The FBI has received allegations that former Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national. The accusations were made by a highly credible FBI informant who has been used by the bureau on multiple occasions.
The informant provided detailed information that Biden was involved in a $5 million criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national that would allow him to influence policy decisions. The FBI has come under fire for not properly investigating these allegations.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and GOP Senator Chuck Grassley were presented with an FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020, which explicitly detailed information provided by a confidential human source alleging Biden’s involvement in the scheme.
Fox News Digital reports that the confidential human source providing this information has been in use by the FBI for several years, has been highly credible and was used in various other investigations separate from the information on Biden.
The FBI has not yet responded to questions surrounding this information, which begs the question about what the bureau has done with it. Transparency into the document and what the FBI has done with the information is necessary to get to the bottom of whether Joe Biden was indeed guilty of this accusation.
GOP Representative Comer subpoenaed the FD-1023 document last month, but the FBI refused to comply because of an attempt to protect sources and methods. Mr. Comer threatened to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if the bureau did not hand over the document to the committee.
The whistleblower’s information in the FD-1023 form allegedly reveals how the criminal bribery scheme was employed, its purpose and an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions. Comer told Fox News Digital that the FD-1023 form tracks closely with what the investigation has been uncovering about the Biden family and its business dealings.
The Committee’s intent has been to protect the Congressional oversight authorities and express disappointment with the unwillingness of the FBI Director to comply with a lawful subpoena. If necessary, the Committee will hold the FBI Director in contempt of Congress.
According to Fox News Digital, an FD-1023 form is used by the FBI to record unverified reporting from confidential human sources. The document records information as told to an FBI agent, and the agency does not use this information to validate or weigh it against any other information it may have.
The FBI has offered Mr. Comer and Mr. Grassley to review the FD-1023 document at FBI headquarters, and have also agreed to physically bring the document to Capitol Hill for lawmakers to review in a secure SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility). They will also deliver a briefing on the alleged criminal bribery scheme involving Joe Biden in the same setting.
The White House, in response to the allegations, has maintained that President Biden is not involved in any foreign business dealings, and has never spoken to his son, Hunter Biden, about them. Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018 for his “tax affairs” linked to foreign transactions.
Biden’s officials have stated that the President has never discussed any investigations into his family with the Justice Department. The Biden administration is dismissing the allegations as politically motivated attacks without any evidence to back them up.
The allegations against Joe Biden are serious, and the FBI is expected to brief lawmakers on their findings. Transparency and a full investigation into the matter is necessary to determine whether the accusations are true and should not be dismissed simply as politically motivated attacks without any evidence.
Republicans argue that this investigation is not politically motivated and that it is important to establish the truth regardless of political affiliations or consequences.
A full investigation is necessary to understand the extent to which Joe Biden and foreign entities have engaged in political influence and financial deals that could be detrimental to the United States’ interests.
The accusations come amidst Hunter Biden’s ongoing investigation and the controversies surrounding his business dealings. A full investigation into all the allegations against the Biden family is necessary to restore trust in government and ensure that this kind of activity does not happen again.
The American people deserve to know if their elected officials are engaged in illegal activities that put the country at risk. An objective and transparent investigation into all the allegations against the Biden family will help maintain confidence in the government and its officials.
