FBI Has Info on Biden Family from Over 40 Confidential Sources

Fox News reported that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that the FBI had over 40 confidential human sources providing information related to the Biden family, including President Joe Biden, during his time as vice president. These sources contributed to investigations into Joe Biden, James Biden and Hunter Biden. Grassley's letter to the Attorney General and FBI Director detailed efforts by an FBI task force to discredit and halt the reporting from these sources, claiming foreign disinformation.

More from Fox News:

"An essential question that must be answered is this: did the FBI investigate the information or shut it down?" Grassley wrote, noting that if those sources were "improperly shut down, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for the FBI."

One critical FD-1023 in question was first reported on by Fox News Digital earlier this year. That form included reporting from a "highly-credible" confidential human source who alleged a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and the founder and CEO of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky.

The form details multiple meetings and conversations the source had with a top executive of Burisma Holdings over the course of several years starting in 2015. Hunter Biden, at the time, sat on the board of Burisma.

The source told the FBI that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden allegedly "coerced" Zlochevsky to pay them millions of dollars in exchange for their help in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company, Viktor Shokin, fired.

The White House has denied the allegations.

But that form and those allegations are "part of an ongoing investigative matter," which Grassley says indicates "its investigative credibility and authenticity."

Senator Grassley called for answers about the FBI's handling of the investigations, writing, “Our Republic cannot survive such a political infection and you have an obligation to this country to clear the air.”
