An informant file from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) containing a $10 million bribery allegation against President Joe Biden and son Hunter revealed that the owner of a Ukrainian energy company felt “coerced” into giving millions to the Bidens.
The information comes from a source the FBI believes to be credible.
The source had several conversations with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevksy, during one of which the source recalled Zlochevksy commenting that Hunter Biden “was stupid.”
Zlochevksy also said he possessed 17 recordings of conversations with the Bidens and documents that, according to the informant, were “understood to be” financial “payments to the Bidens.”
The payments were “presumably in exchange for Shokin’s firing,” the Ukraine Prosecutor General.
According to the informant, Zlochevsky believed the recordings suggested he was “somehow coerced into paying the Bidens to ensure Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was fired.”
The document described that Zlochevksy stated he “did not send any funds directly to the ‘Big Guy’ (which CHS understood was a reference to Joe Biden). CHS asked Zlochevsky how many companies/bank accounts Zlochevsky controls; Zlochevsky responded it would take them (Investigators) 10 years to find the records (i.e. illicit payments to Joe Biden).”
Reporting from New York Post:
The “big guy” reference is significant because the same nickname also was used to describe a tentative 10% cut for Joe Biden in 2017 as part of a partnership with Chinese-government-linked CEFC China Energy. The moniker wasn’t publicly known until October 2020 — months after the informant file was created. At the Vienna meeting in 2016, Zlochevsky allegedly described Hunter as a conduit to his father when asked about Shokin’s investigation of Burisma. “Zlochevsky replied something to the effect of, ‘Don’t worry Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.’ [The informant] did not ask any further questions about what that specifically meant,” the file reported.
