A new report for The Hill by award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon presents details from “hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents,” many from inside the American team helping the company at the center of the Biden-Ukraine controversy, that “conflict” with Joe Biden’s claim that he pressured Ukraine to remove its top prosecutor because he was failing to weed out corruption, rather than the prosecutor’s investigation into the company paying Hunter Biden some $600,000 a year.

While Biden maintains that he only strong-armed Ukraine to replace its chief prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, because of allegations of his corruption and mishandling of his job — not because of Shokin’s investigation into Burisma Holdings, which hired Biden’s son just weeks after President Obama appointed Biden to oversee U.S.-Ukraine relations — Solomon found that previously undisclosed documents “conflict with Biden’s narrative.”
