In the transcripts, Zlochevsky denies ever interacting with the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: 'Pipeline' to Obama Admin Seen as 'Currency'\">vice president<\/a>, contradicting previous claims.<\/p>\n<h3>The Transcripts and Giuliani&#8217;s Involvement<\/h3>\n<p>The transcripts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-rules-elon-musk-can-use-twitter-whistleblower-claims\/\" title=\"Judge Rules Elon Musk Can Use Twitter Whistleblower Claims\">recently made public<\/a> by House Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), reveal Zlochevsky&#8217;s statement to an associate of Rudy Giuliani. Zlochevsky states, &#8220;No one from Burisma ever had any contacts with VP Biden or people working for him during Hunter Biden&#8217;s engagement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that at the time of this interview in 2019, Giuliani was reportedly seeking information on the Bidens on behalf of then-President Donald Trump, in preparation for the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<h3>A First Look at the Transcripts<\/h3>\n<p>While previous reports mentioned meetings between Zlochevsky and Giuliani associates, this is the first time the transcripts have been released to the public. Lev Parnas, an associate of Giuliani, provided the transcripts to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Zlochevsky&#8217;s denial in the transcripts contradicts an unverified FBI-generated FD-1023 tip sheet, which alleges that he paid $5 million to both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden to pressure the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma.<\/p>\n<h3>Joe Biden&#8217;s Involvement and Zlochevsky&#8217;s Knowledge<\/h3>\n<p>In January 2018, Joe Biden himself claimed that he ordered the Ukrainian government to fire the prosecutor or risk losing aid from the White House. Zlochevsky, however, states in the transcripts that he had no knowledge of why Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian government to take this action, learning about it only through media sources.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin, in a letter to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), highlights Zlochevsky&#8217;s explicit denial of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/marilyn-manson-denies-evan-rachel-woods-abuse-allegations-gets-dropped-from-record-label\/\" title=\"Marilyn Manson Denies Evan Rachel Wood\u2019s Abuse Allegations, Gets Dropped From Record Label\">allegations made<\/a> against him and Burisma. Despite being interviewed as part of a campaign to gather damaging information about the Biden family, Zlochevsky denies any contact with Joe Biden or his representatives during Hunter Biden&#8217;s tenure on the Burisma board.<\/p>\n<h3>Burisma&#8217;s Role in Trump&#8217;s First Impeachment<\/h3>\n<p>Burisma also gained attention when it was mentioned in a July 2019 call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This call led to a whistleblower complaint and ultimately Trump&#8217;s first impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>Comer, in response to Raskin&#8217;s release of the transcripts, challenges the denial and claims that it does not disprove the information in the FD-1023 tip sheet. He calls for the FBI to make the tip sheet public to clarify the situation.<\/p>\n<p>As the controversy surrounding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-house-oversight-democrat-releases-transcript-disputing-biden-bribery-allegations\/\" title=\"Top House Oversight Democrat releases transcript refuting Biden bribery claims.\">alleged bribery scandal continues<\/a>, the release of these transcripts adds a new layer to the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newly released transcripts reveal that Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch implicated in the alleged bribery scandal with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, stated in a 2019 interview that he had no interaction with the former vice president.
