President Joe Biden ignored a reporter’s inquiry regarding the alleged existence of audio recordings of him and his son made by an executive of a Ukrainian energy company where Hunter Biden served as a board member and earned tens of thousands of dollars per month.
Monday, Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley disclosed in a floor speech that a Burisma executive who allegedly paid then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as a “insurance policy.”
“Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed from the Senate floor Monday what was said to be a redacted reference in the FBI-generated FD-1023 form alleging a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national that involved influence over U.S. policy decisions. Grassley said the FD-1023 has a redacted reference that the Burisma executive possesses fifteen audio recordings of phone calls between himself and Hunter Biden,” Fox News reported.
“According to Grassley, the FD-1023 also states that the executive possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between himself and then-Vice President Joe Biden. The recordings were allegedly kept as an “insurance policy” for the foreign national in case he was in some type of ‘tight spot,’ a source told Fox News Digital,” the outlet added.
“The FD-1023 also alleges that then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burisma bringing his son, Hunter Biden, onto the board. The FBI brought the document to Capitol Hill last week after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer subpoenaed it. The FBI briefed Comer and committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., on the form. The FBI later brought the form to a secure setting on Capitol Hill for all Oversight Committee members to view,” the outlet continued.
As he exited a meeting with U.S. diplomats in the White House’s East Room on Wednesday, a reporter asked Biden whether the allegations were genuine.
“Are there tapes that you accepted bribes, President Biden? Is that true?” the reporter asked.
Biden grinned and then turned away.

In the meantime, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer stated earlier this week that the FBI is investigating Biden for bribery.
During an interview on “Sunday Night in America,” Comer and host Trey Gowdy discussed the ongoing House Republican investigation into Biden and his family’s alleged business dealings. Comer said the FBI told him that Biden is “currently under investigation for bribery.”
Comer discussed the unclassified FD-1023 FBI form that allegedly implicated then-Vice President Joe Biden in a pay-to-play bribery conspiracy. Comer stated that FBI Director Christopher Wray “finally” acknowledged the existence of the form after Comer and Grassley claimed to have read the document, which was allegedly obtained from a whistleblower.
As vice president, Biden allegedly participated in unethical ‘pay-for-play’ schemes, according to evidence provided by a whistleblower. Since the Obama administration, the FBI has frequently utilized this source, which is considered “highly credible.”
