Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi spoke on the second night of the Republican National Convention on Aug. 25, 2020. Bondi addressed Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden’s involvement in Ukraine, focusing on an incident where the Vice President threatened to withhold aid from the country if the government didn’t remove, what the U.S. and international community widely believed, was a corrupt prosecutor. Bondi stated that Biden’s actions were to protect his son, Hunter, but there is no evidence that his son was being investigated by Ukraine at the time. Bondi also raised Biden's brother’s involvement in a construction company which was working on a $1.5 billion deal with Iraq, all while the Vice President had a hand in the Obama administration’s Iraq policy. While a former executive for the company admitted Biden’s name might have got them in the door during talks, the deal never went through.
