Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) are claiming that an internal FBI document contains evidence of a "criminal scheme" in which Biden participated, exchanging money for policy decisions when he was vice president.
"We have received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures, " said a letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray last week from the two lawmakers. "It has come to our attention that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) possess an unclassified FD-1023 form that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions. It has been alleged that the document includes a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose."

"We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States," said Grassley in a joint statement.
"The information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then-Vice President Biden allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national. The American people need to know if President Biden sold out the United States of America to make money for himself," added Comer.
A House Oversight Committee press release added:
Grassley has long raised concerns about political bias infecting high-level investigative decisions at the FBI, including investigations related to the Biden family’s foreign business arrangements and bank records. While FBI Director Christopher Wray pledged to prevent any retaliation targeting whistleblowers, the FBI and Justice Department have thus far refused to voluntarily provide responsive records or answers to congressional inquiries related to its handling of these politically sensitive investigations.
Comer and the Oversight Committee are investigating the Biden family’s suspicious business schemes to determine if the Biden family has been targeted by foreign actors, if President Biden is compromised, and if there is a national security threat. The Oversight Committee has obtained thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions. Recently, the Committee revealed one deal that resulted in several members of the Biden family and their companies receiving over $1 million in more than 15 incremental payments from a Chinese company through a third party.
Comer issued Wray a subpoena to appear before his committee on May 10.
Meanwhile, Just the News reported on Monday that a respected former federal prosecutor approached the U.S. Justice Department in the fall of 2018 on behalf of a foreign witness. The witness claimed to have evidence that Joe Biden had "exercised influence to protect" his son's employer in Ukraine and, in return, received money for his family.
The ex-prosecutor's offer was not taken up by the agency, but a year later, the DOJ secretly obtained his phone records, presumably to identify his contacts, the outlet reported.
Retired U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins from Little Rock, Arkansas, wrote a letter to then-New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman on October 4, 2018, stating that then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko was willing to travel to the United States to present evidence about the Bidens and Burisma Holdings.
Lutsenko believes "VP Biden (and Sec State Kerry) exercised influence to protect Burisma Holdings in exchange for payments to Hunter Biden, (business partner) Devon Archer, and Joe Biden," Cummins emailed Berman.
Nothing was done, though, even when Trump was in office.
