A paid informant told the FBI that an executive from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma has documents proving he bribed President Biden with $5 million while he was vice president.
The “trusted” and “highly credible” FBI informant said Burisma paid the bribe between 2015 and 2016 to solicit then-Vice President Biden’s help in thwarting a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the company, The Washington Times has confirmed.
In response to these allegations, the GOP-led panel plans a round of subpoenas in the coming days that will seek new financial documents from Biden family associates, sources told The Times. The bribery scheme took place between 2015 and 2016, the informant said, when Burisma was “looking to buy a U.S.-based oil and gas company” and wanted to “make the problems go away” with Mr. Shokin.
The FBI first heard the informant’s bribery claims in 2017 and they re-interviewed him about the matter in 2020. Separately, two IRS whistleblowers claim the Justice Department is intentionally slow-walking the Hunter Biden investigation and providing the president’s son with preferential treatment.“Where’s the money? I’m joking. It’s a bunch of malarkey,” Mr. Biden said at the end of a press conference Thursday with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Democrats say the investigation is politically motivated and has come up empty. They say the bribery charges were ginned up by Rudy Giuliani, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, and were dismissed by the FBI as groundless. Mr. Shokin was fired without Mr. Biden’s involvement and due to his failure to prosecute corruption cases, Democrats say.
