On Wednesday, Sen. Johnson told Fox News that he is also seeking to answer why the Ukrainian government ousted Shokin, noting:
Why was general prosecutor Shokin fired? I can’t get that from the U.S. government. I know it was a big explanation that everybody wanted him fired, but there is a document and we have to verify it, but there is a document supposedly contemporaneous that said that the contact by Blue Star to the prosecutor general’s office was all about apologizing for the misinformation campaign conducted against Shokin.Kind of raises some eyebrows, some questions that need to be answered.Sen. Johnson indicated this week that there is no evidence that the Bidens engaged in wrongdoing in Ukraine because no one has looked into the matter.
