Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko was ‘core shareholder,’ part of Hunter Biden-led Burisma subsidiary
In this exclusive interview between Stephen Gardner and Mike McCormick, a former White House press stenographer with extensive experience traveling with presidents and vice presidents, the focus is on exposing details about Joe Biden and the controversies surrounding him.
Mike, who played a role in revealing the suppressed Hunter Biden laptop story, discusses the recent New York Post revelation about the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, and his alleged connections to the Biden family’s corruption at Burisma Energy. The conversation delves into whether Klitschko could potentially be a witness in the Biden impeachment proceedings.
The interview raises the intriguing question of whether Biden’s significant support and allocation of taxpayer money to Ukraine could be connected to potential family secrets buried in the country. The discussion further explores the timeline of events during Biden’s visit to Kyiv, including a meeting with the mayor, the subsequent firing of a special prosecutor investigating Burisma, and Hunter Biden’s lucrative position with no experience.
A striking revelation is Biden’s use of three fake names and emails, totaling almost 80,000 pages of content, while serving as Vice President under Obama. The interview concludes with the anticipation that McCormick might possess evidence or testimony that could be significant in any potential Biden impeachment case.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko was ‘core shareholder,’ part of Hunter Biden-led Burisma subsidiary
Add another name to the list of Biden family business associates who met with President Biden during his vice presidency.
Vitali Klitschko, the former heavyweight boxing champion and mayor of Kyiv since 2014, was a “core shareholder” and active participant in a Hunter Biden-chaired subsidiary of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, according to emails and an associate with direct knowledge who spoke with The Post.
Klitschko’s little-known links to the first son — including through the subsidiary, Burisma Geothermal — opens a new angle in the impeachment inquiry into alleged Biden family corruption and makes the mayor of Ukraine’s capital, who met with then-Vice President Biden in 2015 while working with his son, a potential witness to key details studied by House investigators.
It also raises volatile new questions for the US-Ukraine relationship as President Biden asks Congress for another $61.4 billion in aid to fend off Russia’s almost two-year-year invasion — despite Republican resistance and demands for enhanced oversight.
Klitschko has had a stormy relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and is considered a possible challenger to him in the country’s next election — adding even greater complexity to a political scandal.
LAPTOP, WITNESS: MAYOR, HUNTER WORKED TOGETHER
Documents from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop and additional details described to The Post by a former associate indicate Klitschko was involved in establishing Burisma Geothermal in August 2015 — months before he met with Joe Biden during the then-VP’s December 2015 trip to Kyiv.
The elder Biden, in one of many interactions with the mayor, was greeted on the tarmac by Klitschko shortly before the veep aggressively pushed Ukrainian officials to oust prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma and its owner Mykola Zlochevsky for corruption.
Hunter Biden, who earned an annual salary of up to $1 million from Burisma beginning in April 2014, is believed to have first met Klitschko during a 2012 trip to Moscow, where the then-second son met with a number of leading post-Soviet businesspeople — setting in motion his later addition to Burisma’s board.
Hunter joined Burisma as it navigated the aftermath of a pro-Western uprising led in part by Klitschko that deposed Kremlin-allied President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014.
As a government minister in the Yanukovych regime, Zlochevsky awarded components of Burisma permits in an alleged self-dealing scheme, allowing his company to at one point be the largest natural gas firm in Ukraine.
Authorities in the UK investigating the corruption froze $23 million in Zlochevsky’s assets from April 2014 through January 2015.
Hunter Biden proposed that Burisma swiftly make alliances with pro-US figures who led the rebellion.
“You… should reconnect with Vitaly Klitschko (boxer candidate) who was a central leader of the overthrow of Yanukovych,” Hunter wrote in an April 13, 2014, email to his close business partner Devon Archer, who joined Burisma’s board alongside him that year.
“He more than anyone seems to have real legitimacy across all reformist factions and would be a great source of intel on the legitimacy of our Nick [Zlochevsky] and his operation … He would be someone worth both you and me going to meet.”
Hours later, Hunter wrote to Archer, “The best way to weather the storm b[e]tw[een] now an[d the] elections [in May 2014] is to throw all in with the chocolate king,” a reference to confectionary tycoon and future Ukraine president Petro Poroshenko.
“Even if he looses [sic] to [Yulia] Tymoshe[n]ko (unlikely per polls as of today) Poroshenko is a safe ally that could help protect him from the vultures of the moment. Additionally you me and Alex [Kotlarsky] should reconnect with the boxer and help gain his support of our guy,” the younger Biden went on.
