Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the FBI, under Director Kash Patel, is revisiting materials linked to these claims, which were previously alleged to have been ignored by the bureau. Senator Chuck Grassley questioned Bondi about the existence of key records-such as text messages, audio recordings, and financial documents-mentioned in a confidential FBI informant report (FD-1023) that detailed alleged bribery involving the Bidens and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. While Bondi did not confirm the existence of these records, her remarks marked the first public acknowledgment that the current FBI leadership is examining the Biden-related evidence. the allegations stem from informant testimony dating back to 2019,suggesting that Joe Biden met with former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to shield his son&#8217;s interests,though some informants have been discredited. Grassley emphasized the need for thorough examination irrespective of the allegations&#8217; veracity. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">FBI &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-dems-working-hard-to-convince-harris-to-go-to-al-smith-dinner-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"NY Dems \u2018...\u2019 to convince Harris to go to Al Smith dinner - Washington Examiner\">working hard&#038;rsquo<\/a>; to investigate Biden bribery evidence: Bondi<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2366518\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The FBI is &ldquo;working hard&rdquo; to investigate records tied to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bondi-grilled-on-fbi-surveillance-epstein-files-and-national-guard\/\" title=\"... grilled on ... surveillance, Epstein files, and National Guard\">long-standing bribery allegations involving<\/a> former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> and his son <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hunter-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hunter Biden<\/a>, Attorney General <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pam-bondi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pam Bondi<\/a> told senators on Tuesday following years of Republican and whistleblower claims that the bureau ignored key evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The comments came during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in response to questions from Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chuck-grassley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chuck Grassley<\/a> (R-IA), who has led efforts to declassify FBI informant materials describing alleged foreign bribes to the Biden family through the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings.
