Chuck Grassley: FBI Had 40 Confidential Sources with ‘Criminal Information’ on the Biden Family
The FBI had more than 40 confidential sources with “criminal information” on Hunter, James, and President Joe Biden before political pressure might have caused an FBI investigation into the Bidens to be shut down “subject to foreign disinformation,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wrote in a Tuesday letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
The FBI ran the confidential human sources from multiple FBI field offices across the nation, including the FBI Seattle Field Office, FBI Baltimore Field Office, and FBI HQ holdings, Grassley stated.
“Based on the information provided to my office over a period of years by multiple credible whistleblowers, there appears to be an effort within the Justice Department and FBI to shut down investigative activity relating to the Biden family,” Grassley wrote.

House Committee on the Judiciary / YouTube“Such decisions point to significant political bias infecting the decision-making of not only the Attorney General and FBI Director but also line agents and prosecutors,” he added.
Grassley noted that Justice Department whistleblowers say one of the investigations into the Bidens entailed an FBI informant FD-1023 file that alleged Hunter and Joe Biden were each bribed $5 million.
Grassley released the FD-1023 file in July that alleged Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma Holdings, bribed Joe and Hunter Biden after then-Vice President Biden withheld aid to Ukraine until then-President Petro Poroshenko fired a prosecutor investigating Burisma.

C-SPAN“There is—and has been—an effort among certain Justice Department and FBI officials to improperly delay and stop full and complete investigative activity into the Biden family, including but not limited to FD-1023s referencing the Biden family,” the letter said.
“An essential question that must be answered is this: did the FBI investigate the information or shut it down?” Grassley wrote, raising the question that if those sources were “improperly shut down, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for the FBI.”
Fox News first reported Grassley’s letter.

Mike Johnson Strongly Supports Impeachment Inquiry into Joe Biden
Newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) is a strong advocate of the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden for his involvement in the Biden family business.
During a September House floor speech, Johnson eloquently articulated three reasons to justify the inquiry initially launched by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA):
There are three irrefutable facts that have taken us to this point: Number one, President Biden lied directly to the American people. Number two, President Biden’s family and their associates profited millions through shell companies. Number three, President Biden’s federal agencies are stonewalling our legitimate congressional inquiry.
Johnson, who served as vice chairman of the House Republican Conference and on the House Judiciary Committee, noted those facts are “just the tip of the iceberg”:
There are so many scandals; there’s so much corruption that’s been uncovered. Every stone that we overturn leads to more and more corruption. And because of that, Mr. Speaker, a lot of the American people are simply getting lost in the barrage of evidence, in the barrage of allegations of corruption and the evidence itself.
After defining key points in the investigation, Johnson also slammed the media for covering up the scandal. “And as expected, the D.C. and the national press corps have blindly accepted the White House’s spin, and they’re trying to convince the American people that our inquiry, even the impeachment inquiry, is illegitimate.” He then mocked several headlines written by establishment media outlets about the sandal:
From CNN, “The most predictable impeachment investigation in American history.” From Reuters, “McCarthy opens Long Shot impeachment probe of Biden.” From MSNBC, “McCarthy’s Biden impeachment inquiry is the Benghazi investigation on steroids.” These headlines are going to increase. We know what’s coming.
…
We know that they’re working against us, against the American people, in this case, and for the White House. They’re on their [White House] team.
Most recently, Johnson drew attention to the latest development in the probe, slamming Joe Biden for accepting a $200,000 check from James Biden, who claims the money was not a part of a business agreement with his brother.
“.@JoeBiden received $200k payment from his brother James— Hunter Biden’s business partner. My friend @RepJamesComer is taking the next steps for us to hold the President accountable for his influence peddling scheme,” Johnson said. “No one should get away with this— especially a President.”
Johnson also had the opportunity to question Attorney General Merrick Garland in September about IRS whistleblowers who claimed political appointees influenced the Justice Department’s probe into Hunter Biden. “Whistleblowers are lying to us under oath — those whistleblowers are lying?” Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) questioned Garland.
“Their description of the process, Congressman, is an opinion, not a fact question,” he replied.
“Have you had personal contact with anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter Biden investigation?” Johnson asked Garland.
“I don’t recollect the answer to that question, but the FBI works for the Justice Department,” he replied.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” Johnson interrupted. “You don’t recollect? You don’t recollect whether you’ve talked with anybody at FBI headquarters about an investigation of the president’s son?”
“I don’t believe that I did,” Garland affirmatively replied. “I promised the Senate when I came before it for confirmation that I would leave Mr. Weiss in place and that I would not interfere with his investigation.”
Among the allegations, the IRS whistleblowers alleged Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf refused to allow investigators to ask about Joe Biden being “the big guy,” the DOJ twice prevented now-Special Counsel David Weiss from bringing stronger charges against Hunter Biden, and the IRS recommended charges against Hunter Biden that were not approved by Garland.

MTG: House Investigators Have Hunter, James Biden’s Financials
House investigators probing President Joe Biden have Hunter and James Biden’s financial statements, which reveal that Joe Biden received a $200,000 payment from James Biden, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) exclusively told Breitbart News.
The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden’s financials on September 28 to further link Joe Biden to his family’s foreign deals.
The committee released evidence on Friday that James Biden wrote Joe Biden a $200,000 check in 2018. “This came from his financial statements — from Jim Biden’s financial statements,” Greene told Breitbart News.
“We also have Hunter Biden’s financial statements, and we look forward to putting out subpoenas on a lot more bank accounts that we have uncovered,” she said.
Greene characterized the payment as a “money laundering scheme” by “petty criminals who belong in jail.”

Matthew Perdie / Breitbart News, Jack Knudsen / Breitbart News“The money laundering scheme is the same type of money laundering scheme that many people have been put in jail for. What you do is you basically buy a company that’s going bankrupt or invest in a company that’s going bankrupt to save the company, and then you run money through it — through criminal enterprises,” she told Breitbart News. “In this case, that was selling out Joe Biden’s power and influence, and they received — it’s going to be hundreds of millions of dollars — it’s going to be a lot of money.”
“I’ll tell you why it’s elaborate,” she continued. “Because they have so many fake LLCs and so many bank accounts. That’s the elaborate part about it, but the truth is they are nothing more than petty criminals who belong in jail. Not just Joe Biden, Jim Biden also belongs in jail — and Hunter Biden — and it may extend into some of their spouses and further family members.”
“This also means Joe Biden is a criminal and should face criminal charges and should go to jail,” she reiterated. “It’s absolutely unbelievable, and they did this on the backs of the American people.”
Nine times, Joe Biden denied any involvement in the business. “Where is the money?” Joe Biden asked reporters in September. Comer believes he found some.

C-SPANGreene also stated the House committees should continue their investigation of the Bidens, even though the House remains without a Speaker.
“The important thing for people to know is regardless of this Speaker battle that we’re having, committees can keep doing their work, and they should,” she said. “They shouldn’t stop. And that’s why we’ve kept going on oversight because we feel this investigation is above the Speaker’s fight.”

‘Breaking Biden’ Author—Meet Jim Biden: Nightclub Owner, International Business Mogul, Joe’s Bagman
Seemingly his entire life, Joe Biden’s brother James “Jim” Biden has benefitted from his brother’s political status. At various moments, he has been a campaign finance maven, a nightclub owner, and a hedge fund mastermind. Jim appears to be a man who wears many hats; but in actuality, he only wears one: Joe Biden’s brother.
I detail many of the ways he has lived large thanks to his big bro in my new New York Times bestselling book Breaking Biden.
One place where James clearly leveraged his proximity to power for money was with Americore Health. Near the end of the Obama administration, James Biden joined Americore, which operated hospitals in several states.

James Biden’s experience in healthcare seems to be nonexistent (are you surprised?), but his value was still clear. Promoting himself as his brother Joe’s chief fundraiser, James Biden promised he could open doors and raise money from companies across the world, a including major Turkish conglomerate.
But the promised investments never materialized. In December 2019, Americore declared bankruptcy. Weeks later, the FBI raided an Americore office in Pennsylvania as part of an investigation into “white collar crimes.”
Politico reported in 2020 that Americore has been plagued with legal troubles due to mismanagement. Investors and partners in the company have sued over management, alleging false promises and the misappropriation of money. Most notably, James Biden is accused of fraudulently transferring funds from Americore “outside of the ordinary course of business.” In 2018, James took over a half-million dollars in personal loans from the company, according to a former executive, which may or may not have ever been repaid.
Last week, House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) revealed that in 2018, James Biden sent the now-president Joe Biden a $200,000 payment. The same day, James had received a $200,000 wire transfer from Americore.
“On March 1, 2018, Americore wired a $200,000 loan into James and Sara Biden’s personal bank account — not their business bank account,” Comer explained. “And then on the very same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check from this same personal bank account to Joe Biden.”
What a wild coincidence. Could these payments possibly be related?
One crucial detail is that these funds James got from Americore were quite possibly illicit.
“James Biden wrote this check to Joe Biden as a ‘loan repayment.’ Americore — a distressed company — loaned money to James Biden who then sent it to Joe Biden,” Comer said.
Getting the exact dollar amounts and dates of the transfer is significant. We independent investigators who look into the Bidens do not have access to bank records. You need government subpoena power to do that, which Comer has.
A $200,000 direct payment from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check dated March 1, 2018.
Despite Joe Biden’s repeated insistence that his personal finances and his family’s businesses are not intertwined, it’s patently obvious thats a flat out lie.
Next up: the committee ought to ask James exactly what he did for Americore and to explain the transfers both to him and to Joe.
Hopefully they broadcast the questioning. It could fetch a pretty penny on Pay-Per-View.
Naturally, this is not James Biden’s only blatant attempt to capitalize on the family name to bag cash. I document several others in Breaking Biden.
Inexplicable Business Ties to Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Beyond
On November 4, 2010, a longtime Biden family friend from Delaware, Kevin Justice, had a meeting in D.C. with the Office of the Vice President. At the time, Justice was the president of a construction company called HillStone International. A couple of weeks after the meeting, HillStone hired James as an executive vice president, despite the fact that James had no experience in the housing construction industry.
Do you notice the pattern?
(This deal is thoroughly documented in Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer’s book Profiles in Corruption.)

James’s company profile touted his only experience that really mattered: “James Biden was the finance chairman of his . . . brother’s bid for a U.S. Senate seat in Delaware and successfully enlisted the support of national unions, political leaders and financiers across the country.”
James joined HillStone at a fortuitous time: the firm was negotiating a massive contract in war-torn Iraq to build 100,000 homes. This was part of a $35 billion, 500,000-unit project, as Schweizer reported in Profiles in Corruption. HillStone also got a $22 million construction contract from the U.S. State Department. The company’s founder, David Richter, told investors at a private meeting that it really helps to have “the brother of the Vice President as partner.” For the years James worked with HillStone, the firm “accumulated contracts from the federal government for dozens of projects, including projects in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mozambique, and elsewhere.”
Yes, Mozambique… and “elsewhere.”
On February 14, 2023, the Daily Mail reported that James Biden admitted in legal filings that he was hired by Hill International, the parent company of HillStone, to “negotiate with Saudis over a secret $140 million deal” because of his relationship to Vice President Joe Biden, who at the time was leading delegations to Saudi Arabia.

The case documents reveal that on at least two occasions, “Jim told a former senior U.S. Treasury official working as a private investigator” that he was “often sent to meetings to represent Hill because ‘of course, the [Biden] name didn’t hurt.’” Hill CEO Irvin Richter further confided “that he selected Biden because KSA [the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia] would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal.”
Jim’s wife, Sara, also claimed in official affidavits that “Joe and his brother ‘told each other everything.’”
Lamentably, this influence peddling is as legal as it is flagrant.
In the system Joe Biden built, influence peddling is legal for anyone willing to put in a little effort to find one of any number of loopholes.
A Shocking Ukraine Connection
Despite being able to book gigs all over the world thanks to his last name, James, like many of the Bidens, is constantly in and out of financial trouble. He fell deeply into debt to the Internal Revenue Service, but conveniently received a half-million-dollar loan in 2015 from Biden donor and Ukrainian-American car dealer John Hynansky. Three years earlier, Hynansky’s company had received a $20 million federal loan to build a new dealership near Kyiv, Ukraine.
For all these deals, Joe Biden is in the room—figuratively, if not literally. None of them would have happened without Joe. Joe, a known plagiarist, has lied about everything from driving a big rig to his son’s death.
Of course, he is willing to lie about his family’s financial dealings.

Joe has made business boom for the Bidens. They didn’t have to talk to him about every deal. They merely had to talk about him.
Besides, only a fool would trust the Bidens’ word and not his or her own eyes.

‘Breaking Biden’ Author: Five Takeaways from Joe’s Duplicitous Oval Office Address About Ukraine
Joe Biden gave a rare Oval Office address Thursday night that began with a clear condemnation of Hamas terror, but quickly shifted focus to cynical politicking and narrative setting, even while Americans are still being held hostage.
Here are a few essential takeaways:
1. The Address Was About Ukraine, Not Israel
I spent over a year trying to get inside Joe Biden’s brain while researching for my New York Times bestselling book, Breaking Biden, and in that time, I learned a few of his moves. One of them is that he tries to shift the political focus to something more favorable for him when his back is against the wall.
That’s what he tried to do tonight.
The dominant news cycle right now – radical Islamic terror directed at Israel – is a terrible one for Joe. As I noted in an article earlier this week, Joe Biden has harmed Israel in numerous ways over his presidency and vice presidency while simultaneously enabling terrorists and their funders. He is also clearly perceived as a weak target by our adversaries around the world; so, the longer the media is focused on Israel, Jews, Hamas rockets, decapitated babies, and American hostages, the worse Joe is going to look. His political instincts told him to try to switch gears.
He did that in his speech tonight. It was not only clumsy, it was offensive.
Actually, it was an attempted hoodwinking. The world thought the speech would be about Israel. And he did talk about Israel. But the speech was really about Ukraine.
He tried to connected Israel and Ukraine in order to suggest to Americans that if you support Israel’s war for its own survival, you must also support limitless taxpayer resources being sent to Ukraine – after those funds make a pit stop in the bank accounts of U.S. defense contractors, of course.
He ended up saying nothing newsworthy about Israel or Hamas, yet he revived the Ukraine funding discussion.
Yes, duplicitous Joe used dead Jews as an excuse to give a speech about Ukraine funding — from the Oval Office, no less.
2. Earth To Joe: Ukraine And Israel Are Not the Same
My colleague Joel Pollak beat me to the punch on this one:
Israel is not Ukraine. Israel is a much closer ally. It is a democracy, and has been for far longer than Ukraine. Its intelligence assists U.S. counter-terror operations; its technology, like the Iron Dome, keeps American troops safe.
Israel has taken bullets — or, rather, Scud missiles — for the U.S., allowing Iraq to attack it during the Gulf War without retaliating, because the U.S. needed to keep Arab allies in its wartime coalition. And millions of Americans — Christian and Jewish — love Israel, visiting in the millions.
The last point is crucial. Israel has been exemplary stewards of the Holy Land, a place where Jews and Christians alike make pilgrimages by the millions. This is fortunate for America, itself a Judeo-Christian nation. If Israel is wiped off the map—the stated objective of those who are at war against it right now—then the Holy Land will be in jeopardy.
I would also add that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and Israel is not. That counts!
3. Joe’s False Construct: Tying Israel’s Survival to Ukraine Spending
Joe wants his Ukraine agenda to continue to get funding. His base really likes sending stuff to Ukraine. And he needs his base happy if he wants to get reelected.
His ultimate goal appears to be to tie funding for Israel to funding for Ukraine in subsequent spending packages.
This is a false construct, and Americans should reject it.
The thought that helping Israel stave off extinction is conditional on sending another bag of goodies to grifters in Ukraine isn’t just totally bogus, it is, again, offensive. If we’re going to tie anything to Israel funds, it should be other issues of urgent national security importance like solidifying our border; but we know Joe doesn’t actually want a secure border.
4. Joe Wants More Cash for the Military-Industrial Complex
As I document in Breaking Biden, Joe Biden and his cabinet are in league with the military-industrial complex, none more so than his Secretary of State, Antony Blinken. Blinken, whom I refer to as the “Secretary of Boeing,” was the managing director of the Penn Biden Center (home of Joe’s infamous classified documents) and co-founded WestExec Advisors, a boutique D.C. consultancy focused on “advising companies on geopolitical risk and emerging opportunities.” He also helped orchestrate the “Russian disinfo” hoax letter that got the Hunter Biden “Laptop from Hell” censored before the 2020 election, along with 50 of his Deep State buddies.
Blinken is one example of many in Biden’s administration. Joe loves to fund the defense industry because that’s where past and future cabinet officials go to bag cash between stints running our government.
In his Oval Office address, Joe Biden specifically called for “missiles for air defense, batters made in Arizona,” and “artillery shells made in 12 countries [sic] in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, and so much more.” He then went on to suggest that it is patriotic to funnel unlimited amounts of your tax dollars to the ever-expanding security state.
The same security state that bankrolls people like Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who famously sat on the board of Raytheon. The list goes on.
Using the death of Israelis and Americans, especially children, to shake the can for the defense industry was not mereley a little too on the nose, it was grotesque.
5. Joe Is Thinking About a Two-State Solution and Islamophobia
The fact that he is even bringing up the “two state solution” debate right now, days after babies were murdered in their homes by Hamas, and while Americans are still hostage, is seemingly wildly out of touch. Sadly, it’s probably not. These comments were likely a sop to the pro-Hamas faction of our society (a group of people who seemingly control many of our major newsrooms).
In what was another low point for the night, Joe scolded Americans for Islamophobia from two decades ago, despite the fact that radical Muslims targeted Jews for torture, rape, and murder just this month. “I know many of you in the Muslim American community are outraged saying to yourself ‘here we go again’ with Islamophobia and distress we saw after 9/11,” Joe said.
The timing would seem a bit off, unless you see it as a dog whistle to extremists in his political base.
Can we at least try to free the hostages before we get a lecture on why we need to be careful not to hurt people’s hypothetical feelings?
Despite his constant haranguing about unity, Joe Biden rarely misses an opportunity to divide so long as he believes it advances his political position.

‘Breaking Biden’ Author: ‘Biden Crime Family’ Would Be in ‘Handcuffs’ if U.S. Had a ‘Responsible Department of Justice’
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief and New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author Alex Marlow told YouTuber Stephen Gardner the Bidens would be in “handcuffs” if the United States “had a responsible Department of Justice.”
In a Tuesday interview, Gardner asked Marlow to explain to his YouTube audience why “crime family” is a fair description for President Joe Biden and his family. Marlow noted that his extensively researched and heavily footnoted new book, Breaking Biden, has “all the receipts” to back up the use of this moniker for the Bidens.
“I’ll give you a couple examples of known crimes that the Biden family has pulled off,” Marlow said. “The first one is Burisma, which is one that you don’t need me to shed much new light on.”
“Perhaps I can distill it down to something a little more simple than some in conservative media have made it seem,” he added. “Some people made it seem more complicated than it is.”
Marlow then summarized Hunter Biden’s Burisma scandal:
Hunter Biden took a job with a Ukrainian energy company for $1 million a year, and he knew nothing about Ukraine or energy, as far as we can know, so that’s very odd. No one has ever asked Hunter what he’s done for this company. That should be the first question he gets when he eventually gets subpoenaed by these various committees that are finally — seems like — unearthing some of the remaining details.
The U.S.’s policy was that there was a prosecutor that was looking into Burisma in Ukraine that was doing a perfectly fine job. The State Department confirmed this: they thought the prosecutor was doing a good job…
…[Despite that] Joe Biden threatened the country of Ukraine that he would withhold $1 billion if they didn’t fire the prosecutor. That is a material change of U.S. policy that goes directly against Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s own State Department — and Hunter got a bag of cash in the process.
“This is clearly bribery, it’s clearly a crime, and you should get the handcuffs out,” Marlow said, adding, “If we had a responsible Department of Justice, then they would have held the Biden’s accountable for this.”
“Crime number two is Hunter Biden’s gun charge, which [appears to be] a clear crime,” the Breitbart News editor-in-chief continued. “It’s all documented in Breaking Biden, and Hunter intended to plead guilty, but then he realized he was gonna get labeled a felon, which he would have been, and I think he decided he’s gonna take his chances on the legal system.”
Marlow went on to say in Breaking Biden he documents at least a half a dozen countries where “the Biden family is doing deals, and in almost all of these instances you see favorable policy from Joe Biden.”
“I don’t have subpoena power,” Marlow noted. “I’m in my home office. I had a team of five part-time investigators help me on the book — I don’t have a big staff and a big Congressional office, and several friends in Congress going through stuff for me, and I was able to track down probably north of 20 international deals.”
Marlow added all of these deals involved “different policies being favorable from either Vice President or President Biden.”
Marlow cited an article he wrote earlier in the week on Frank Biden, who had received support from the Costa Rican government to build a country club — coincidentally when Joe Biden was prioritizing the small country as a strategic partner. “There’s no evidence that Frank Biden knows anything about building a country club,” Marlow said. “There’s no evidence at all that he should be doing that, and we know that taxpayer money goes into it.”
The Obama-Biden administration also authorized a $6.5 million taxpayer-backed loan for one of Frank’s companies, Sun Fund Americas, to operate a solar business in the country, a detail first unearthed by Breitbart Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer in his book Profiles in Corruption.
“Hopefully the book is the catalyst that gets people fired up in Washington,” Marlow said.
