The business arrangement, which netted Hunter\u2019s law firm more than $750,000 in 2016, created \u201ccriminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion concerns,\u201d according to a report <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/09\/23\/hunter-biden-senate-report-ukraine-china-burisma\/\">published<\/a> in September 2020 by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. The report also alleged that Obama administration officials worried that the job \u201cenabled Russian disinformation efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Jankowicz, then a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center, Hunter Biden\u2019s job was not a concern because it was completely detached from the Obama administration\u2019s Eastern Europe diplomatic efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe accusation is that Hunter Biden, in serving on the board of a Ukrainian company, which you know he is allowed to do, he was not the only foreign expert serving on the board of Ukrainian company, was involved in some corrupt behavior of that company. This company has been investigated for a long time. Burisma is the name of the company. There\u2019s never been any indication that Hunter Biden was involved in anything untoward. There are questions about whether he should have taken that board appointment given his father\u2019s role as, you know, the Obama administration\u2019s main emissary to Ukraine, but that\u2019s not necessarily something that Joe Biden has control over. It certainly has nothing to do with Joe Biden\u2019s policies toward Ukraine,\u201d Jankowicz said during an online <a href=\"https:\/\/onemorepagebooks.indiecommerce.com\/event\/how-lose-information-war-nina-jankowicz-jane-lytvynenko\">talk<\/a> with BuzzFeed News reporter Jane Lytvynenko about her book \u201cHow to Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cAnd this has, you know, spun into a whole other host of nonsense basically that Joe Biden withheld aid to Ukraine in order to get a resolution to this investigation into Burisma and get his son out of the limelight. It\u2019s just, it\u2019s a load of nonsense. The investigation that is in question was closed at the time that Biden was kind of doing a carrot and stick routine which many diplomats do related to Ukraine in order to get some some financial reforms through and anti-corruption reforms. And there\u2019s a whole host of other allegations that just don\u2019t even bear repeating,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian government began an embezzlement <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/06\/15\/ukraine-bribe-burisma-biden-million\/\">investigation<\/a> into Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky in 2013, one year before he tapped Hunter Biden to the energy firm\u2019s board. That investigation continued into 2020, when Ukrainian officials uncovered a $6 million bribe intended to help shut it down. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/27\/biden-official-nina-jankowicz-hunter-biden-laptop\/\">(RELATED: Biden Official Tapped To Head DHS\u2019s New \u2018Disinformation\u2019 Board Peddled Disinformation)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden, who is currently living in Malibu and working as an <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/29\/critics-hunter-biden-art-name-prices-high\/\">artist<\/a>, had no previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/revolving\/rev_summary.php?id=20130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">experience<\/a> in the energy sector.

Joe Biden promoted his role in Shokin\u2019s firing on at least one occasion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2019\/09\/27\/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html\">telling<\/a> a crowd at the Council on Foreign Relations that he was instrumental in the move.<\/p>\n<p>Support for Shokin\u2019s firing was due to his refusal to investigate official corruption, many Obama administration officials have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2019\/10\/03\/what-really-happened-when-biden-forced-out-ukraines-top-prosecutor\/3785620002\/\">claimed<\/a>. In addition, Biden likely overstated his role in the firing, with International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/44c1641e-cff7-11e5-831d-09f7778e7377\">spearheading<\/a> the effort.<\/p>\n<p>Jankowicz has repeatedly downplayed concerns about disinformation that fits with left-leaning narratives, while expressing outrage about stories that conform with right-leaning concerns. During the 2020 election, she promoted a letter from ex-intelligence officials claiming that the publication of documents from Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop was part of a Russian disinformation effort. She also referred to the laptop as a \u201cTrump campaign product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Jankowicz <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/05\/biden-admin-disinformation-czar-republicans-crt-to-profit-nina-jankowicz\/\">claimed<\/a> that concerns about critical race theory are part of a disinformation campaign. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/02\/nina-jankowicz-peddled-disinformation-about-steele-dossier\/\">(RELATED: Biden\u2019s New Truth Czar Talks A Lot About \u2018Disinformation Laundering.\u2019 And Here She Is Committing That Very Sin)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCritical Race Theory has become one of those hot-button issues that the Republicans and other disinformers, who are engaged in disinformation for profit, frankly \u2026 have seized on,\u201d she said in October 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nina Jankowicz, the incoming head of the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Disinformation Governance Board, defended Hunter Biden\u2019s work on the Burisma Energy board during a July 2020 book talk.Hunter Biden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":1482291,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1470074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1470074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1470074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1470074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1482291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1470074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1470074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1470074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
