Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a former attorney for former President Donald Trump, claimed in an interview with Newsmax that the Department of Justice concealed evidence of a pay-to-play scheme purportedly carried out by President Joe Biden.
In reference to his investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, which resulted in the indictment of the former president, Giuliani stated on “Saturday Report” that special counsel Jack Smith “said that in the United States, there is one system of laws and it… applies equally to everyone”
“Well, of course, that’s the most ridiculous, idiotic statement to make on a day in which we find out that the Bidens took a $10 million bribe fom a Ukrainian Mykola Zlochevsky, which I could have told you, you know, and did tell [the DOJ] three years ago. And they followed up on none of the evidence I gave them. They were hoping that people would disappear or die. It’s extraordinary.”
According to Giuliani, he provided the DOJ with “one witness … who is a woman, who is the chief accountant at this crooked company, Burisma. She was the wife of the former owner, who died under suspicious circumstances. And she was willing to give up all of the offshore bank accounts, including the Bidens. And she’s supervised the transfer of a lot more cash to the Bidens and other crooked politicians for Burisma.”
Before former US Attorney General William Barr took the case away from him and gave it to the “US attorney in Delaware, who did nothing,” Giuliani continued, the Pittsburgh attorney general was conducting an investigation. In addition, the woman’s life was in jeopardy.
According to the New York Post, Giuliani made his remarks following a review of the FBI informant dossier accusing Biden of bribery by House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer, R-Kentucky, and the committee’s ranking Democrat, Jamie Raskin. Raskin asserted that, following the evaluation in 2020, federal investigators conducted a preliminary investigation but took no further action. Comer claimed that the FBI told him that the investigation was still ongoing, and former Attorney General Bill Barr refuted Raskin’s claim.
According to congressional Republicans who examined an FBI informant file accusing Vice President Biden of involvement in the $5 million bribery scheme, the Ukrainian company Burisma was implicated in the scheme. Biden responded sarcastically, “Where’s the money?”
