Donald Trump and his allies have tried time and again to make Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine a big campaign talking point. A GOP-led committee launched an investigation that’s goal seemed to be to appease the president, but today we are learning the committee was unable to find the bombshell they were looking for. The Washington Post reports:
A pair of Senate Republican committee chairmen released a report Wednesday arguing that Hunter Biden’s board position with a Ukrainian energy company was “awkward,” “problematic” and interfered with “efficient execution of policy” for the Obama administration, but failed to demonstrate that it changed the administration’s policy toward Ukraine.
The findings, outlined in an 87-page report, don’t support a central accusation President Trump and other Republicans have made about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s duties in Ukraine: that he sought the removal of the country’s top prosecutor to protect the gas company, Burisma Holdings, from investigation.

SPOILER ALERT: Sen. Ron Johnson’s much-hyped report on Joe Biden and Burisma is an 87-page rehash of previously known allegations (with minimal, if any, evidence), news articles and impeachment testimony.
