U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) took to Twitter on Friday to criticize the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump. In his tweet, Biggs stated that the Republican party has entered a “war phase.” He further emphasized his previous call for the impeachment of Joe Biden, which came shortly after the release of a document that revealed a criminal bribery scheme involving Ukrainian gas company Burisma and Biden.
“We have now reached a war phase,” Biggs wrote in a tweet Friday. “Eye for an eye.”
Later, in a follow-up tweet, he clarified his earlier statement, affirming that Republicans should respond to the unprecedented indictment by voting to impeach Joe Biden. Biggs pointed to the FBI’s FD-1023 form as an indication of then-Vice President Joe Biden’s involvement in an international bribery scheme. He claimed that “the evidence is already mounting and there is still more to come. Quid pro quo Joe must be impeached.”
Watch:
The politically motivated indictment comprising 37 counts against President Trump coincided with the long-awaited release of a key document by the FBI, which pertains to a bribery scheme involving Joe Biden.
Following a thorough examination of the document, several Republican members of the House Oversight Committee have claimed that it provides evidence of a quid pro quo arrangement, wherein Burisma Holdings paid $5 million to Biden while his crackhead son, Hunter Biden, served on the company’s board.
During a press conference Thursday, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) asserted that the activities detailed in the document were “definitely illegal.”
“Reading this form today shows the pure distinction. This information, this source that came forward, it’s a paid informant by the FBI,” said MTG. She made it clear that the information in question was unrelated to the claims brought forward by Rudy Giuliani in 2020 and “extremely credible.”
“Basically, what’s happening there is back in 2015-2016, Burisma was looking to buy a U.S.-based oil and gas company, and this came from being advised by Hunter Biden and his partners,” MTG explained.
She also detailed claims of explicit bribes, alleging Burisma paid $5 million to two members of the Biden family. According to Greene, these payments were intended to secure the removal of Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. She went on to suggest that bribery is a prevalent practice in Ukraine and Russia, often factored into budgeting for business transactions.
In 2016, Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian government to fire Shokin, who was investigating Burisma’s leadership for corruption.
In 2018, Joe Biden was caught on video bragging about withholding $1 billion from Ukraine until they fired Shokin.

“Donor Burisma said that Hunter was stupid and that his other business partner was smart. He also said that he paid five million to one Biden, and he paid five million to another Biden,” she stated.
Greene continued summarizing the alleged illegal activities, explaining that hiring Hunter Biden to solve Burisma’s legal problems was “definitely illegal for a vice president of the United States and their family members.” She added that the owner of Burisma was not pleased when Trump won the presidency, as he had invested a lot of money into the Bidens to “make his problems go away.”
