Ukraine must investigate Joe Biden’s son over legality of role in gas company, says ex-Ukrainian prime minister Mykola Azarov
- Hunter Biden’s role in focus after the White House published a memo showing Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to get prosecutors to look into his activities
Ukraine must investigate the activities of US presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son to establish whether his role in a Ukrainian gas company complied with the country’s laws, Mykola Azarov, Ukraine’s former prime minister, said in an interview.
Azarov did not specify to which Ukrainian laws he was referring.
Hunter Biden’s role in the company, Burisma Holdings Limited, is in focus after the White House published a memo showing US President Donald Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, in a July phone call to get prosecutors to look into his activities. Zelensky agreed.
“It’s a fact (his directorship and fees) and not made up. It should be investigated so that the ‘i’s can be dotted and the ‘t’s crossed,” Azarov told Reuters.
A spokesperson for Joe Biden’s campaign declined to comment on Azarov’s investigation call and none of Hunter Biden’s critics have provided any evidence that he broke Ukrainian law.
