House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday requesting information about then-vice president Joe Biden’s actions related to “certain sudden foreign policy changes” impacting Ukraine while Hunter Biden sat on the board of directors for a Ukrainian natural gas company.

At the time, the company, Burisma, and its founder and CEO, Mykola Zlochevsky, were being investigated for corruption by Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, whom the elder Biden later bragged about having fired.
