'The fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in U.S. money in exchange for my dismissal...isn't that alone a case of corruption?' Viktor Shokin asked.
State Department officials, anti-corruption activists and European diplomats have all disputed Shokin's claims, arguing that he was fired because of his failure to prosecute Ukrainian politicians for corruption. Shokin's former deputy, Vitaliy Kasko, also previously stated that while there was once an active investigation into Burisma, it was dormant at the time that Biden joined calls for Shokin's removal during his time as vice president.
The Justice Department under the Trump administration also investigated allegations about whether or not Biden was bribed and found claims like Shokin's to be"not supported by the facts." Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin holds a press conference in Kiev on the situation in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, on November 2, 2015.Shokin's comments seem to refer to the president's own remarks, during which he took credit for Shokin's firing.during a talk at the Council of Foreign Relations"I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
"I said, nah, I'm not going to—or, we're not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You're not the president...I said, call him," Biden continued."I looked at them and said: I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. Well, son of a b****. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
