The veil surrounding the Biden family is gradually being lifted, as official documents presented to Congress by the FBI confirm the investigation into alleged bribes taken by Biden from the Ukrainian company, Burisma.

Historically, last week was marked by an unprecedented event as Merrick Garland, the Attorney General under Joe Biden’s administration, instigated the arrest and detention of former President Donald Trump.

This is the first occurrence of a former president being accused of federal crimes.

Simultaneously, another politically charged story unfolded in the background, which Democrats are trying to keep out of the spotlight.

Following a request from Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, the FBI provided Congress with a document on Thursday.

The document discloses information from a ‘reliable’ and ‘credible’ source alleging that President Joe Biden is tied to a ‘corruption scheme’ involving Ukraine’s largest gas company, Burisma.

Daily Right readers would recall that Burisma is the same Ukrainian company that hired Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, as a board member.

This happened during Joe Biden’s tenure as Vice President under Obama, despite Hunter’s lack of experience in the field.

The leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop indicate that his board membership was granted to offer the Ukrainians privileged access to the White House, an influence-trading scheme the FBI has investigated since 2020.

But thanks to the Republicans in Congress, it is now public knowledge that Joe Biden might also be implicated in this case, not just his son.

The FBI document contains allegations that Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of Burisma, paid Hunter and another unnamed member of the Biden family US$5 million each to undermine a corruption investigation of his company.

An anonymous key witness, whose name is being kept secret to protect his safety, has testified before the FBI that the unidentified member, referred to as “the big guy” in the leaked emails, is none other than Joe Biden himself.

In 2016, after the payment was made, Biden traveled to Ukraine and got the government under Petro Poroshenko to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma then.

In a 2019 interview with the Council for Foreign Relations, Biden even admitted that he convinced his team to give Ukraine loans.

He recounted his ultimatum to Poroshenko and Prime Minister Yatzenyuk, threatening to withhold a billion dollars if Shokin wasn’t fired.

Biden’s legal team insists that his actions were intended to tackle corruption in Ukraine. They assert that any benefit to a company paying his son was purely coincidental.

Furthermore, they challenge the investigators to find the alleged US$10 million bribe received from Burisma before indicting him.

Despite Biden’s confidence, Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, has testified that he acted as a proxy for the Biden family for several years.

He claims to be one of the beneficiaries of Burisma’s US$10 million, as revealed in an email from another Biden business partner, James Gilliar.

The email outlines a tentative agreement on how the capital and company shares would be distributed.

According to the agreement, Gilliar, Rob Walker, Bobulinski, and Jim would each receive 20%, 20%, 20%, and 10% of the shares, respectively.

Hunter Biden was set to receive 20% for himself and retain an additional 10% on behalf of “the big guy.”

Bobulinski has confirmed that the email from Hunter Biden’s laptop is genuine and clarified that “the big guy” is a pseudonym for Joe Biden. This could potentially lead investigators to the alleged bribe.
