Weird how this stuff was dismissed as baseless right-wing conspiracies just a few months ago, but now it's okay to report on it.
So weird.
Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) ~ NEW: When @JoeBiden was VP, Hunter Biden asked the US Embassy in Italy to help Burisma, per new FOIA records. @nytimes had been seeking the records for years. They were released on 7/26 by @StateDept. The Department suggested the timing was coincidence.

Especially that timing.
More from The New York Times:
Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, according to newly released records and interviews.
The records, which the Biden administration had withheld for years, indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member.
Embassy officials appear to have been uneasy with the request from the son of the sitting vice president on behalf of a foreign company.
'Appear to have been uneasy.'
No. Duh.
Jim Muessig (@JimMuessig) ~ {Replying to @kenvogel} The coast is clear to drop this stuff now.
Of course it is.
J (@ARaised_Eyebrow) ~ {Replying to @kenvogel} I've noticed your Biden family scoop ended when he got the presidential nomination and began again when he was no longer seeking it.
Total coincidence, we're sure.
TWEETO BANDITO (@DjptrsnMana) ~ {Replying to @kenvogel} It was all on the laptop you ignored in 2020.
Ignored and censored and attacked as 'Russian interference.'
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ {Replying to @kenvogel} What happened on July 26th?
Corrupt, treasonous sleazebags at The White House, The State Department, and The New York Times, who were enabled by dishonorable nitwits like those at the Further Freedom From Thought board.
Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) ~ It's amazing how "journalism" starts to happen, even a little, once it can't hurt the person they were protecting.
OK Conservationist (@OKConserve) ~ Are you saying that Trump was correct to want the Burisma investigation restarted? Strange, he was impeached for trying.
So strange.
