Lawmaker reveals details of Burisma-Biden bribe allegation in secret FBI document -
According to a paid FBI informant considered both “trusted” and “highly credible,” a foreign national told him that he provided $5 million to then-Vice President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and another $5 million to a second, unnamed Biden family member.
The president also defended the independence of the Justice Department as it targets former President Donald Trump in two separate investigations. The revelations in the FBI document provide new details about allegations that have been circulating for years, involving claims that then-Vice President Biden worked to get Mr. Shokin fired on behalf of Hunter Biden, who at the time was paid a million-dollar annual salary to serve on Burisma’s board.
Some of the early allegations regarding the Burisma bribes came from Rudy Giuliani, a close ally of former President Trump, and have been discredited by Democrats, who say Mr. Shokin was fired without Mr. Biden’s involvement and due to his failure to prosecute corruption cases. The Oversight panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, dismissed the allegations against Mr. Biden in the FBI memo as lies provided by Mr. Giuliani that have been rejected by the FBI as groundless.
