Joe Biden surged to the top of the Democratic presidential pack, Senate Republicans announced a new phase of their investigation targetingSenate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson told reporters on Wednesday that he is likely to release an interim report within one to two months on his panel’s probe of Hunter Biden’s ties to a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma.“And if I were a Democrat primary voter, I’d want these questions satisfactorily answered before I cast my final vote.
Democrats are now warily eyeing Trump’s Twitter feed — and his Republican allies in the Senate like Johnson — for the return of the widely discredited corruption charges against Biden that had seemed to fade from consciousness along with Biden’s flagging campaign. But after Biden’s Super Tuesday romp, the Democrats who led the impeachment drive against Trump for his efforts to get Ukraine to investigate the Bidens are preparing for Burisma to make a return to the GOP playbook.
“I am concerned to see that in the Senate there seems to be a renewed interest in furthering these bogus Russian narratives through the use of their investigative powers,” said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff . “I just think it’s so deeply destructive to be effectively working in a concert with Russian propaganda artists.”
Johnson’s current posture marks a sharp departure from his position in 2016 when he and a bipartisan team of senatorssupporting Biden’s efforts in Ukraine to crack down on corrupt prosecutor Viktor Shokin.
