Disregarding Caution, GOP Championed Discredited Accusation Against Biden

Ignoring Warnings, G.O.P. Trumpeted Now-Discredited Allegation Against Biden

House Republicans constructed their impeachment case against President Biden on the foundation of an unsubstantiated bribery accusation, despite warnings from the FBI regarding its lack of corroboration.

Senator Charles E. Grassley embarked on a mission to unveil an allegation of bribery against President Biden in May 2023, capturing the attention of his fellow Republicans and the public.

He asserted that a document within the FBI’s possession held the key to unveiling a supposed criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden. Grassley, a prominent figure in Iowa’s Republican circles, insinuated a potential cover-up by the FBI, questioning whether they suppressed the document to shield Biden’s candidacy.

In the subsequent months, Grassley’s efforts to bring this allegation to light, documented in an obscure file labeled as an FBI Form 1023, gained momentum. This pursuit became intertwined with the broader Republican agenda of seeking retribution for what they perceived as unfair treatment of former President Donald J. Trump by Democrats.

Central to their campaign was the unverified claim that President Biden had accepted a $5 million bribe from a high-ranking executive at Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

However, crucially absent from the fervent proclamations made by Grassley and other Republican voices was the fact that FBI officials had cautioned them against embracing the accusation uncritically. The FBI consistently emphasized the lack of substantiation and questioned the credibility of the allegation.

The FBI clarified that Form 1023 merely documented a statement from a confidential source without verifying its accuracy. Furthermore, federal prosecutors have since declared the accusation to be fabricated.
