Pelican State News

WASHINGTON – Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and fellow Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on June21 asked FBI Director Christopher Wray for an unredacted version of the document that contains allegations of corruption against the Biden family.

The whistleblower disclosures indicate that the FBI has an unclassified FD-1023 form that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. The allegation involves the exchange of money for policy decisions.  

“At first, the FBI refused to even acknowledge the existence of the FD-1023, until Senator Grassley and Chairman Comer informed you during a May 31, 2023, phone call that they’ve reviewed it pursuant to lawful whistleblower disclosures. Moreover, on that call, you failed to describe any steps the FBI has taken to investigate the matter,” wrote the senators.

The redacted version of the document that the FBI made available to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability for review failed to disclose the existence of an alleged 15 recordings between the foreign national and Hunter Biden and two recordings with then-Vice President Biden. 

“Notably, based on the whistleblower disclosures to Senator Grassley, the source of the FD-1023 has been paid at least $200,000 from the FBI since the investigation was opened and operational. This indicates the government finds the individual to be credible,” the lawmakers continued. 

“The allegations contained in the FD-1023 raise serious concerns. As Ranking Member Graham noted, we as a Committee ‘have an obligation to answer these questions.’ Unfortunately, the FBI’s conduct to this point has not allowed us to do so. In light of the continued failure to transparently address the unclassified FD-1023, we are requesting that the FBI immediately produce an unredacted version directly to the Senate Judiciary Committee and describe, in detail, the steps it has taken to investigate all allegations in the document including whether it is within the scope of U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s review,” the senators concluded.
