UNITED STATES—Documentation of the financial records of Congressman Adam Schiff reveals a financial link between the congressman and the Burisma/U.S.-Ukraine corruption scandal.
The State Department Watch released a financial disclosure for Schiff with a filing year of 2015 and filing date of May 15, 2017.
The annual report shows assets, unearned income and dividends for Schiff. Records include those of both BlackRock and Franklin Templeton; two companies that were announced to be part of the Burisma/US-Ukraine corruption claim.
In a press conference held on November 20 at the Interfax-Ukraine agency, MP Andriy Derkach announced that deputies received new materials from investigative journalists regarding international corruption and the participation of Ukranian officials in it.
“Last week November 14, the Prosecutor General’s Office(PGO) unnoticed by the media, announced a new suspicion to the notorious owner of Burisma, ex-ecology Minister, Zchlochvesky. According to the suspicion, the Yanukovych family is suspected in particular with legalizing (laundering) of criminally obtained income through Franklin Templeton Investments, an investment fund carrying out purchases of external government loan bonds totaling $7.4 Billion,” said Derkach.
Documentation places Schiff in Ukraine between August 24 and August 31, 2019. Records indicate he may have had dealings with Ukranian arms dealer, Igor Pasternak. According to reports, Schiff and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi were seen publicly at a fundraiser held by Pasternak where Schiff was the beneficiary.
