Senator Chuck Grassley and Representative James Comer 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.
In a joint statement on Wednesday, Sen. Grassley and Rep. Comer said “The DOJ and the FBI appear to have valuable, verifiable information that you have failed to disclose to the American people. Therefore, Congress will proceed to conduct an independent and objective review of this matter, free from those agencies’ influence.”
Daily Mail has the details:
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray Wednesday obtained by DailyMail.com, the top Republicans state that due to ‘credible’ whistleblower disclosures, they are seeking access to an internal ‘FBI-generated FD-1023 form’ through a subpoena.
The form allegedly details an ‘arrangement’ between Biden and an unnamed foreigner for an exchange of money for policy decisions, they say.
‘We have received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures. Based on those disclosures, it has come to our attention that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) possess an unclassified FD-1023 form that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions,’ the senators write.
‘It has been alleged that the document includes a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose.’
The lawmakers say that it ‘remains unclear what steps, if any, were taken to investigate the matter,’ which is concerning due to the ‘significant public interest’ in the FBI’s response.
They also say that there is [is] concern among Americans due to the ‘FBI’s track record of allowing political bias to infect their decision-making process, necessitate exacting congressional oversight.’
According to the subpoena, Wray has until May 10 to turn over the documents.
