Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) pushed for answers from the FBI about unverified raw intelligence suggesting President Joe Biden "collaborated" with foreign entities.
During an interview with Fox News host Sandra Smith on Thursday, Graham could not confirm the existence of tapes of Biden, which were said to be revealed in a tip by an FBI informant.
"Well, so quite clearly what you're telling us is we learned that this form 1023 it did contain information about the president himself," Smith offered.
"I don't know if it's true or not," Graham replied, "but I know the FBI was informed by somebody on their payroll, a confidential informant, that they hired, they had reason to believe that a Burisma official was talking about recordings with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden about business deals in Ukraine as an insurance policy."
"What the hell happened to that allegation?" he asked. "I'm not going to stop till I get an answer of what did they find."
Other Republicans have questioned the existence of the tapes.
"I don't even know where they are," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) recently said. "Now, maybe they don't exist. But how will I know until the FBI tells us, are they showing us their work?"
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) also had his doubts about the tapes.
"We don't know if they're legit or not, but we know that the foreign national claims he has them," he told Newsmax.
