Grassley Releases Declassified FBI Informant Files Alleging New Burisma Bribery Claims

The raw informant reports are unverified, and their credibility faces fresh scrutiny following a prior FBI source’s conviction for fabricating related allegations.

Overview

  • Sen. Chuck Grassley published 2017 and 2019 FD-1023 forms detailing confidential-source allegations that Joe and Hunter Biden were linked to bribery tied to Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.
  • One informant alleged Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky sought to pay then‑President Petro Poroshenko $100 million for protection, with purported Biden financial interests routed through a Latvian shell company.
  • The materials include claims that Joe Biden met Poroshenko to protect his son’s interests and that U.S. intelligence officials helped shield Zlochevsky from Ukrainian prosecutors.
  • A 2019 report also described a reverse merger involving Texas-based CUB Energy as part of a broader money‑laundering scheme benefiting Zlochevsky and involving Biden associates.
  • Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson say three separate FBI confidential sources have raised related concerns, while noting they seek answers on what investigative steps the bureau took after the reports.
