Bidens ‘Coerced’ Ukrainian Oligarch to Pay Them $10 Million in Bribes, Credible FBI Source Alleges
Democrat President Joe Biden and his son Hunter “coerced” a wealthy Ukrainian oligarch into paying them $10 million in bribes, a credible FBI source has alleged.
The allegation is revealed in the FBI’s FD-1023 confidential human source (CHS) report, a redacted version of which was reviewed by House investigators last week.
According to a new report from the Federalist, individuals familiar with the investigation into the FBI’s handling of the FD-1023 have revealed new details about the alleged bribery scheme.
After previously denying its existence, the FBI was forced to allow House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and his team to review the FD-1023 after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that he had already read the file.
On Monday, Grassley revealed a foreign national allegedly possessed 17 recordings implicating the Bidens in a pay-to-play scandal, as Slay News reported.
The foreign individual has since been identified by individuals with knowledge of the matter as Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky.
While 15 of the audio recordings consisted of phone calls between Zlochevsky and Hunter Biden, two were of calls the Ukrainian had with then-Vice President Joe Biden, according to the FD-1023.
Hunter Biden was hired as a board member of Burisma Holdings while his father served as Obama’s vice president.
The company paid Hunter tens of thousands of dollars per month despite his total lack of experience in the energy industry.
The Federalist has now learned the FD-1023 reported the CHS saying the Bidens “coerced” Zlochevsky to pay the bribes.
Sources familiar with the investigation also explained the context of Zlochevsky’s statements, and that context further bolsters the CHS’s reporting.
In the FD-1023 from June 30, 2020, the confidential human source summarized earlier meetings he had with Zlochevsky.
According to the CHS, in the 2015-2016 timeframe, the CHS, who was providing advice to Zlochevsky, told the Burisma owner to stay away from the Bidens.
Then, after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential contest, the CHS asked Zlochevsky if he was upset Trump won.
Zlochevsky allegedly told the CHS he was dismayed by Trump’s victory.
He reportedly stated that he feared an investigation would reveal his payments to the Biden family.
Those payments allegedly included a $5 million payment to Hunter Biden and a $5 million payment to Joe Biden.
According to the CHS, the Burisma executive bemoaned the situation, claiming the Bidens had “coerced” him into paying the bribes.
The CHS responded that he hoped Zlochevsky had taken precautions to protect himself.
Zlochevsky then allegedly detailed the steps he had taken to avoid detection.
He stressed that he had never paid the “Big Guy” directly and gloated that it would take some 10 years to unravel the various money trails.
It was only then that Zlochevsky mentioned the audio recordings he had made of the conversations he had with Hunter and Joe Biden, according to the CHS.
The broader context of this conversation adds to the plausibility of Zlochevsky’s claims that he possessed recordings implicating the Bidens.
Grassley and Comer have already revealed that the FBI considered the CHS, who relayed Zlochevsky’s claims to the FBI, a “highly credible” source.
Further, according to individuals familiar with the investigation, the FBI admitted the CHS’s intel was unrelated to the information Rudy Giuliani had provided the Western District of Pennsylvania’s U.S. attorney’s office — the office then-Attorney General William Barr had tasked with reviewing any new information related to Ukraine.
Sources told The Federalist that investigators out of the Pittsburgh office, in addition to reviewing Giuliani’s information, searched internal FBI databases.
Investigators then came across an earlier FD-1023 related to the CHS.
That earlier FD-1023 then led to agents questioning the CHS on June 30, 2020, uncovering the details concerning Burisma’s alleged bribery of the Bidens.
What the FBI did to investigate the allegations is unknown, with sources telling The Federalist the bureau refused to either confirm or deny that the DOJ under Barr sent the FD-1023 to Delaware for further investigation.
On the contrary, the FBI allowed Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, to falsely represent to Americans that Barr and Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney Scott Brady had closed the investigation.
Raskin’s deceit, tolerated by the FBI, forced Barr to publicly correct the record.
The FBI is also refusing to provide any information on what, if any, steps it took to investigate the detailed claims contained in the FD-1023.
However, sources familiar with investigative procedures maintain there was insufficient time between the June 30, 2020, interview of the CHS and the FBI headquarters’ closing of an assessment related to the FD-1023 in August 2020 to properly probe the matter.
“They couldn’t have done much,” one source reportedly told the Federalist.
There is also no independent confirmation from Delaware indicating any investigative steps were taken regarding the FD-1023.
Agents in Delaware “could have sat on it,” according to one individual familiar with the investigation.
While the FBI’s efforts to unwind the pay-to-play scheme seem to have been nonexistent, banking records released in May by the House Oversight Committee show congressional investigators are unraveling the complex web behind the Biden family business.
Those records provide concrete evidence of a pattern of public corruption involving foreign nationals, with Joe Biden at the helm.
There are still more banking records to review, along with the many details recently discovered when the whistleblower came forward with the FD-1023.
Apparently, Zlochevsky wasn’t far from the mark when he said it would take 10 years to unravel the complex payment path that led to Joe Biden.
