wrongdoing against Trump, and Democrats running the show found themselves on defense in response to the Republicans in the minority who were aggressive and effective in pushing their counter-narrative.

“I hear it’s a joke,” Trump said. “I haven’t watched for one minute because I’ve been with the president which is far more important as far as I’m concerned.”

Neither acting United States Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor nor Assistant Secretary in the European and Eurasian Bureau George Kent answered Representative John Ratcliffe (R-TX)’s direct question about what was “impeachable” about President Donald Trump’s routine phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump backfired on congressional Democrats Wednesday, when a star witness inadvertently made the case that Hunter Biden’s wheeling and dealing in Ukraine should be investigated.

WASHINGTON, DC — Top State Department official George Kent told the House impeachment investigators Wednesday that some U.S. officials, including himself, pushed for reopening a “scuttled investigation” into the owner of Ukrainian company Burisma Holdings, which hired then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter in 2014.

Democrats opened public impeachment hearings on Wednesday promising to dramatically detail the case for the president’s impeachment, but there was little excitement in the first 93 minutes.

House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) slammed Democrats for an obvious reprise of the Trump-Russia hoax during his opening statement in the first public impeachment hearing Wednesday morning.

Democrats are moving into the public phase of their impeachment inquiry, beginning with the testimonies Bill Taylor and George Kent.

The House Intelligence Committee is holding its inaugural public hearing of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Congressional investigators will hear testimony from Acting Ambassador. William Taylor, Chargé d’affairs at the U.S. embassy in Ukraine, and George Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the European and Eurasian Bureau at the State Department.

The second witness in the first public “impeachment inquiry” hearing to be called to testify Wednesday by House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) will be George Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the European and Eurasian Bureau at the State Department.

Democrats have designed the first hour of the impeachment hearing to “be a blockbuster” — if that is all Americans watch.

GOPs have outlined in a memo ahead of public impeachment hearings four key pieces of evidence they believe undermine Democrats’ assertion.

Schiff on Monday hailed the State Department officials who will testify this week in the impeachment inquiry as courageous and patriotic.

Democrats are shifting their rhetoric ahead of public impeachment hearings, from “quid pro quo” to “bribery” or “extortion.”
