On Tuesday night, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed that the bribery scheme allegations against Joe Biden involve a businessperson from Ukraine and that the FBI ignored a highly credible tip in 2017.
Rep. Comer told Just The News that the version of the informant report that FBI Director Chris Wray allowed him to view had about 10% of information redacted and made it clear that the allegations were first reported to the FBI back in 2017.
“This form 1023 involves a businessperson from Ukraine, who allegedly sent a bribe, a substantial bribe to then Vice President Joe Biden,” Comer told Just The News.
John Solomon asked Comer if the bribery allegations involved Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who hired Hunter Biden to serve on the board of Burisma Holdings.
Comer would not confirm to Just The News and said the name of the Ukrainian businessperson is redacted.
“I probably better punt on that question. The name was redacted,” Comer told John Solomon.
From Just The News:
Allegations that Joe Biden partook in a $5 million bribery scheme involve Ukraine where his son scored a lucrative energy job and were first presented to the FBI by a reliable and well-paid informant back in 2017, House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer told Just the News on Tuesday evening.
Comer made the bombshell revelation just a day after reviewing an FBI FD-1023 form that memorialized the informant’s allegations, and two days before he plans to hold a vote in Congress to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt for failing to provide a copy to his committee as demanded by a subpoena. He said the version of the informant report he was allowed to review by Wray had about 10% of information redacted and made clear the allegations were first reported to the FBI back in 2017 as Donald Trump was beginning his term as president.
…
But Comer said markings on the document he was shown – including footnotes – made clear the informant first provided the bribery allegations to the FBI in 2017 and then again one more time before he raised them a third time in the June 2020 informant report.
