Biden Governance Allegedly Withheld Intelligence Regarding Ukrainian Official Concerns About Hunter Biden’s Business Ties
WASHINGTON – The Biden administration reportedly blocked the dissemination of intelligence in 2023 detailing concerns raised by Ukrainian officials about potential corrupt business dealings involving Hunter Biden and his family, according to a fox News report citing sources familiar with the matter. The intelligence reportedly stemmed from a CIA document originating in 2015, raising questions about the timing of the alleged suppression and its potential impact on U.S. policy toward Ukraine.
The concerns center around Mykola Zlochevsky, a former Ukrainian goverment official who served as Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources from 2010 to 2012, and the natural gas company Burisma, where Hunter Biden held a board position from 2014 to 2019. Ukrainian officials allegedly feared that Zlochevsky, while under inquiry, wielded influence over then-Vice President Joe Biden through his son’s position, potentially hindering efforts to combat corruption within Ukraine. The newly surfaced intelligence reportedly details these specific anxieties.
According to Fox News, the CIA uncovered the document in 2015, but its wider distribution was allegedly delayed by the Biden administration. Sources claim the decision to withhold the intelligence was made to protect the Biden family from political fallout. The report further alleges that officials within the FBI were also hesitant to investigate the matter fully.
The timing of these allegations coincides with ongoing scrutiny of Hunter Biden’s business activities and their potential influence on his father’s political decisions. Republicans in Congress have been investigating the Biden family’s financial dealings, and this new data is likely to fuel further investigations and calls for greater transparency.
The CIA has not publicly commented on the report. The White House has also not issued a statement addressing the specific allegations. Though, the emergence of this intelligence raises critical questions about the integrity of U.S. foreign policy and the potential for conflicts of interest at the highest levels of government.
