Trump tweets clip inserting photo of Bidens and Ukrainian gas executive into Nickelback video
President Trump on Wednesday tweeted a video that inserted a photograph of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden golfing with a Ukrainian gas company executive into the music video for Nickelback’s 2005 song “Photograph.”
The 2014 photo of the Bidens with Devon Archer, who served on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings, has made the rounds in conservative media in recent days after Biden said he and his son never discussed Hunter’s overseas business dealings.

Hunter Biden previously sat on Burisma’s board, and Trump has alleged the former vice president pressured Ukraine to dismiss a prosecutor who had investigated the company.
{mosads}Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani have attempted to draw focus back to the Bidens in the wake of the revelation of a call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump suggested Zelensky should investigate the Bidens, which in turn led to an impeachment inquiry.
Ukrainian officials have not suggested any wrongdoing by either Biden in connection with the company, and former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko told The Washington Post last week that “from the perspective of Ukrainian legislation, [Hunter Biden] did not violate anything.”
“Hunter Biden cannot be responsible for violations of the management of Burisma that took place two years before his arrival,” he added.
