As per the US Senate committee reports, Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden was linked up to serve as the board of Burisma which is a Ukrainian natural gas company with a corrupt owner while his father was the US vice president during the Obama administration.

But it found no evidence that US foreign policy was influenced by it.

Hunter Biden's presence on the Burisma board led to an impeachment trial against Donald Trump earlier this year.

Trump was accused of pressing Ukraine to probe what the Bidens were doing in the country and using military aid as a bargaining chip.

He was impeached by the Democratic House but cleared by the Republican Senate.

The 87-page report called the younger Biden's role at a company suspected of corruption "awkward" and "problematic" at a time when the US was trying to help clean up corruption in Ukraine.

However, the report found little additional information that had not already been publicly revealed in news reports and testimony to the impeachment committee.

Trump has claimed that Biden meddled in Ukraine to help his son's business interests, but lawmakers found no evidence of this.
