Viktor Shokin:
On a January 23, 2019 phone call
between Shokin and Giuliani,
and others, Shokin said:
"He was appointed to the position of General Prosecutor of Ukraine from 2015 until April of 2016, when he was removed at the request of Mr. Joseph Biden the Vice President of the United States."
"He [Shokin] became involved in a case against Mr. Mykola Zlochevsky the former Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine.
The case was opened as a result of Mr. Zlochevsky giving himself/company permits to drill for gas and oil in Ukraine.
Mr. Zlochevsky is also the owner of Burisma Holdings."
"Mr. Shokin stated that there are documents that list five (5) criminal cases in which Mr. Zlochevesky is listed, with the main case being for issuing illegal gas exploration permits.
The following complaints
are in the criminal case.
Burisma's Mr. Zlochevsky was:
-- Laundering money
-- Obtained assets by
corrupt acts bribery
-- Removed approximately
twenty three million
US dollars out of
Ukraine without permission
-- While seated as Energy Minister,
approved two addition entities
to receive permits for gas exploration
-- Was the owner of two
secret companies that were
part of Burisma Holdings
and gave those companies
permits, which made it possible
for him to profit while he was
the sitting Energy Minister.
"Mr Shokin further stated that
there were several Burisma
board appointments were made
in 2014 as follows:
Hunter Biden
son of Vice President Joseph Biden
Joseph Blade
former US CIA employee
assigned to Anti-Terrorist Unit
Alesksander Kwasnieski
former President of Poland
Devon Archer,
roommate to the Christopher Heinz
the step-son of Mr. John Kerry
United States Secretary of State
"Mr. Shokin stated that these
appointments were made
by Mr. Slochevsky in order
to protect himself."
Shokin had said in July 2015:
"US Ambassador Geoffrey R. Pyatt told him that the investigation has to be handled with white gloves, which according to Mr. Shokin, that implied do nothing.
"Mr. Shokin further stated that on February of 2016 warrants were placed on the accounts of multiple people in Ukraine.
There were requests for information on Hunter Biden to which nothing was received."
"It is believed that Hunter Biden receives a salary, commission plus one million dollars."
"President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko [who Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees] told Mr. Shokin not to investigate Burisma as it was not in the interest of Joe and/or Hunter Biden.
Mr. Shokin was called into Mr. Poroshenko's office and told that the investigation into Burisma and the Managing Director where Hunter Biden is on the board, has caused Joe Biden to hold up one billion dollars in US aid to Ukraine.
"Mr. Shokin stated that on or around April of 2016 Mr. Petro Poroshenko called him and told him he had to be fired as the aid to the Ukraine was being withheld by Joe Biden.
Mr. Shokin was dismissed in April of 2016 and the US aid was delivered within one and one half months."
"Mr. Shokin believes the current Ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch denied his visa to travel to the US. Mr. Shokin stated that she is close to Mr. Biden.
Lutsenko
"went on to say that he began looking at the same case Mr. Shokin was looking at (mentioned above) and he believes Hunter Biden receives millions of dollars in compensation from Burisma.
He produced a document from Latvia that showed several million dollars that were distributed out of Burisma's account.
The record showed two

"Mr Lutsenko stated that there was also a payment of $900,000 to Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC for consulting fees.
Hunter Biden is a partner in Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC along with Devon Archer and the dates of this transaction are approximately anywhere from January to December 2015.
