Newly declassified FBI files just dropped, and they’re stirring up a storm over potential bribery schemes involving none other than Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
New York Post reported that released on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) alongside Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), these documents dive into allegations of foreign corruption tied to the Biden family and a Ukrainian energy giant, Burisma Holdings.
Let’s rewind to 2014, when Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board, reportedly earning a cool $1 million annually until 2019, despite questions about his qualifications in the energy sector.
Fast forward to informant interviews in 2017 and 2019, where FBI sources claimed a shady deal involving Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, who allegedly offered then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko $100 million in shares to squash an Interpol probe.
The plot thickens with accusations that Joe Biden, during his vice presidency, met with Poroshenko to shield Hunter’s interests—and by extension, Zlochevsky’s—while a Latvian shell company supposedly funneled Biden family money into Burisma.
Then there’s the 2015 pressure play, where Joe Biden, as vice president, reportedly pushed Ukrainian officials to oust prosecutor Viktor Shokin by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, leading to Shokin’s removal soon after.
By 2016, a reverse merger between Burisma and a Texas-based firm, CUB Energy Inc., allegedly tied Joe and Hunter Biden to lucrative ventures alongside business associates like Devon Archer and Chris Heinz-Kerry.
The 2017 FBI file suggests Joe Biden promised to handle Burisma’s global troubles, while Poroshenko would guard Zlochevsky domestically—a cozy arrangement, if true, that raises eyebrows about conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, a 2019 informant report claims two CIA officers escorted Zlochevsky to Ukraine’s then-Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, pressing him to drop investigations in exchange for a $3 million payment to allow Zlochevsky’s return.
Sen. Grassley, never one to shy away from a paper trail, also points to a 2020 FBI file alleging Joe and Hunter each pocketed $5 million from Zlochevsky to protect Burisma, though the informant behind that claim was later convicted for lying.
Adding fuel to the fire, a Senate report from Grassley and Johnson in 2020 highlighted Hunter’s hefty Burisma paycheck—up to $83,333 monthly—cut in half once Joe Biden left the Obama administration, suggesting a curious correlation.
Grassley isn’t mincing words, stating at a recent hearing that the FBI has dodged questions about whether they dug into related texts, audio, or financial records tied to these allegations.
“We aren’t saying the allegations are true, we want to know what the FBI did to fully investigate their veracity or lack thereof, and what they concluded,” Grassley declared, cutting through the partisan fog with a call for transparency.
Let’s be real—while the left may dismiss this as a witch hunt, Grassley’s push for answers isn’t about scoring political points; it’s about ensuring no one, regardless of name or position, sidesteps accountability in a system too often swayed by progressive double standards.
