Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Slams DOJ and FBI Over Lack of \u200cCooperation<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Chuck Grassley\u200c (R-IA) strongly criticized the Department of Justice and FBI\u200b on Tuesday for their failure to address concerns regarding an FBI form that has been sought after by Republicans. The form in question, known as FD-1023, was released by Grassley last week and alleges a\u200b $5 million bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Joe \u200cBiden and his son Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<h3>FBI Denial and Stalling Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>The FBI initially denied the existence of the form when questioned about\u200d it, and then repeatedly delayed providing it. Expressing his frustration on the Senate floor, Grassley highlighted the lack of cooperation from the FBI and DOJ in this matter.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re in July 2023 and we\u2019re talking about a June 2020\u200d document. The FBI can easily answer those\u200d questions. The\u200c fact that they haven\u2019t indicates to me\u2063 that the Justice Department and \u2064FBI\u2064 haven\u2019t followed normal investigative\u2062 protocol,&#8221; Grassley said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Grassley emphasized that the Justice Department and FBI have not disputed any of the allegations made\u2062 by whistleblowers regarding \u200cthe Biden family. He also pointed out that the FBI Director, Christopher \u2064Wray, missed an opportunity to address these allegations during a telephone conversation with Grassley and House \u200cOversight\u2062 Chairman James Comer (R-KY).<\/p>\n<h3>Grassley&#8217;s Investigation Efforts<\/h3>\n<p>Grassley, along \u200bwith Chairman Comer, has been leading the congressional investigation into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/grassley-blasts-doj-and-fbi-for-not-answering-questions-about-bureau-form\/\" title=\"Grassley slams DOJ and FBI for dodging bureau form inquiries.\">alleged criminal activities \u200cinvolving<\/a> the Biden family.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the lack \u200bof cooperation from the FBI, Grassley managed to obtain and publicly release the document through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irs-whistleblower-alleges-hunter-biden-probe-misconduct\/\" title=\"IRS Whistleblower Alleges Hunter Biden Probe Misconduct\">legally protected disclosures<\/a> by DOJ whistleblowers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe American people can now read this document for\u200d themselves, without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats, thanks to brave and heroic whistleblowers,\u201d Grassley said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The FBI\u2062 had\u2064 previously\u2062 provided a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-says-fbi-seized-possible-attorney-client-privileged-information-in-trump-raid\/\" title=\"DOJ Says FBI Seized Possible \u2018Attorney-Client Privileged Information\u2019 In Trump Raid\">heavily redacted version<\/a>\u200b of the document, which\u200d drew criticism from Republicans due to the amount of information that was\u200c concealed. The FBI defended their \u2062decision, stating that it was done to protect the\u200b source.<\/p>\n<h3>Tensions Rise Between Wray and Republicans<\/h3>\n<p>Tensions have escalated between FBI Director \u2063Christopher Wray and Republicans after he \u200dinitially \u2064refused to hand over the FD-1023 \u2063form, citing unsubstantiated intelligence. Republicans, including Comer and Grassley, \u200bbelieve that the form exposes a &#8220;criminal scheme&#8221; involving Biden and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/james-comer-releases-new-financial-records-exposing-biden-familys-influence-peddling-in-romania-and-china\/\" title=\"Comer reveals new financial records exposing Biden family's influence in Romania and China.\">unnamed foreign national<\/a>.
