Sen. Chuck Grassley released this Thursday what's described to be a "bombshell" FBI file showing the Ukrainian owner of the natural gas company Burisma Holdings telling a government informant that he was “coerced” into paying a $10 million bribe to President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, the New York Post reported.
The file shows Mykola Zlochevsky telling the informant that “it cost 5 [million] to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden."
“Zlochevsky made some comment that although Hunter Biden ‘was stupid, and his (Zlochevsky’s) dog was smarter,’ Zlochevsky needed to keep Hunter Biden (on Burisma’s board) ‘so everything will be okay,’” the June 2020 document says.
When asked whether Hunter Biden or Joe Biden told Zlochevsky he should “retain” Hunter, Zlochevsky replied, ‘They both did.'"
Zlochevsky claimed to have 17 recordings of conversations with the Bidens and “many text messages” and two documents that the informant “understood to be” financial records of “payment(s) to the Bidens.”
Zlochevsky was convinced he was “somehow coerced into paying the Bidens to ensure Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin was fired," according to the informant.
