Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley just released their 87-page preliminary report on Hunter Biden and his financial dealings with Russia, Ukraine and China:

And, BAM:
From the Executive Summary: "In addition to the over $4 million paid by Burisma for Hunter Biden’s and Archer’s board memberships, Hunter Biden, his family, and Archer received millions of dollars from foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds." https://t.co/ipzcEvGawT

This certainly will make Tuesday’s debate interesting:
Days before the first debate, Grassley and Johnson release an 87-page report this morning targeting Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine

The report’s central finding confirms what we already suspected: “Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma ‘was problematic’ + ‘did interfere’ with the execution of Obama-era Ukraine policy”:

And:
“…this investigation has illustrated the extent to which officials within the Obama administration ignored the glaring warning signs when the VP’s son joined the board of a company owned by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch + as will be discussed in later sections, Hunter Biden was

The report also says Hunter Biden’s company received $3.5 million from a Russian billionaire:

And the report documented his ties to Chinese officials:
"Hunter Biden had business associations with Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals linked to the Communist government and the People’s Liberation Army. Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in cash flow." https://t.co/MKDRql3kPc

Maybe John Kerry would like to update his previous statements?
“Former Secretary of State John Kerry had knowledge of Hunter Biden’s role on Burisma’s board, but when asked about it at a town hall event in Nashua, N.H. on Dec. 8, 2019, Kerry falsely said, ‘I had no knowledge about any of that. None. No.’”https://t.co/AgBXAH3GdS

The Obama administration knew this was an issue so it shouldn’t be surprising that it’s come up during the election:

But. . .
A lot of the report cites information from the New Yorker article we’ve posted about before:
