'It is a good time to revisit what some fact-checkers first said about the Biden family business when the story first became prominent in 2019.' -L0neStarTrooper

Now that Hunter Biden's business partner Devon Archer has reportedly told Congress that the first son put then-Vice President Joe Biden on the phone with businessmen across the globe at least 20 times, it is a good time to revisit what some fact-checkers first said about the Biden family business when the story first became prominent in 2019.

In reality, the investigation was dormant, not closed at the time. The prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, reportedly told Rudy Giuliani that he paused the investigation “out of fear of the United States.” According to a credible FBI informant, a Burisma executive knew that his company was guilty of corruption and said he had paid Joe and Hunter Biden to resolve the situation. The senior Biden then withheld funds from Ukraine with the explicit intent of pressuring the country to fire Shokin.

“False: Hunter Biden made a killing on a Chinese deal,” the Washington Post’s article blared. I suppose that’s correct in the sense that it wasn’t one Chinese deal. There were several, including ones with entities tied to the Chinese government, according to bank records. Later on, Hunter Biden’s emails revealed him bragging that his “last name” helped him secure the deal.
