The U.S. Attorney’s office prosecuting Hunter Biden on gun and tax crimes was allegedly briefed about much more serious allegations in October 2020, and now Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is demanding to know what steps were taken to investigate the matter.
In a letter to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, Sen. Grassley said that his office had learned that Department of Justice and FBI officials from the Pittsburgh Field Office had briefed Assistant U.S. Attorney for Delaware Lesley Wolf and agents from the Baltimore Field Office about the FBI-generated FD1023 form alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving Joe and Hunter Biden.
A whistleblower made legally protected disclosures to Grassley’s office in May regarding the bribery document, and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) quickly issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding immediate access to the form.
After stonewalling the Committee for weeks, Wray finally allowed Comer and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) to view the file last month in a SCIF on Capitol Hill.
The FBI FD-1023 memo, created in 2020, contains information taken from a trusted FBI informant about an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions while Joe Biden was vice president.
The confidential human source allegedly told the FBI that a Burisma executive had spoken with him to “get advice on the best way to go forward” in 2015 and 2016 to gain U.S. oil rights and be involved with a U.S. oil company. The whistleblower said Joe and Hunter Biden had received $5 million each in what was described as a “pay to play” scheme.
The Burisma executive allegedly has 17 phone recordings of his conversations with Joe and Hunter that he has kept as an “insurance policy” in case he got “in a tight spot.”
The Ukrainian, who allegedly referred to Hunter Biden as “dumb,” reportedly told the confidential source that Burisma had to “pay the Bidens” because Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma, and that it would be difficult to enter the U.S. oil market in the midst of that investigation.
Grassley noted in his letter to Weiss that the October 2020 meeting to discuss the FD1023 form alleging this bribery scheme “did not include any IRS agents.”
The Iowa Republican demanded to know if the serious allegations laid out in the document were ever acted upon.
“Based on information provided to my office, potentially hundreds of Justice Department and FBI officials have had access to the FD-1023 at issue, which begs the question that I’ve been asking since the start of my oversight in this matter: what steps have the Justice Department and FBI taken to investigate the allegations?” Grassley wrote. “You, Attorney General Garland, and Director Wray have failed to answer.”
The senator also pointed out that according to recent IRS whistleblower disclosures, AUSA Wolf had obstructed the investigation into Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings in numerous ways.
