U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has announced the publication of “evidence of an attempt” on former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin.
“Today Common Sense will release a bombshell medical report proving there was an attempt to murder the key witness in the Biden-Poroshenko double bribery case, Viktor Shokin,” Giuliani wrote on Twitter.
“Viktor was diagnosed by a world famous Austrian Doctor who confirms he was nearly killed,” he said.
As reported, on Nov. 2, 2015, an assassination attempt was made on Shokin. At around 10:00 p.m., a sniper fired on his office in the building of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine.
On Nov. 3, 2015, Chief Military Prosecutor, Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Anatoliy Matios said Shokin continues to fulfill his duties on his position.
On Jan. 29, 2020, Shokin demanded that the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) open criminal proceedings against former U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden for “illegal influence on him as the prosecutor general of Ukraine.” Shokin said he agreed to resign as prosecutor general of Ukraine due to Biden pressure.
“During the last months of 2015 and the first of 2016, Joseph Biden, using his official position, personally paid official visits to Ukraine several times with the aim of holding negotiations with the state leaders on my removal from my post. As a result, he curtailed an objective investigation criminal proceedings on the facts of unlawful activities of persons associated with the company Burisma Holdings Limited (Cyprus), including the son of the specified high-ranking official,” he said.
Shokin said Biden demanded that he be fired in exchange for the unhindered provision of Ukraine with a U.S. state guarantee in the amount of $1 billion.
