President Biden and Hunter Biden allegedly coerced Burisma to pay them millions, document alleges
Fox News correspondent Kevin Corke has the latest on the Hunter Biden investigation on 'Special Report.'

Republicans immediately began lashing out at President Biden Thursday following the
release of an unclassified FBI document detailing his alleged involvement in an
international bribery scheme, with a number rallying for his impeachment.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the FD-1023 form earlier in the day which detailed
how Biden, along with his son, Hunter Biden, allegedly "coerced" Burisma CEO Mykola
Zlochevsky to pay them millions of dollars in exchange for their help in getting the
Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company fired.

"Most corrupt family to ever live in the White House! Impeach!" Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind.,
wrote on Twitter, while Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., wrote, "Read and understand just how
deep the corruption goes. Biden should be thrown out of office. Impeach!"

Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and conservative firebrand Kari Lake suggested
the president was guilty of "extortion" and "treason" in addition to bribery, and claimed
former President Donald Trump was impeached for Biden's "crimes."

"Isthis why Biden has America involved in the war in Ukraine??? Joe Biden is a criminal
and is compromised! And he is leading us into WW3 [because Ukrainian President
Volodymyr] Zelenskyy has proof of more Biden crimes," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.,
tweeted. "Republicans can no longer delay, but we need 218 Republican votes to do it. I’ve
been there since day one and so are the American people. IMPEACH BIDEN!!!"

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., also called for Biden's impeachment prior to the release of
the document, writing that he "NEEDS to be impeached" because of the "evidence and
testimony" she had seen as a member of the House Oversight Committee investigating
the Biden family finances. "He is compromised and his son is selling access to him," she
added.

"This is damning evidence that Biden is compromised. Remember when Democrats and
their pals in the media went as far as to question whether this document even exists?"
Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, tweeted, while Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., declared, "The Biden family
corruption saga continues."

Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., vowed the House Oversight Committee would hold Biden
accountable, while Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., told Fox News, "It causes some great
concerns that our president could be compromised to a foreign government."

WHISTLEBLOWER CONFIRMS ATTORNEY WHO DONATED TO BIDEN'S 2020 CAMPAIGN

‘REFUSED TO BRING CHARGES’ AGAINST HUNTER

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment,
however White House spokesman for oversight and investigations Ian Sams wrote on
Twitter, "The far right machine is in overdrive to spread long-disproven lies about President
Biden promulgated by Congressional Republicans This time disguised by the facade of a
‘new FBI form.’ But an old debunked lie is still an old debunked lie, even if it put on a new
pair of shoes."

Grassley said he released the document so that the American people can "read this
document for themselves without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats." The document in
question is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, which Grassley acquired via legally protected
disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers, according to the senator's office.

That FD-1023 — a confidential human source (CHS) reporting document — reflects the
FBI's interview with a "highly credible" confidential source who detailed multiple meetings
and conversations he or she had with a top executive of Ukrainian natural gas firm
Burisma Holdings over the course of several years starting in 2015. Hunter Biden, at the
time, sat on the board of Burisma.

Fox News Digital has reviewed the document, which includes new information, including
the identity of the business executive — Burisma CEO Zlochevsky — and the allegations
that he was "coerced" into paying Joe Biden and Hunter Biden millions of dollars to get a
Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his firm fired.
