Biden was captured on video boasting about \u2064pressuring then-Ukrainian President Petro\u200b Poroshenko \u2062to dismiss Shokin in exchange for the release of $1 \u200dbillion \u200cin U.S. \u200bloan \u2062guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>Shokin\u2062 was\u200b investigating the \u2062owner of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky,\u200b at the\u200b time. Hunter\u200c Biden, Joe Biden&#8217;s son, was serving\u200d on Burisma&#8217;s board and earning a significant salary.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200bJuly, Senator \u200cChuck\u200d Grassley released an FBI \u200bFD-1023 form from\u200d an \u2063informant \u200balleging\u200b that Zlochevsky paid Joe and Hunter Biden\u2064 $5 million each in exchange for\u200c Joe Biden using his authority as Vice President to fire Shokin for investigating Burisma&#8217;s corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News recently conducted a rare interview with \u2063Shokin, where he questioned whether \u2064Biden&#8217;s actions constituted corruption.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Denied Filings<\/h3>\n<p>Among the denied filings were those attributed to &#8220;D.A. Feliciano&#8221; and a petition for a \u2062Writ of Habeas Corpus. It\u2063 remains unclear which sides were supported\u2063 by &#8220;Shorkin,&#8221; the Galaxy Bar Association, \u200dand D.A.
