A former FBI informant accused of fabricating a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden’s family has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges, according to court papers filed Thursday.
The informant, who was arrested in February, allegedly falsely reported to the FBI in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter Biden and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016. The informant claimed that an executive hired Hunter Biden to protect the company through his father, Joe Biden, from potential issues.
