FBI Informant Reveals Alleged $5 Million Bribery Scheme Linked to President Biden
New evidence has emerged regarding an alleged $5 million bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has publicly disclosed information from an FBI informant file that connects the president to this scandal. Obtaining this file through a subpoena has caused controversy, with the FBI resisting its release and potentially facing a contempt of Congress charge.
Details of the Allegations
The FBI informant’s tip-off, dated June 30, 2020, was shared with Senator Chuck Grassley’s office. Comer’s letter confirms that the whistleblower is protected by the law, and the subpoena was issued in response to their disclosure.
Possible Connection to the Biden Family in Ukraine
The New York Post has suggested a potential connection between this bribery case and the Biden family’s involvement in Ukraine. Notably, Ukrainian officials held a press conference in June 2020, where they presented $5 million in cash that was allegedly offered as a bribe to cease an investigation into Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma, a natural gas company. Hunter Biden, the president’s son, worked for Burisma from 2014 to 2019, and an executive from the company reportedly had a meeting with then-Vice President Biden in Washington, DC, in 2015. The fact that both the seized $5 million in Ukraine and the amount allegedly received by Joe Biden were in US $100 bills raises suspicions of a potential link.
Implications for US Policies
Questions have arisen regarding potential changes to US policies in response to these allegations. It is worth noting that Joe Biden supposedly endorsed US support for Ukraine’s natural gas industry shortly after Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board in 2014.
Denials and Resistance
The Delaware US Attorney has declined to allow former Obama White House stenographer Mike McCormick to testify in the tax probe into Hunter Biden. In addition, two whistleblowers from the IRS have claimed political interference by the Justice Department in the tax investigation. Attorney General Merrick Garland, appointed by President Biden, denies these claims.
Frustration with the FBI’s Resistance
There is growing frustration over the FBI’s reluctance to share the informant file. Representative Comer has warned that he will initiate a contempt of Congress charge against the bureau if they do not release the file. Supporters of this action argue that it would remind the FBI that it is subject to the law and could lead to necessary reforms. The FBI, on the other hand, defends its position by stating that the release of confidential source information could compromise ongoing investigations and put lives at risk. Nevertheless, the bureau maintains its commitment to complying with Congressional oversight requests.
