Ex-US Attorney Bud Cummins approached the Department of Justice in 2018 on behalf of Ukraine's Prosecutor General who claimed to have evidence that Mr. Biden "exercised influence to protect" the firm of Burisma Holdings that employed his son in exchange for money to be sent to his family. The Department of Justice did not act on the offer but instead secretly launched an investigation of Mr. Cummins to identify his contacts.
According to documents and interviews obtained by Just The News, Mr. Cummins had emailed New York Attorney Geoffrey Berman on October 4, 2018, informing him that Yuriy Lutsenko, Ukraine's Prosecutor General, was willing to go to the US and present evidence of a pay-to-play scheme involving Joe Biden.
The email read that the Prosecutor General had reason to believe that "VP Biden (and Sec State Kerry) exercised influence to protect Burisma Holdings in exchange for payments to Hunter Biden, (business partner) Devon Archer, and Joe Biden." Both Archer and Hunter were employees of Burisma Holdings back in 2014 when Joe Biden was Vice President. Cummins, in a series of emails, revealed that Lutsenko had two witnesses who could corroborate such claims.
"There is a claim they have proof of a wire of significant funds from Zlochevsky to Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC which they claim directly went to the benefit of Joe Biden," Cummins wrote. "I have never understood why they think they know it went to him. I think the entity was associated with Hunter Biden and Archer. All I have been told is that the person who made the transfers was told that 'one goes to Joe Biden.' A little thin."
Yet, the Department did not act on this offer. Mr. Cummins told Just the News and The New York Post that "I can't really imagine a legitimate reason for the DOJ not to follow up on an offer like that...I felt like it was stonewalled."
Cummins said he was stunned when he received a belated notice from Apple in 2019 that notified him that the government obtained data on his phone records. The ex-prosecutor said that there was little doubt in his mind that this was "retaliation." He commented that "It doesn't make much sense to investigate the guy who brings you the allegation rather than the allegation."
Cummins emphasized that he never met directly with Mr. Lutsenko nor did he receive any payment for his work. He said, "I approached this more like a former U.S. attorney and not so much as a political matter."
