Cravath Firm Registers as Burisma Agent Years Later Amid Hunter Biden Controversy
-
Cravath, Swain & Moore law firm registered as a foreign agent for Burisma 8 years after working for the company in 2016. The firm met with Obama officials about investigations into Burisma.
-
Burisma appointed Hunter Biden to its board in 2014. The company faced corruption investigations in Ukraine, the U.K., and U.S. at the time.
-
In 2016, Joe Biden pushed Ukraine to fire its prosecutor as part of anti-corruption efforts. Allies of Trump later claimed Biden did this to help Burisma.
-
In 2019, Trump was impeached for pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens over Burisma. He was acquitted by the Senate.
-
In 2022, Hunter Biden was indicted on tax charges related to income from Burisma. Another firm, Blue Star Strategies, also belatedly registered as an agent of Burisma.
