The 291-page report lays out intimately what have at occasions been murky allegations in opposition to the president.

A key query within the investigation has been, even when Hunter Biden and others monetized the “Biden model,” how a lot did the president actually know or take part?
“Witnesses acknowledged that Hunter Biden concerned Vice President Biden in a lot of his enterprise dealings with Russian, Romanian, Chinese language, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian people and corporations,” the report stated. “Then-Vice President Biden met or spoke with almost each one of many Biden household’s international enterprise associates, together with these from Ukraine, China, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

Then, months later, as Hunter Biden and his enterprise associates continued to solicit extra money from Baturina, Vice President Biden participated in a cellphone name with Baturina and Hunter Biden the place Vice President Biden instructed Baturina, “you be good to my boy.” Furthermore, President Biden knowingly participated on this conspiracy.
