A new ad released by the DeSantis campaign goes after Joe and Hunter Biden for their alleged bribery schemes in connection to Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
“For years, the Biden crime family cashed in on Joe’s influence and power, especially in Ukraine where Hunter and Joe secretly received millions of dollars in bribes from the gas company Burisma,” the ad begins. “And when a Ukrainian prosecutor tried to investigate Burisma’s corruption, Biden bribed Ukraine’s president to fire the prosecutor.”
“When Trump tried to get to the bottom of it, Democrats impeached him and the FBI hid Hunter’s laptop, burying the damning evidence it contained. Now, we know Biden is hoarding classified documents,” the ad says. “And Biden’s DOJ? They don’t care. Is Biden hiding the evidence of his get-rich-quick scheme?”
Watch the video above.
From The Daily Wire:
The prosecutor was Ukraine’s former prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who Biden, as U.S. vice president, had a hand in ousting in 2016. Shokin was under suspicion of corruption and widely mistrusted internationally. He was also pushing an investigation into Burisma while Hunter Biden sat on the company’s board.
Then-Vice President Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees from then-Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko unless Shokin was fired.
