Congress Denied Access to FBI Informant File Accusing Biden of Accepting Bribes During Vice Presidency

Summary

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has refused to provide Congress with an informant file that alleges that Joe Biden, the current President of the United States, took bribes when he was the Vice President. The file was requested by two Republican senators, Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley, who are investigating allegations of corruption against the Bidens. The FBI’s refusal has raised concerns about the agency’s impartiality and its willingness to cooperate with Congress.

The informant file was provided to the FBI by a former business partner of Hunter Biden, the President’s son. The file alleges that Hunter Biden and his associates received millions of dollars in bribes from foreign entities while Joe Biden was the Vice President. The file also alleges that Joe Biden was aware of the bribes and may have received a share of them. The FBI has refused to provide the file to Congress, citing ongoing investigations and concerns about the confidentiality of informants.

The FBI’s refusal has been criticized by Republicans, who argue that the agency is protecting the Bidens and obstructing Congress’s oversight function. Senator Johnson has accused the FBI of „stonewalling“ and „covering up“ evidence of corruption. He has also suggested that the FBI may be biased against Republicans and may be trying to influence the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. Democrats have dismissed the allegations of corruption as baseless and politically motivated.

Impartiality of the FBI

The FBI’s refusal to provide the informant file has raised concerns about the agency’s impartiality and its willingness to cooperate with Congress. Some Republicans have accused the FBI of being biased against them and of protecting the Bidens. They argue that the agency’s refusal to provide the file is evidence of a cover-up and a lack of transparency. Democrats, on the other hand, have defended the FBI’s actions, arguing that the agency is simply following standard procedures and protecting the confidentiality of informants.

The FBI has a long history of investigating allegations of corruption and other crimes against public officials. However, the agency has also been criticized for its handling of high-profile cases, such as the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Some Republicans have accused the FBI of being biased against Donald Trump and of trying to influence the outcome of the election.

Conclusion

The FBI’s refusal to provide Congress with the informant file alleging that Joe Biden took bribes as Vice President has raised concerns about the agency’s impartiality and its willingness to cooperate with Congress. Republicans have accused the FBI of protecting the Bidens and obstructing Congress’s oversight function. Democrats have defended the FBI’s actions, arguing that the agency is simply following standard procedures and protecting the confidentiality of informants.

The allegations of corruption against the Bidens are likely to remain a contentious issue in the upcoming presidential election. Republicans are likely to continue to press for an investigation into the allegations, while Democrats are likely to dismiss them as politically motivated. The FBI’s role in the investigation is likely to be closely scrutinized, and its impartiality and willingness to cooperate with Congress will be important factors in determining the outcome of the investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigations defied a legally binding subpoena issued by Congress requiring it turn over an informant file alleging Joe Biden took bribes as Vice President. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued the subpoena last week requiring the FBI hand over the file by Wednesday, May 10. Instead of turning over the file, the FBI responded with a letter contending it will continue to withhold it from Congress to protect “confidential human sources.” “Information from confidential human sources is unverified and, by definition, incomplete,” wrote FBI acting assistant director for congressional affairs Christopher Dunham. “As is clear from the name itself, confidentiality is definitional to the FBI’s Confidential Human Source program,” Dunham wrote. “Confidential human sources often provide information to the FBI
