GOP Witness Volker Defends Biden, Says Corruption Allegations Are 'Self-Serving' and 'Not Credible'
Oh, to have seen reactions to that from Trump and Giuliani and their thugs...
https://www.newsweek.com/kurt-volker-defends-bidens-trump-impeachment-hearing-1472804
Former State Department official Kurt Volker — a key Republican witness in the impeachment probe against President Donald Trump — defended former Vice President Joe Biden against corruption allegations during his public testimony on the Ukraine controversy Tuesday.
"I have known Vice President Biden for 24 years. He is an honorable man and I hold him in the highest regard," Volker, the former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine, told lawmakers.
He added that he rejected the "conspiracy theory" peddled by Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani that the former vice president had been influenced in his duties by money paid to his son, Hunter, from the Ukraine energy company Burisma.
"I think the allegations against Vice President Biden are self-serving and not credible," Volker said.
