So I just read an article where Biden publicly threatened to withhold a billion dollars in credit to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor directly investigating his son, so uh, Im not sure this is gonna go anywhere.

Key takeaways
Hunter Biden did hold a directorship for a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president. Experts agree that Hunter Biden's acceptance of the position created a conflict of interest for his father.

Vice President Joe Biden did urge Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, with the threat of withholding U.S. aid. But that was the position of the wider U.S. government, as well as other international institutions.

We found no evidence to support the idea that Joe Biden advocated with his son's interests in mind, as the message suggests. It's not even clear that the company was actively under investigation or that a change in prosecutors benefited it.

And even if there were something to Giuliani's allegations (which there very likely aren't), it would still be an impeachable offense for Trump to abuse his office to strongarm the Ukrainians into helping him prove it.
