These incidents have been used by President Joe Biden&#8217;s \u2064allies to dismiss any evidence of wrongdoing. However, critics have \u200dbeen \u2063more open to seeking information from these \u2063witnesses, who argue that they have been targeted because \u2063they pose a threat to Biden&#8217;s political fortunes.<\/p>\n<h3>Witnesses Under Scrutiny<\/h3>\n<p>One such witness is \u200cGal Luft, an Israeli\u200c American\u2063 citizen who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/reports-house-speaker-pelosis-laptop-missing-w-va-delegate-charged-for-his-role-in-capitol-breach\/\" title=\"Reports: House Speaker Pelosi\u2019s laptop missing &#038; W. Va. delegate charged for his role in Capitol breach\">facing federal charges<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-investigation-biden-accusers-face-accusations-of-their-own\/\" title=\"Accusers of Hunter Biden face their own accusations in investigation.\">alleged illegal lobbying<\/a> \u2063on behalf of a \u2063Chinese company that\u2063 also paid Hunter Biden and Joe Biden&#8217;s\u2064 brother, James. Another witness is Andrii Telizhenko, a former official\u200b at \u2064the Ukrainian Embassy in the United States\u2063 who worked on lobbying for Burisma. Telizhenko has been sanctioned by\u2062 the \u200dTreasury \u200bDepartment \u200bfor allegedly spreading Russian disinformation\u2062 to influence the\u200d 2020 election. Andrii Derkach, a former member of the\u200d Ukrainian parliament, has also\u200d faced accusations of \u200cinterfering in the 2020 election and \u200cmoney laundering.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that some of these individuals had working relationships with the\u200d Obama administration, suggesting that\u2062 they may \u200chave \u2062been considered\u200d credible at\u2063 some point. However, \u2063to Biden&#8217;s supporters, the crimes \u200bthese witnesses are accused of committing \u200donly \u2062reinforce their belief that \u200cthe \u200callegations of corruption against the Biden \u200bfamily are baseless\u200b conspiracy\u2062 theories. On the other hand, Biden&#8217;s \u200bopponents see the\u2063 accusations against \u2062these witnesses as\u200b evidence that the Biden family&#8217;s \u200dforeign dealings were inherently corrupt.<\/p>\n<h3>Russian Influence?<\/h3>\n<p>Several individuals who claimed to have knowledge of problems with Burisma, the \u200dUkrainian energy company\u200b that paid Hunter \u2062Biden, have faced charges of spreading \u2062Russian disinformation. One such individual is \u200dOleksandr Onyshschenko, a former member of the \u200dUkrainian parliament \u200dwho\u2064 blew the whistle\u200d on corruption in the administration of then-President Petro Poroshenko. Onyshschenko alleged that Poroshenko\u2063 orchestrated a scheme to extract money \u2064from Burisma and another energy company \u200din Ukraine.\u2064 The Obama administration appeared to believe these\u200b allegations, as records released in 2020 showed that they were aware of a bribe paid by Burisma&#8217;s founder \u200dto\u2062 unfreeze his assets.<\/p>\n<p>Onyshschenko \u200dalso claimed that Burisma hired Hunter Biden to protect\u2063 itself from scrutiny. The Obama Department of Justice confirmed that they\u200d met with\u200b Onyshschenko \u200cin 2016, but their communication with him seemed to have ended there. Onyshschenko&#8217;s credibility has been questioned, and he has\u200b faced\u2063 sanctions for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/horrible-timing-d-c-mayor-calls-auto-theft-crime-of-opportunity-amid-skyrocketing-carjacking-rates-meets-with-immediate-backlash\/\" title=\"\u2018Horrible Timing\u2019: D.C. Mayor Calls Auto Theft \u2018Crime Of Opportunity\u2019 Amid Skyrocketing Carjacking Rates, Meets With Immediate Backlash\">allegedly attempting<\/a> to influence the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<h3>Discredited Accusers<\/h3>\n<p>Andrii Derkach, another former member of the Ukrainian \u2064parliament, has \u200bfaced\u200c severe punishments \u200bfrom the U.S. government for disseminating tapes obtained by \u2063Onyshschenko. Derkach also met with\u200b Rudy Giuliani,\u200b Trump&#8217;s personal attorney, in 2019 to discuss alleged \u200bBiden family corruption in Ukraine. The U.S. government has labeled Derkach as a Russian agent and sanctioned him for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-charged-with-34-felony-counts-will-get-special-treatment-report\/\" title=\"Trump Charged With 34 Felony Counts, Will Get Special Treatment: Report\">alleged election meddling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Andrii Telizhenko,\u2064 who\u2063 worked as \u200ba contractor for the Democratic lobbying \u200dfirm\u2063 Blue Star Strategies, has also faced sanctions for alleged election meddling. Telizhenko had close ties to the Obama administration and provided emails \u2062showing\u2063 his involvement in the Burisma\u200b account. \u2062However, \u2063he \u200bhas been labeled\u200c as a purveyor of disinformation and his credibility has been questioned.<\/p>\n<h3>Potential Oversight Witness Charged<\/h3>\n<p>Gal Luft, an Israeli American citizen, has been charged \u2064with violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act for his \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dual-national-accused-of-acting-as-illegal-russian-agent-in-u-s\/\" title=\"Dual National Accused of Acting as Illegal Russian Agent in U.S.\">alleged illegal work<\/a> with a Chinese company connected to the Biden family. Luft \u2064claims\u2063 to have spoken with \u200bFBI and\u2064 Justice Department officials about the Biden\u2063 family&#8217;s involvement \u200cwith the Chinese company. He argues that the charges against him are politically motivated and were brought because he contacted the Justice \u200cDepartment with allegations about payments received by the\u200d Biden family.<\/p>\n<p>While some\u200c of these\u200b witnesses may have questionable credibility, their \u200callegations and the actions taken against them raise concerns\u200c about the \u2064Biden family&#8217;s foreign dealings. The ongoing scrutiny\u200d and\u2062 legal\u200c troubles surrounding these witnesses contribute to the ongoing debate about corruption allegations against the Biden family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple individuals with information on the Biden family&#8217;s involvement with foreign companies have been charged with crimes, faced sanctions, or targeted with accusations of corruption.
