Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) requested records from the State Department on Thursday related to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s efforts to oust a Ukrainian prosecutor in 2016.

The letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo comes as Republicans seek to train scrutiny on Biden’s actions in Ukraine amid impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump over his own efforts to pressure Ukraine’s government to investigate his would-be rival for the White House.



Graham is seeking records related to phone calls that occurred in February and March 2016 between Biden and Ukraine’s then-president, Petro Poroshenko, regarding U.S. demands that the country fire its top prosecutor. The prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was unpopular with Western leaders, who viewed him as corrupt, and Biden was representing official U.S. policy and that of allied governments.

At the time, Biden’s son Hunter held a lucrative board position with Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company. Burisma, and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, had faced investigative scrutiny from Shokin’s office, presenting a potential conflict of interest for Biden. ...............................

State Department refusing to turn over 'significant' information for impeachment inquiry: U.S. House Democrats

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives impeachment investigation said on Wednesday that the State Department refused to comply with a subpoena for documents that they now know are key to their probe into whether President Donald Trump should be removed from office.

Adam Schiff, chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Eliot Engel, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and Carolyn Maloney, acting chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, said in a letter to Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan that they consider “the refusal to comply with a duly authorized congressional subpoena as obstruction of the lawful functions of Congress and of the impeachment inquiry.”

Their committees “have gathered evidence about the direct relevance of these documents, including highly significant information contained in these materials that pertain to allegations that the President abused the power of his office for personal political benefit.”

By not producing the documents, which included memoranda on efforts to intimidate employees, as well as communications on Trump’s request to Ukraine to conduct political investigations, the Department “indicates that these documents support the allegations against the President and others,” they also wrote.
