EMAILS SHOW OBAMA OFFICIALS SHOCKED BY BIDEN’S ‘AUDIBLE:’ An internal State Department email thread reviewed by The Epoch Times reveals officials there and in the White House National Security Council (NSC) were taken by surprise when they learned that then-Vice-President Joe Biden had told Ukraine its receipt of $1 billion in U.S. backed loans was dependent on them firing Special Prosecutor Victor Shokin.

That’s important because it adds to the steadily mounting evidence of the senior Biden using public office to benefit his family’s business interests managed by his son, Hunter. Even Biden’s briefing materials for the Ukraine visit instructed him to sign the loan agreement with no mention of firing Shokin, but he did it anyway.

It just happened that Biden family members were in business together with certain corrupt Ukrainian officials being investigated by Shokin. Those same corrupt officials three days before Biden arrived in Ukraine begged Hunter Biden to do something about Shokin. And why not, since the Biden businesses were getting millions of dollars from those same corrupt officials? In other words, “Bidenomics” equals influence peddling?
