These records reveal that Ukrainian officials were disappointed with Biden&#8217;s December 2015 visit to Kyiv,believing it lacked substantive discussions and was mainly a public relations event. They privately speculated that Biden&#8217;s family&#8217;s alleged corruption, particularly Hunter Biden&#8217;s ties to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, highlighted a double standard in U.S. government attitudes toward corruption. Although an intelligence report detailing these concerns met criteria for broader dissemination, it was withheld based on preferences from the Office of the Vice President.The article further notes that Biden previously admitted to withholding U.S. aid to Ukraine to force the firing of a prosecutor investigating Burisma. This revelation forms part of broader coverage of the Biden family&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anne-applebaum-doesnt-think-hunter-biden-peddling-foreign-access-to-his-now-president-father-is-interesting\/\" title=\"Anne Applebaum Doesn\u2019t Think Hunter Biden Peddling Foreign Access To His Now-President Father Is \u2018Interesting\u2019\">overseas business activities<\/a> and related controversies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oesl2RXpfPQ\">By Mona Salama\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/07\/report-biden-suppressed-ukrainian-concerns-about-his-familys-corrupt-business-dealings\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Report:%20Biden%20Suppressed%20Ukrainian%20Concerns%20About%20His%20Family%E2%80%99s%20Corrupt%20Business%20Dealings&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/07\/report-biden-suppressed-ukrainian-concerns-about-his-familys-corrupt-business-dealings\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Report:%20Biden%20Suppressed%20Ukrainian%20Concerns%20About%20His%20Family%E2%80%99s%20Corrupt%20Business%20Dealings&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/07\/report-biden-suppressed-ukrainian-concerns-about-his-familys-corrupt-business-dealings\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/07\/report-biden-suppressed-ukrainian-concerns-about-his-familys-corrupt-business-dealings\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Report:%20Biden%20Suppressed%20Ukrainian%20Concerns%20About%20His%20Family%E2%80%99s%20Corrupt%20Business%20Dealings&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/07\/report-biden-suppressed-ukrainian-concerns-about-his-familys-corrupt-business-dealings\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print();

and &ldquo;disappointment&rdquo; at Biden&rsquo;s Dec. 7-8, 2015, visit to Kyiv, and &ldquo;assessed that the Vice President of the United States had come to Kiev almost exclusively to give a generic public speech.&rdquo; They further opined that Biden &ldquo;had no intention of discussing substantive matters with [then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko] or other officials within the Ukrainian government.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>The report goes on to note that Poroshenko administration officials &ldquo;privately mused at the U.S. media scrutiny of the alleged ties of [Biden&rsquo;s] family to corrupt business practices in Ukraine.&rdquo; These officials, the analysis summarized, &ldquo;viewed the alleged ties of [Biden&rsquo;s] family to corruption in Ukraine as evidence of a double-standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;alleged ties&rdquo; disclosed in the report are likely in reference to Hunter Biden&rsquo;s role as a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, a position which <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/12\/03\/hunter-bidens-pardon-is-all-about-protecting-joe-biden-not-his-son\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">earned him more than $80,000<\/a> a month (despite his lack of expertise in the field). Recall that in a 2018 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden infamously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/116\/meeting\/house\/110331\/documents\/HMKP-116-JU00-20191211-SD440.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bragged<\/a> about withholding U.S. aid to Ukraine as a means of getting the prosecutor tasked with investigating Burisma fired.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I looked at them and said: &lsquo;I&rsquo;m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you&rsquo;re not<br \/>getting the money.&rsquo; Well, son of a b-tch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was<br \/>solid at the time,&rdquo; Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>But the aforementioned intel report documenting Ukrainian officials&rsquo; concerns about Biden&rsquo;s 2015 visit &ldquo;never&rdquo; saw the light of day. A senior CIA official told Fox News, &ldquo;Intelligence officials agreed that, at the time of collection, [the report] would have met the threshold [for dissemination], but based on the Office of the Vice President&rsquo;s preference, the information was never shared outside of the CIA.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 10, 2016, an unnamed official within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence &mdash; identified only as &ldquo;[Presidential Daily Brief] Briefer&rdquo; &mdash; sent an email to unnamed CIA officials about the report. In apparent reference to Biden and his then-National Security Advisor Colin Kahl, the ODNI official explicitly wrote, &ldquo;I just spoke with VP\/NSA and he would strongly prefer the report not\/not be disseminated.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Thanks for understanding,&rdquo; the ODNI official added. <\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/10\/07\/us-news\/biden-covered-up-ukrainian-complaints-of-corruption-double-standard-secret-cia-files-reveal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York Post<\/a>, &ldquo;&lsquo;PDF Briefer&rsquo; was likely Deputy Director of National Intelligence Michael Dempsey, who provided an intelligence briefing to President Barack Obama every morning at that time. Dempsey reported to then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who has been implicated in the Russiagate scandal to sabotage Donald Trump&rsquo;s first presidential term.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>The latest bombshell is <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/biden-family-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of many<\/a> to break in recent years documenting the Biden family&rsquo;s corrupt, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >overseas business dealings<\/a>. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
