Probe into US President Biden and son Hunter’s criminal bribery schemes in Ukraine has energised Trump to hem in his successor
The secrecy the FBI says is necessary to protect sources can also obscure the credibility of the source. Still, top Republicans are now citing exactly the kind of evidence – a confidential human source relaying the unverified allegations of a Ukrainian business executive – that they dismissed as unreliable when it came to Trump and the dossier.
Now FBI turns searchlight on US President Biden and son Hunter’s alleged criminal bribery scheme in Ukraine
The idea that the charge has been proven is preposterous, but readers looking for details on the case have little place to turn outside of the conservative news outlets that have been making such claims. Yet if the FBI is telling Congress that it hasn’t disproved the allegation, it does raise serious questions: What exactly are the Bidens accused of doing? What is this document? And what has the FBI done to test the veracity of that evidence?

However, his resignation means he will escape that punishment, the committee recommended that he should not receive the pass granting access to Parliament which is normally given to former MPs.
Sunset in Uganda: Museveni’s ‘forever’ cult that made him the omni-god Ugandans revere and revile is coming to an end
Collectively, Uganda is endangered by a possible absence of the president from the politico-military stage, over which he has had a firm grip for decades. It is worrying many Ugandans are mired in worship attachment to the President. They need liberation, but who will liberate them.
Here’s why Uganda and Africa need leadership that gives environmental development priority
There are aeroplanes too that can go thousands of feet out of the Earthly environment into outer space with people and goods, but like the high-flying birds that come back to feed and reproduce themselves, they must come down to deliver people and goods to their destinations, fuel and take others. According to Smithsonian Magazine dated July 17, 1962, American test pilot Robert White took the X-15 to an altitude of 314,688 feet (95.916902 metres). But it is Russian pilot Alexandr Fedotov who holds the world altitude record set on August 31, 1977, when his MiG E-266M reached 37,650 metres. He went and came back to our environment.
