 INVESTIGATE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND HIS SON, HUNTER BIDEN

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call for an investigation 
into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, for 
their unethical and potentially criminal actions in Ukraine.
  In 2014, after being discharged from the Navy for cocaine use, Hunter 
Biden was named a board member of Burisma Holdings. Burisma is a 
natural gas company that was being investigated by the Ukrainian 
Government for corruption.
  This strange hire for a million dollars a year was around the same 
period that Vice President Joe Biden was the primary American liaison 
to Ukraine, supposedly assisting their new government in combating 
corruption.
  Just last year, Joe Biden bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations 
that he threatened the Ukrainian Government while vice president with 
the loss of a billion dollars unless they fired the prosecutor general 
leading the ethics probe into Hunter Biden, or America would cut off 
that foreign aid.
  Talk about quid pro quo.
  It is clear: Democrats would rather smear President Trump than 
investigate Biden's corrupt bullying of the Ukrainian Government.
