Newly released FBI files shed light on the Biden family’s shady business dealings in Ukraine.
According to the New York Post, Senator Chuck Grassley’s office released declassified FBI files on Tuesday that revealed additional bribery allegations involving the former president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
The files indicate the FBI did not fully investigate all allegations against the Biden family regarding foreign bribery.
FBI sources, who were interviewed in 2017 and 2019, outline how the Biden family was linked to a foreign bribery ‘scheme’ involving the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, according to NY Post.
The sources also told the FBI that Biden met with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ‘to protect the interests’ of his son Hunter and Mykola Zlochevsky – the owner of Burisma Holdings.
The documents released by Grassley’s office do not offer a specific date for Biden’s alleged meeting with Poroshenko.
Republicans have long accused Biden of using his powers while serving as vice president to benefit his family’s foreign business deals.
The Republican-led House brought forward an impeachment inquiry in 2023; however, the inquiry never materialized an official impeachment vote.
The Daily Mail reached out to Biden’s office for comment.
According to the NY Post, the FBI informants allege that Zlochevsky tried to offer Poroshenko $100 million in ownership shares in the gas company, as well as ‘guaranteed profits from gas sales.’
Zlochevsky wanted to make the offer to Poroshenko in return for him shutting down an ‘Interpol investigation’ into Burisma.
The sources allege Biden along with his son invested money into Burisma via a Latvian ‘shell company.’
During a Tuesday hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel Grassley stated that ‘to date, the FBI has never answered Congress whether they investigated the text messages, the audio files, and financial records referenced in that 1023.’
Back in July 2023, Grassley’s office released a separate FBI informant file accusing Joe and Hunter Biden of accepting a $5 million bribe from Zlochevsky.
This separate document alleges the money was given to the Bidens in exchange for protecting Burisma from a corruption probe overseen by Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin.
As vice president in December 2015, Biden publicly pressured Ukrainian officials by promising to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees unless they fired Shokin.
Months later, the Ukrainian prosecutor was ousted by lawmakers in Kyiv’s parliament.
