Jim Jordan Requests Confidential FBI File in Biden Bribe Investigation
The file could provide crucial information for impeachment proceedings against President Biden and investigations into Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings.
- House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is requesting another confidential informant file from FBI Director Christopher Wray, related to an alleged $10 million bribe paid to Joe and Hunter Biden by the owner of Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings.
- The file, dated March 1, 2017, may contain crucial information for the committee's investigation of Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings and impeachment proceedings against President Biden.
- The 2020 FBI informant file, released last year, contained allegations that the president and his son coerced Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky into paying them each $5 million to get Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired in early 2016.
- Jordan intends to subpoena the informant file if the FBI does not comply with the January 19 deadline.
- Hunter Biden, who sat on the board of Burisma from 2014 to 2019, is currently facing both federal and congressional investigations into his foreign business affairs and has been indicted on tax fraud charges in Los Angeles and weapons charges in Delaware.
