Jordan seeks second FBI document about Biden family bribery allegations

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has formally requested the FBI produce a second known form that details allegations of payments to the Biden family from foreign entities according to a confidential human source. 

The form,FD-1023, is a document generated by the FBI “to record unverified reporting from a confidential human source.”

"Pursuant to the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Biden, as well as the Committee’s Constitutional oversight authority over the Department of Justice, we write to request that you produce an FBI FD-1023 form (“FD-1023”) dated March 1, 2017, concerning a confidential human source (CHS) report about payments made to the Biden family from foreign entities," Chairman Jordan wrote in a letter Thursday.

Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley previously released a second FD-1023 form – dated June 30, 2020 – that contained allegations of a bribery scheme directed at then-Vice President Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden, by the Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevksky.

According to the human source interviewed by the FBI, Zlochevsky allegedly said that he had to pay $5 million to Hunter Biden and another $5 million to Joe Biden to take care of the legal issues plaguing him and his company. 

The 2017 FD-1023 was brought to the attention of the House committee through an interview with former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania Scott Brady, a DOJ official tasked with vetting Ukraine-related information.

This discovery of the 2017 FD-1023 led to the development of the 2020 document, which contained the allegations of bribery from foreign sources against the Biden family, and is therefore central to the impeachment investigation, Jordan said in the letter.
