President Joe Biden is facing the prospect of impeachment by Republicans in Congress amid as-yet unspecified allegations of a "criminal scheme" involving bribery and an unnamed foreign individual.
Senator Chuck Grassley and Representative James Comer, both Republicans, are demanding that the FBI produce an unclassified record "alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national."
Comer, who is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, has issued a subpoena to the FBI seeking an unclassified FD-1023 document that a whistleblower has told the Republicans exists.
The FBI was given until May 10 to comply with the subpoena, though it was not clear what information the document might contain.
No specific allegations have been made against Biden but the record in question "allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions," according to a press release from Grassley and Comer last week.
White House spokesman Ian Sams strongly criticized the Republicans in a statement shared with Newsweek last Wednesday, saying they were "floating anonymous innuendo, amplified by the megaphone of their allies in right-wing media, to get attention and try to distract and deflect from their own unpopular ideas and lack of solutions to the issues the American people actually care about."
