Lawyers for Lunden Alexis Roberts instructed him to bring "all exhibits" he plans to use in his defense when shows up Dec. 23. A related court filing lists 47 "requests for admission" of evidence related to Biden’s education, employment, finances and taxes.

Nine specifically seek the amount of his "monthly compensation as a board member for Burisma." Biden ‐ son of former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic front-runner to challenge Trump next year ‐ was reportedly paid $50,000 a month by Burisma. In an October interview with ABC News, Biden declined to discuss his finances. "Look, I’m a private citizen," he said. "One thing that I don’t have to do is sit here and open my kimono as it relates to how much money I make or make or did or didn’t. But it’s all been reported." Biden’s lawyers didn’t immediately return a request for comment. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-12-15 |
