RIVERS Even with an official impeachment inquiry, Ukraine finds itself at the center of America's impeachment investigation after Donald Trump repeatedly asked his Ukrainian counterpart, Vladimir Zelinsky, to investigate the family of the former vice president, Joe Biden.

It's a complicated story, even for those of us who are following it every day.

So here's a quick rundown of what we do, and we don't know.

So what were the Bidens doing in Ukraine in 2015?

We stepped up with official assistance to help backstop you created well.

Joe was the vice president and the focal point of American policy, so he visited often.

His son, Hunter, was the well paid director of a controversial energy company called Charisma, which has links to the pro Russian government which had just bean overthrown.

At the time, some people said that that was a conflict of interest.

So did Joe Biden get Ukraine's prosecutor general a man called Victor?

Last year I said, I'm telling you not getting a $1,000,000,000 I said, You're not getting a 1,000,000,000.

If the prosecutors not fired, you're not getting the money fired.

So what's President Trump saying about it?

Well, he wants Ukraine to investigate whether there's a link between the sacking of Mr Shock in and Hunter Biden's company.

But what he said is that he wouldn't give.

I think it was billions of dollars to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was looking at his son and his son company, the company that has done work with That's great, dishonest things.

So is there any evidence to support what President Trump is saying?

If there is well, way haven't seen it yet, but it it is not true that prosecutor shocking was tough Prosecutor who was willing to investigate Griezmann, absolutely, to the contrary, Prosecutor Shocking was dumping this investigation, and I have evidence of that.

I'm full of in this investigation since 2014 shocking his predecessor and the next prosecutor after Sugar Units uncle.

They all were contributed to kill in this case.

So there's there's no evidence that suggests that Vice President Biden acted differently because his son was on the board of the Ukrainian energy company.

I've seen the actions which show absolutely the contrary.

So why, then, did Joe Biden won the prosecutor general?

Well, at the time, there was widespread consensus among international donors like the I, M.

 F and the U and also locally here among activists that Mr Shocking was an obstacle to the fight against corruption, and then he had to go.
