Fired Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin says he believes Bidens were bribed
[NYP] WASHINGTON — Former Ukraine prosecutor general Viktor Shokin says in a new interview set to air Saturday night that he believes — but lacks direct evidence — that President Biden and his son Hunter received bribes in exchange for forcing him out of office in early 2016."I do not want to deal in unproven facts, but my firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case. They were being bribed," Shokin told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade in an excerpt of the interview released Friday. "And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in US money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing, isn’t that alone a case of corruption?" added the former top law enforcement officer in Kyiv. Shokin is a central figure in the controversy over alleged Biden family influence-peddling, which could morph into a House impeachment inquiry as early as next month. The former prosecutor is rarely seen in Western media and his perceived credibility — or lack thereof — could dramatically shape efforts to impeach and remove the president from office.
