New York Times Reporter On Burisma Scandal: Joe Biden’s VP Position, Ukraine Activities Gave Burisma Its ‘Rationale’ To Put Hunter Biden On Its Board

New York Times reporter Kenneth Vogel said on the newspaper’s podcast on Wednesday that Ukrainian gas company Burisma got its “rationale” to put then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, on its board because of Joe Biden’s position in the U.S. government and his activities in Ukraine.

Allegations surrounding Joe and Hunter Biden’s ties in Ukraine and with Burisma have become a sore spot for Joe Biden as he runs for the Democratic nomination for president.
