Hunter Biden sought $5 million to try to quash indictment for Ukrainian oligarch, ex-partner says

One of Hunter Biden's former business associates -- now in prison -- has told Congress that Biden sought roughly $5 million from fugitive Ukrainian oligarch Dmitri Firtash to help try to quash a U.S. indictment while his father was vice president and presiding over U.S.-Ukraine policy, according to an eyewitness to the testimony.

Jason Galanis’ jailhouse account of an effort to assist Firtash was recently provided to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees in President Joe Biden’s impeachment inquiry, and it corroborates a story from Just the News in 2021 in which Firtash’s longtime righthand man Hares Youssef confirmed the future first son was engaged in 2015 to try to help solve Firtash’s legal woes in the United States.
