WASHINGTON — The Senate dove back into its election-year investigation of the Biden family Wednesday as a committee voted on party lines to subpoena a consulting firm for the Ukrainian energy company where Hunter Biden served on the board.

The firm, Blue Star Strategies, worked for Burisma, the company that President Trump tried to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate while Trump held up foreign aid to the at-war nation.

"We need to get to the truth about the Bidens' relationship with Burisma, and these hearings will provide the Senate with the full picture," Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said before the vote.

Trump and his defenders insist there is a nefarious connection between Hunter Biden and Burisma, and that Joe Biden got a Ukrainian prosecutor fired to stop a probe into the company. Biden did lean on Ukraine to remove the prosecutor, but it was at the behest of the Obama administration and European allies who regarded the official as corrupt.

No evidence has suggested Joe Biden did anything other than carry out U.S. policy, although Trump and his allies have pointed to Hunter Biden's lucrative board fees to suggest impropriety.
