Senate Committee Authorizes Subpoena Targeting Hunter Biden & Burisma [Details]
The ballad of ol’ crackhead Hunter Biden isn’t over just head. Finally, after months and months of talk, it would appear as though some movement is happening on Burisma.
Here’s what’s up, via Politico:
A Senate committee voted on Wednesday to authorize a subpoena as part of a Republican-led investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.

CONTINUED:
Wednesday’s vote authorizes the committee’s chairman, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), to subpoena Blue Star Strategies, a Democratic public-relations firm that did consulting work for Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company whose board Hunter Biden sat on. Johnson’s probe focuses on allegations that Blue Star Strategies sought to leverage Biden’s position on the board in order to influence matters at the Obama-era State Department.
“The question I would ask is, what is everybody worried about?” Johnson said. “If there’s nothing there, we’ll find out there’s nothing there. But if there’s something there, the American people need to know that.”
WATCH:
A DNA test revealed that Hunter fathered a child with an Arkansas woman while he was involved in a year-long relationship with his deceased brother’s wife.
Team Trump was all over it…
