House investigators have asked Secretary of State Antony Blinken to turn over information on “sudden foreign policy decisions” by then-Vice President Joe Biden related to the firing of Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
In a letter sent Tuesday to Mr. Blinken, House lawmakers lay out a timeline of events that suggests Mr. Biden turned against Mr. Shokin after his son took a $1 million annual salary on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, which Mr. Shokin was investigating.
Mr. Comer’s letter was sent as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced plans to launch an impeachment inquiry into Mr. Biden over allegations of influence peddling related to his son’s foreign business deals, including his role on the Burisma board and the firing of Mr. Shokin. Weeks later, the removal of Mr. Shokin “became a condition of the $1 billion loan guarantee,” Mr. Comer wrote.
