BREAKING: White House refuses to hand over early draft of Biden speech demanding Ukraine fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin: House Oversight

As part of the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, House committees have revealed in a letter sent Wednesday that the Biden White House has refused to hand over all drafts of Biden’s December 2015 speech in Ukraine during which he called for the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin. 

He made the speech before the Ukrainian Rada and later bragged about having demanded that then Ukrainian President Poroshenko fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin who was apparently digging into corruption at Burisma where Hunter Biden sat on the board with an income of $80,000 per month.

"For more than five months the White House has declined to authorize the production of these draft speeches to the Oversight Committee or to assert a valid privilege over them," the letter to White House counsel Edward Siskel states.

The letter states that the Oversight committee requested these drafts to be released by the National Archives and Records Administration on August 17, 2023, with the National Archives responding that within a week of receiving the request, "NARA was able to provide the White House with the full set of documents that cover this request."
