Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) admitted on Tuesday that he only has an "allegation" against President Joe Biden despite suggestions by Republicans who say the former vice president likely received bribes from foreign governments.
During an interview with conservative podcast host Steve Bannon, Gaetz revealed that he had personally debriefed an alleged FBI whistleblower with apparent dirt on Biden's family.
"And I found the claims credible, but I want to be very clear about something," he said. "Even what's on a 1023 [form] is an allegation."
"And the important work ahead is not to reflexively lurch into some sort of legislative procedural posture, " he continued. "It is to track down the bank records. It is to look for these 17 audio recordings that I knew were alleged to have existed several months ago."
Gaetz said that Republican lawmakers could take foreign trips to secure bank records.
"And so there's going to have to be some very serious work," he remarked.
The FBI FD-1023 is used to "record raw, unverified reporting from confidential human sources," according to the Society of Former Special Agents.
