Newly released FBI documents are raising more questions about the Biden family’s connections to a gas company under investigation at one point by Ukrainian authorities for corruption, Burisma.

The company’s links to the Biden family already have been documented to run deep: Hunter Biden was paid some $1 million a year for several years to be on its board, even though he lacked expertise in running an energy company.

And Joe Biden is on record that he used his power as vice president under Barack Obama to threaten Ukraine with the loss of a billion dollars in American tax help at the time if a prosecutor investigating Burisma wasn’t fired.

Republicans have been raising questions about the scandal for years already, and now Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released declassified files that suggest additional bribery allegations against Joe Biden and his scandal-plagued son, Hunter.

The files recorded two interviews in 2019 and 2017 with confidential FBI informants who shared details about the Biden family being linked to a possible foreign bribery “scheme” with the owner of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky.

A report at the New York Post explains the documents released by Grassley memorialize two interviews, from 2017 and 2019, in which FBI sources provided details about the Bidens being linked to “a possible foreign bribery ‘scheme’ with Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.”

One of the major concerns now is the suggestion that the FBI never even investigated those allegations.

“The informants alleged that Zlochevsky sought to offer then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko $100 million in ‘shares and guaranteed profits from gas sales’ to stop an ‘Interpol investigation’ into Burisma — in which Joe and Hunter Biden had ‘money invested’ via a Latvian ‘shell company,’” the report said.

Those FBI sources charged Joe Biden met with Poroshenko “to protect the interests” of his son and, by extension, Zlochevsky, who was paying Hunter Biden $1 million per year from May 2014 to April 2019 to be on Burisma’s board.

The informant told the FBI two CIA officers took Zlochevsky to Yuriy Lutsenko, the prosecutor general of Ukraine, and “The CIA officers allegedly said Zlochevsky is protected by the U.S. and urged Lutsenko to stop the investigation on Zlochevsky and let him back into Ukraine. A deal was made, so Zlochevsky could pay $3 million in damages to get back into Ukraine.”

Other business deals benefitting the Bidens also were alleged.

“We aren’t saying the allegations are true, we want to know what the FBI did to fully investigate their veracity or lack thereof, and what they concluded,” Grassley said. “Let’s put this matter to rest, one way or the other.”

Another FBI document, from 2017, said, “JOSEPH BIDEN would ‘take care’ of BURISMA HOLDING issues around the World and POROSHENKO would protect ZLOCHEVSKY.”

A previous FBI informant document, released by Grassley two years ago, had an informant claiming Joe and Hunter Biden each took a $5 million bribe from Zlochevsky to “protect” Burisma from a corruption probe. That information later pleaded guilty to making false statements and was sentenced to prison, although his prosecution later was put under a review.

Biden, as vice president, pressured Ukrainian officials to fire a Ukrainian prosecutor in December 2015 by threatening to withhold up to $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees. The prosecutor was ousted months later by a vote of the nation’s parliament.

Joe Biden then bragged about how he’d used the power of the American taxpayer purse to coerce Ukrainian officials to do his bidding regarding Burisma.

Grassley confirmed in a Tuesday hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel 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.”

Senate investigators earlier confirmed that Joe Biden was made Obama’s “public face” for Ukraine issues just as Hunter Biden and a friend were put on the payroll of the Burisma board.

There also have been allegations of Hunter Biden receiving a luxury car, and a huge diamond, amid his involvement in Ukraine.

And Hunter Biden was embroiled in a tax case, partly involving payments from Burisma, when at the close of Joe Biden’s term in the White House, he issued a presidential pardon to hin some for all crimes committed.
