Burisma, Hunter & Joe Biden, Kushner & $3.1 Billion Middle Eastern Money
Table of Contents 📖
"I want you to be as rhetorically robust against Trump and against nepotism and against Jared Kushner and against what looks like very dubious funding. I want you to be as strong with this as you have been for probably years with the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden situation. Double standards annoys me."

Jonathan kicks off the video by acknowledging that this particular video isn't directly related to the Ukraine war. However, it does have a tangential connection. He then mentions that he's going to be discussing the Hunter Biden and Joe Biden impeachment inquiry, and jokes that he's talking to his viewers because no one else at home wants to listen.

The Hunter Biden & Joe Biden Impeachment Inquiry
🎦 00:17-02:23⏩
Jonathan dives into the Hunter Biden and Joe Biden impeachment inquiry. Republicans are investigating Joe Biden's alleged misconduct involving money funneled through Hunter Biden's position on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. However, no impeachable offenses have been found, and the investigation seems largely fueled by unreliable information from a Russian informant connected to Russian intelligence. This raises concerns about Russian meddling in American politics.

Hunter Biden's Public Deposition
🎦 02:23-03:33⏩
Jonathan highlights that despite the lack of evidence, the accusations continue to cast a shadow over both Joe and Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden, in an attempt to clear his name, requested a public deposition, which Republicans denied. He ultimately participated in a closed-door deposition where he answered all questions without invoking the Fifth Amendment, unlike Donald Trump, who invoked it 440 times in a similar situation. According to reports, Hunter Biden gave a strong and eloquent defense of himself and, by extension, his father.

Jared Kushner's Middle Eastern Dealings
🎦 03:33-11:45⏩
Jonathan shifts focus to Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, who received $3.1 billion in investments for his private equity firm, Affinity Partners, after Trump left office. Of that amount, $2 billion came from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, $200 million from the UAE, $200 million from Qatar, and the remaining $625 million from undisclosed foreign investors. Jonathan questions the source of these investments, especially given Kushner's lack of experience in private equity and minimal investment activity since receiving the funds. This, according to Jonathan, raises serious questions about potential quid pro quo and foreign influence, particularly in light of Kushner’s previous role in the Trump administration. He contrasts this with the relentless scrutiny of Hunter Biden's dealings, highlighting a double standard in how the two situations are treated.
