Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, disclosed on Monday evening that the FBI is “afraid” that an informant who provided information about an alleged bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden would be “killed if unmasked.”
“Just left meeting for House Oversight. The FBI is afraid their informant will be killed if unmasked, based on the info he has brought forward about the Biden family,” Luna wrote.
A whistleblower who reportedly provided Republicans with evidence alleging Joe Biden was involved in corrupt ‘pay-for-play’ schemes as vice president has been frequently utilized by the FBI since the Obama administration and is regarded as “highly credible.”
According to Fox News, the individual has claimed that the former vice president “was involved in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national” and is a “FBI confidential human source…used by the bureau in multiple investigations dating back to” Barack Obama’s two terms in office.
The outlet also reported that House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Kentucky) and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) were recently contacted by a whistleblower who claimed the FBI possessed an FD-1023 form dated June 30, 2020, which allegedly contains explicit information provided by a confidential human source.
According to the source, the document details allegations that Biden was involved in a $5 million criminal bribery conspiracy during his tenure as vice president. According to Fox News, the conspiracy allegedly involved a foreign national and aimed to influence policy decisions.

A source with knowledge of the situation told Fox News Digital on Friday that the confidential human source who provided the information about Biden to the FBI is a “pre-existing” FBI source who has been utilized in numerous investigations unrelated to the Biden information.
The source also revealed that the FBI has utilized the confidential human source for “at least several years” prior to the creation of the June 2020 FD-1023 form detailing the Biden allegations.
Fox was also informed by the source that the confidential human source was “consistently reviewed by the FBI” and has always been “found to be extremely credible,” as well as having participated in multiple investigations conducted during the Obama administration.
“We are aware that the FBI has significant allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden. What were they planning to do with it? In an interview with Fox News, a Grassley spokesman asked, “Did they investigate the leads or sweep them under the rug?”
“This is precisely why we need to know what the FBI did with the document and why we must have access to it.” This has been Senator Grassley’s goal from the beginning,” the spokesman added.
“We are not out to get the FBI. We’re out to change the culture of the FBI at headquarters,” Grassley said in a recent interview, in reference to various and mounting instances of political bias in the FBI’s investigations, including the email scandal involving Hillary Clinton outlined by special counsel John Durham in his recent report.
Fox News noted additionally:
The information in the FD-1023 form, according to the whistleblower, reveals “a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose” and details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions.
