For a year, Senate Republicans have teased a bombshell investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden that could rock the former vice presidents campaign for the White House.
But an interim report, issued by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) AKA Rojo the clown and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) less than six weeks before the presidential election and released publicly on Wednesday, is largely a compilation of previously public information some of it rehashed anew by witnesses who already testified during the Houses impeachment inquiry last year as well as news articles and strongly worded insinuations with little evidence to back them up.
The report, titled Hunter Biden, Burisma and Corruption, reprises these year-old claims and adds little new to a discussion first raised by President Donald Trumps defense team in his impeachment trial before the Senate earlier this year, when the president was acquitted by GOP senators on charges of abusing his power by seeking to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. The report does little to substantiate allegations against the Democratic presidential nominee, which have been fueled in part by foreign actors linked to the Kremlin whom U.S. officials have said are attempting to interfere in the 2020 election.
The report relies on vague assessments already revealed publicly namely, from top State Department official George Kent, who said Hunter Bidens role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company was very awkward for U.S. officials who were carrying out an anti-corruption policy in Ukraine. Kent made a similar remark during his impeachment testimony last fall.
