Burisma Executive Allegedly Kept “Insurance Policy” In Joe Biden Bribery Scheme, Senator Says


According to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the Burisma executive who allegedly paid Joe Biden $5 million in a bribery scheme kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with Joe and Hunter Biden as an “insurance policy.”

Grassley cited a redacted reference to the FBI document alleging the Joe Biden bribery scheme involving a foreign national.

“According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses fifteen audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden. According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then-Vice President Joe Biden,” Grassley said.

Last week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said “this source that came forward is a paid informant by the FBI.”

Greene suggested the payments, $5 million to one Biden and $5 million to another Biden, were a bribe to end the investigation into Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company Hunter Biden served on the board.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) said the House of Representatives will “absolutely” impeach Joe Biden over the alleged $5 million bribery scheme.

Fox News reports:

Grassley said the recordings were “allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot.”

“The 1023 also indicates that then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burisma employing Hunter Biden,” Grassley said.

Grassley demanded answers on “what, if anything has the Justice Department and FBI done to investigate?”

“The Justice Department and FBI must show their work,” Grassley said. “They no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt.”

The FBI brought the document to Capitol Hill last week after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer subpoenaed it last month. The FBI briefed Comer and committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., on the form in a SCIF on Capitol Hill, but did not turn over the document. Comer threatened to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress.

The FBI made a further accommodation and later brought the form to a secure setting on Capitol Hill for all Oversight Committee members to view, but the document is still not in the committee’s possession.

A source familiar told Fox News Digital on Monday that the FBI did not redact the section of the FD-1023 referencing the audio recordings when showing the document to solely to Comer and Raskin, but did so for the full committee briefing. The source said Grassley and Comer had already seen the form, even prior to the FBI sharing it with Congress.
