Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on March 11 postponed a scheduled vote on a subpoena of a former Ukrainian embassy official stemming from an ongoing probe into Burisma Holdings, a gas company in Ukraine that paid Hunter Biden to serve as a board member, The Hill reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

The committee had been preparing to vote on Wednesday afternoon to subpoena Andrii Telizhenko, who worked as a consultant to Blue Star Strategies, the U.S. firm that lobbied on behalf of Burisma, for documents and an interview. Johnson said that Telizhenko wanted to cooperate with the committee, but was unable to do so because of a non-disclosure agreement, according to outlet.<\/p>\n

Instead, Johnson told his colleagues in a letter on Wednesday that he would \u201cpostpone\u201d the vote out of an \u201cabundance of caution\u201d and that they would receive \u201cadditional briefings,\u201d on the matter, indicating that he will instead subpeona Blue Star Strategies for records and a testimony.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of an abundance of caution, and to allow time for you to receive additional briefings, I will postpone a vote to subpoena records and an appearance from former Blue Star Strategies consultant Andrii Telizhenko about his work for the lobbying firm,\u201d Johnson wrote in a notice to committee members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we work through those questions, at the suggestion of both Republican and Democrat Committee members, we will instead go straight to the source and compel the same records and an appearance directly from Blue Star Strategies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Johnson later told reporters that he was pulling the vote because of \u201csome discrepancies brought up in what we had been told.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were issues raised. There were discrepancies in what had been told in one briefing versus the next briefing, and then even greater discrepancies in staff notes,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

The decision to postpone the subpoena vote came amid accusations from Democrats that the probe was politically motivated to damage former Vice President Joe Bidens presidential bid. Biden notched wins on Super Tuesday II in Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi and Idaho, delivering a major blow to his rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).<\/p>\n

However, Johnson has insisted<\/a> the investigation is focused on looking into conflict-of-interest claims against the Bidens and has nothing to do with the election.<\/p>\n
