FBI Expresses Displeasure As Chuck Grassley Leaks Confidential Document About Unverified Biden Bribery Allegations

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) expressed its discontent over Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley’s decision to release an internal document about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, Insider reports.

The said document contains unverified allegations against the Bidens accepting bribes from a Ukrainian gas company.

FBI’s Stance: The FBI criticized the release, stating it “unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source.” The document contains claims from a confidential informant about alleged bribes from Burisma.

Republican Response: Grassley, who published the document, disputed the FBI’s claim, arguing that the release was necessary for public transparency. He stated that the document came to him “via legally protected disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers.”

Unverified Claims: The document alleges that Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky claimed he was “coerced” into discussing $10 million bribes to the Bidens. However, the informant was unclear if the money was ever paid or how. The White House dismissed the allegations as “dishonest.”

Political Implications: The release of the document comes amid ongoing political tensions, with Republicans alleging that Joe Biden interfered in a criminal investigation into Burisma when he was vice president. Biden has consistently denied this allegation.
