Petro Poroshenko pushed back on Trump's unsupported claim that Biden pressured Ukraine to shut down a probe into a company connected to his son.
Former Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko said Joe Biden never asked him to close an investigation, challenging President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that Biden abused his power when he was vice president to protect his son.
Poroshenko, elected Ukraine’s leader in 2014, left office in May after Volodymyr Zelensky defeated him in the country’s presidential election. Trump has claimed that Biden, as vice president, called for the removal of a corrupt prosecutor in Ukraine to impede an investigation into a Ukrainian gas company that had Hunter Biden on its board. A bipartisan congressional caucus on Ukraine and other world leaders also were calling for the removal of the prosecutor at the time. Ukrainian authorities later cleared Hunter Biden of any wrongdoing.
Poroshenko told The Los Angeles Times this week that he felt no pressure from Trump or his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to open a questionable investigation into Biden.
