This should be the headline in every news outlet in America. Just think of it, the simplicity of it. Here's the summary: the president bribed or pressured a foreign leader to fire that country's top prosecutor because the prosecutor was investigating his son and he used $1,000,000,000 of U.S. taxpayer money to have that bidding done and then he bragged about it on video. I can't understand why every news outlet is not covering this as the first story this morning and throughout this process. Mr. Shokin, of course, is an important voice in this because he was directly involved, he was the target of the president. And the idea that he believes there was bribery confirms what many of us are already thinking.

Johnson said Shokin's claims confirm "what many of us are already thinking" about President Biden and his son Hunter's involvement in his firing.

It was in that interview over the weekend that Shokin "detailed the involvement he believed President Biden, the then-vice president, played in his firing and how it involved Hunter Biden's business dealings," the report explained.

Shokin charged he was fired in 2016 because he was investigating Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that was paying Hunter Biden $1 million a year.

"Shokin also claimed that Joe and Hunter Biden accepted bribes in the case and that the then-vice president ultimately hurt America's reputation and created the groundwork for Russia to invade Ukraine," the report said.

"I have said repeatedly in my previous interviews that Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of the then Vice President Biden because I was investigating Burisma," Shokin charged.

A White House spokesman claimed the statements were "false."
