Viktor Shokin on Joe Biden

Burisma Prosecutor Viktor Shokin Breaks His Silence

Viktor Shokin, the former top prosecutor for Ukraine who was fired under pressure from then-Vice President Joe Biden, has finally spoken out, posting a video on Thursday that rebuts allegations of corruption in his office and why he believed Biden sought to end his investigation into Burisma.

Sitting in front of the camera, Shokin calmly explained the need for his corruption investigation following the surprise lifting of a seizure he had made of $23 million belonging to Burisma following the company’s move to bring Hunter Biden and associate Devon Archer into the fold.

“Biden was acting in his own interests, not the interests of the American people,” he said. “That is the explanation, in my opinion.”
