Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Thursday released the now-infamous FBI form that contains a witness's account of President Joe Biden allegedly partaking in a bribery scheme when he was vice president. Grassley published in full the lightly redacted FD-1023 form, the contents of which several congressional Republicans have seen but that the public has not. The Iowa Republican accused the FBI in an accompanying statement of seeking to “obfuscate and redact” it before the bureau ultimately cooperated with congressional Republicans to show it to them. “The American people can now read this document for themselves, without the filter of politicians...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr has denied a claim by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) that the Justice Department in 2020 “terminated the investigation” into allegations that President Biden was involved in a $5 million bribery scheme during his days in the Obama White House. “It’s not true. It wasn’t closed down,” Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday of an FBI informant’s allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden took the money in exchange for policy decisions. “On the contrary, it was sent to Delaware for further investigation.” Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, claimed to reporters Monday that...

WASHINGTON — FBI Director Christopher Wray offered Wednesday to allow House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to privately review an informant file alleging President Biden was involved in bribery — as a top White House spokesman insisted there was “nothing to” the corruption claims. A source familiar with Wray’s early-afternoon call with Comer (R-Ky.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told The Post that the FBI chief confirmed the existence of an FD-1023 informant file from June 2020 accusing Biden of bribery and offered the lawmakers “in camera review” of the document. The FBI had refused to share the document following...

If the bombshells unleashed at Wednesday morning’s House Oversight Committee press conference had been about the corruption of a Republican president via millions of dollars in foreign bribes to his family, the clamor for impeachment would have been deafening. But Joe Biden has the protection of the Deep State and unscrupulous Democratic lawyers, so accountability will be slower, though no less certain, if Oversight Chairman James Comer continues his dogged pursuit of the money. Comer (R-Ky.) has delivered an astonishing forensic interim accounting of $10 million in payments from just two of the countries, Romania and China, which enriched the...

President Joe Biden and his family are at the center of an influence-peddling scheme in which they traded the patriarch’s decades of time in political offices to line their own pockets and then tried to cover up their profiteering with a myriad of complicated transactions and accounts, the House Oversight Committee confirmed during a press conference on Wednesday. With the help of whistleblowers and congressional subpoenas, Republicans are confidently reporting that the Bidens received at least $10 million worth of diluted payments from foreign companies during and after the president’s time in the Obama White House. These payments were diced...
