Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch confirmed in congressional testimony on Friday that she was prepped by the Obama administration about how to answer questions concerning Hunter Biden following her 2016 nomination to the post.
Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York pressed Yovanovitch on the subject of then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son’s lucrative position as a member of the board of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings during the impeachment inquiry hearing before the House Intelligence Committee.
Joe Biden was the Obama administration’s point man on Ukrainian policy.
“You testified that in this particular practice Q&A with the Obama State Department, it wasn’t just generally about Burisma and corruption, it was specifically about Hunter Biden and Burisma. Is that correct?” Stefanik asked. “Yes, it is,” Yovanovitch replied.
In March 2016, two months before Yovanovitch was nominated to serve as U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine, Vice President Biden demanded during a visit to Kiev that a Ukrainian prosecutor overseeing an investigation of Burisma for corruption be fired.
By his own account, Biden made the deadline for the firing to be when he left the country in six hours, or Ukraine would lose $1 billion in U.S. aid. Advertisement - story continues below
“For the millions of Americans watching, President Obama’s own State Department was so concerned about potential conflicts of interest from Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma that they raised it themselves while prepping this wonderful ambassador nominee before her confirmation,” Stefanik said.
