Ukraine's Chief Prosecutor Could Be Pivotal in Trump, Biden Standoff

Henry Ridgwell

   KYIV, UKRAINE - Ukraine's new prosecutor general has only been in
   office since the end of August, but he will likely be central to the
   future course of any investigations relating to the impeachment
   proceedings against U.S. President Donald Trump and the conduct of his
   possible rival, Joe Biden, in the 2020 presidential election.
   Democrats say Trump tried to blackmail Ukraine to get it to investigate
   the business dealings of Biden's son, Hunter Biden, when he sat on the
   board of a Ukrainian energy company. Republicans deny the blackmail
   accusation and say there are legitimate questions that must be answered
   about the role of both Bidens in Ukrainian affairs.
