   "WASHINGTON – Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member and long-time whistleblower advocate Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today are demanding the FBI produce an unclassified record alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. The document, an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions. Comer issued a subpoena today following legally protected disclosures to Grassley’s office.
   
   “We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States. What we don’t know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI’s recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight,” Grassley said.
   
   “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. Senator Grassley and I will seek the truth to ensure accountability for the American people,” Comer said.
   
   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."
   
   The subpoena requires the FBI to produce in unredacted form all FD-1023s that contain the word “Biden” and all accompanying attachments and documents.

   "A pair of top Republicans in Congress issued a subpoena for records they say might detail a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national—a claim the White House characterized as "unfounded" and motivated by political bias.
   
   Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and Kentucky Representative James Comer on Wednesday issued a subpoena with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeking an unclassified record called an FD-1023 form that they say allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions.
   
   "The information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then-Vice President Biden allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national," Comer said in a statement announcing the subpoena. "The American people need to know if President Biden sold out the United States of America to make money for himself. Senator Grassley and I will seek the truth to ensure accountability for the American people."
   
   However, he expressed concern over so-called "political bias" impacting previous investigations related to the Biden family's foreign business arrangements and bank records, citing recent revelations that several members of the Biden family and their companies had received more than $1 million from a Chinese company through a third party.
   
   Notably, that alleged cover-up took place during the Trump administration, while the White House previously characterized the Republican narrative as "baseless."
   
   Under questioning by Senate Republicans last summer against claims that biased FBI agents shielded Biden's son, Hunter, from criminal investigations related to his business dealings, FBI Director Christopher Wray characterized the allegations as "deeply troubling" during a hearing on Capitol Hill.
   
   Wray later said the incident was "not representative of the FBI," which he described as an office full of "patriots working their tails off with tremendous integrity and objectivity."
   
   Grassley, who initially led the allegations against Wray's FBI, called Wednesday's subpoena an effort to introduce more oversight over the agency by Congress.
   
   "The FBI's recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight," Grassley said.
   
   The White House blasted the investigation in an emailed statement to Newsweek, calling the subpoena little more than an effort to malign the administration with allegations they say are unsupported by fact.
   
   "For going on five years now, Republicans in Congress have been lobbing unfounded, unproven, politically-motivated attacks against the President and his family without offering evidence for their claims or evidence of decisions influenced by anything other than U.S. interests," Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, told Newsweek in the statement. "That's because they prefer floating anonymous innuendo, amplified by the megaphone of their allies in rightwing media, to get attention and try to distract and deflect from their own unpopular ideas and lack of solutions to the issues the American people actually care about.
   
   "When it comes to President Biden's personal finances, anybody can take a look. He has offered an unprecedented level of transparency, releasing a total of 25 years of tax returns to the American public." Please read on

   "The subpoenaed document allegedly relates to a criminal scheme involving the exchange of money for policy decisions.
   
   Pressed further by the reporter for the country or policy decision relevant to the subpoena, Kirby once again replied negatively and then ended his question period.
   
   "I have nothing for you, sir. I'm gonna have to refer you to the Justice Department," Kirby told the press before exiting.
   
   "And I'm getting the hook," he joked. "See ya!"

   It would seem that the Republicans are repeating what the Dems did to Trump. I mean once again a big splashy news report lacking evidence.
