Last week, Breaking Digest reported that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed the FBI on Wednesday to produce a document that alleges Joe Biden was part of a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national back when he was vice president under Barack Obama.

The document describes, in detail, how Biden accepted money in exchange for foreign policy decisions.

It has been revealed that a highly respected former federal prosecutor approached the U.S. Department of Justice in 2018 about a witness who claimed to have evidence of Joe Biden’s bribery scheme.

Retired federal prosecutor Bud Cummins reportedly wrote then-New York U.S. Attorney Geoff Berman in October 2018 that then-Ukraine Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko was willing to travel to the United States to present evidence about the Bidens and Burisma Holdings.

Cummins claimed in an email that he had evidence that Joe Biden had “exercised influence to protect” his son’s Ukrainian employer “in exchange for payments to Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, and Joe Biden.”

The DOJ ignored Cummins’ offer, and instead secretly obtained his phone records a year later in an apparent effort to identify his contacts.

Cummins told Just the News and the New York Post that he felt like he was “stonewalled.”

“I can’t really imagine a legitimate reason for the DOJ not to follow up on an offer like that,” he said. “I felt like it was stonewalled.”

Cummins said he was even more stunned late last year when he got a belated notice from Apple that federal prosecutors obtained data in 2019 from his iPhone with a grand jury subpoena.

Cummins said the secret search of his phone felt like “retaliation.”

“It doesn’t make much sense to investigate the guy who brings you the allegation rather than the allegation,” he said.

Here are the details via Just the News:

The agency didn’t take up the ex-prosecutor on his offer but instead secretly obtained his phone records a year later in an apparent effort to identify his contacts.

Retired Little Rock, Ark., U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins wrote then-New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman on Oct. 4, 2018 that then-Ukraine Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko was willing to travel to the United States to present evidence about the Bidens and Burisma Holdings.

Lutsenko believes “VP Biden (and Sec State Kerry) exercised influence to protect Burisma Holdings in exchange for payments to Hunter Biden, (business partner) Devon Archer, and Joe Biden,” Cummins emailed Berman.

Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer were both hired to the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas firm, in spring 2014 while Joe Biden was vice president and in charge of U.S.-Ukraine policy.

The hiring raised eyebrows since the gas company was considered corrupt by the U.S. State Department and State officials have testified they believed the hiring of the VP’s son created the appearance of a conflict of interest.

In a series of emails, Cummins said Lutsenko could produce two “John Doe” witnesses who could corroborate the claims, including that some of the money Burisma paid to Hunter Biden as a board member for Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky’s firm benefited Joe Biden.
