Joe Biden is Not a Criminal Suspect in Ukraine Case

Misbar’s investigation shows that the claim is fake. A Ukrainian judge ordered that a criminal case file be opened regarding Biden’s efforts as vice president to get Ukraine’s top prosecutor removed from office; however, this does not make him a suspect, only that a case file has been opened.

Multiple posts have swarmed social media outlets recently sharing the information that the former Vice President is a criminal suspect. We found that is a mischaracterization of the actual circumstances. The opening of the case was requested by a member of parliament and does not actually signal the former Vice President as being a suspect or even that a criminal investigation is being conducted, just that the case is open.
