An FBI document released Thursday as evidence of bribes paid by Ukrainian businessmen to President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, isn’t as clear cut as it has been portrayed by Republican lawmakers.
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley released the document, which is at the heart of allegations that the Bidens took action to aid the energy company Burisma Holdings, on whose board Hunter Biden served.
House GOP leaders claim the document, referred to as an FD-1023 form, is evidence the Bidens were each paid $5 million in bribes when the elder Biden was vice president, to help remove Ukraine’s chief prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.
