House Judiciary Committee Cchair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is asking the FBI to hand over another confidential informant file related to an alleged $10 million bribe to Hunter and Joe Biden by the owner of Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma.
In a Thursday letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Jordan requested a March 1, 2017, file from a confidential source that could contain "crucial" information to the committee's probe of Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings and impeachment proceedings against President Biden, the New York Post reported.
Jordan said the file "resulted in the creation of now publicly available [report], dated June 30, 2020, containing information implicating then-Vice President Biden in a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme" and was "necessary" for his committee's work. He also set a Jan. 19 deadline.
"The Committee requires this document to evaluate whether sufficient grounds exist to consider drafting articles of impeachment," the letter states, the Daily Caller reported.
The FBI's documents — known as FD-1023 — are used by agents to record information provided by confidential human sources without coming to conclusions about the validity of the information.
Jordan cited testimony from former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania Scott Brady, who spoke with lawmakers in October about his responsibilities vetting Ukraine-related information in 2020 under then-Attorney General Bill Barr's orders, the Caller reported, citing a transcript it had reviewed.
Brady revealed to lawmakers that the source of a June 2020 FD-1023 document featuring the Biden bribery allegations was a trusted confidential human source who had previously worked for the FBI.
Jordan's letter to Wray features excerpts of Brady's testimony, in which he describes his discovery of the 2017 FD-1023 document and how it resulted in a June 2020 FD-1023.
"Prior to Mr. Brady's engagement on the 2017 FD-1023, the FBI knew that it had a [confidential human source] that had information related to Hunter Biden's work on Burisma's Board of Directors, but it was not until U.S. Attorney Brady and his team found this link that the FBI reached out to the [source] for additional information," the letter asserts.
"Based on the information in the 2020 FD-1023 and Mr. Brady's testimony on the [source]'s credibility, it is crucial for the Committee to obtain the original 2017 FD-1023. Because the 2020 FD-1023 includes such serious allegations of bribery and the involvement of President Biden in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings and because material in the 2017 FD-1023 led to the development of the 2020 FD-1023, the Committee needs access" to that one as well, the letter concludes.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the June 2020 form in July; it describes Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky's alleged boasts about bribing the Bidens with $5 million each, the Caller reported.
The FBI allegedly received "criminal information" on the Biden family from over 40 confidential human sources, Grassley said in an October letter to Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Caller reported.
Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to tax changes.
