FBI Sources Alleged Biden Stopped Burisma Investigation ‘To Protect The Interests Of Hunter,’ New Docs Show

While he was vice president, Joe Biden stepped onto taxpayer-funded Air Force 2, traveled to Ukraine, and conducted personal business with Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko. He was there “to protect the interests of Hunter Biden,” according to documents released Tuesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the oversight of the FBI.

The new documents strengthen the information in previously released records. Last Congress, Grassley released FBI 1023 records — statements from confidential sources — alleging that when Biden was vice president, executives for Ukrainian gas company Burisma put his son Hunter Biden on the company’s board of directors to “protect us through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” according to that “confidential human source.”

Burisma wanted to do business in the United States, but was facing a corruption investigation in Ukraine, led by then-Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

“Regarding that investigation’s impact on its ambitions in North America, Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky reportedly said, ‘Don’t worry Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.’ Zlochevsky reportedly stated that he had to pay $5 million to Hunter Biden and $5 million to Joe Biden, an arrangement he described as ‘poluchili,’ which is Russian crime slang for being “forced or coerced to pay,” according to the document declassified in 2023.

The confidential human source who provided that information, Alexander Smirnova, was later prosecuted for lying to his FBI handler and took a guilty plea, but the Trump DOJ is reexamining the case. Now, more evidence has come to light that tells a similar story to his.

Kamala Harris Goes Scorched Earth on Biden in Explosive Memoir

Former Vice President Kamala Harris blasted the “recklessness” of then-President Joe Biden’s decision to run for a second term — writing in her forthcoming memoir that the choice should not have been “left to an individual’s ego.”

The ex-veep’s stunning dig at her former boss was laid bare in an excerpt of her book, “107 Days,” which was obtained by The Atlantic on Wednesday — shocking former Biden White House aides who were not expecting a juicy tell-all.

“Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness,” Harris writes of her decision not to convince Biden to drop out of the 2024 race earlier.

“The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”

One former White House official claimed to The Post that Harris’ admission “hurts” any chance of a political comeback in 2028.

“No one wants a leader that can’t speak truth to power, but I do not think she is going to run,” the Democratic aide said. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Goes Scorched Earth on Biden in Explosive Memoir” HERE)

Biden Assault Accuser Expands $100M Lawsuit to Include Jill and Hunter

In 1993, Tara Reade worked as staff assistant in then-Senator Joe Biden’s office. One day, according to Reade, Biden allegedly sexually assaulted her. She claims she filed a written complaint with a congressional personnel office, but as of today, no copy of this complaint has surfaced.

All attempts to seek help both internally and externally were unsuccessful, according to Reade, who alleges she was stripped of her responsibilities and treated poorly as a result.

In 2020 when Joe Biden was running for president, Reade filed a police report with the Washington, D.C., police, but the case remained inactive because the timing of the alleged assault fell outside the statute of limitations. She was even denied help from Time’s Up — a nonprofit that supports survivors of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse. However, the organization had ties to Anita Dunn, one of Joe Biden’s top advisers.

The intimidation, threats, and false accusations Reade suffered from her advocacy became overwhelming. In 2020, Reade’s Twitter records were subpoenaed by a grand jury, her bank accounts were disrupted, and a FedEx package containing her book manuscript, which was a memoir detailing her alleged abuse, mysteriously disappeared.

Fearing for her safety, Reade relocated to Russia in 2023 after being granted asylum. Even though Biden is no longer in office, she remains in Russia today, as she fears the Biden family will seek retribution.

Senate Report: Biden’s HHS Placed Thousands of Migrant Children With Unvetted Adults

A new report from the Senate Judiciary Committee has raised serious concerns over how the Biden administration handled the placement of unaccompanied migrant children in the United States. Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed findings showing that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) placed more than 11,000 migrant children with adults who were never properly vetted.

Thousands of Children Placed Without Required Checks

Under federal law, when unaccompanied children are placed with adult sponsors who are not parents or relatives, those sponsors must undergo FBI fingerprint-based background checks. According to the report, Biden’s HHS disregarded this requirement, placing thousands of minors in homes where no such checks were conducted.

The report also noted that more than 79,000 children under the age of 12 were placed with sponsors without the agency conducting home studies that are meant to evaluate living conditions and child safety.

“My oversight continues to expose disturbing evidence that the Biden-Harris administration turned a blind eye to tens of thousands of kids who needed proper supervision and care,” Grassley said. “It’s appalling to prioritize speed and optics over the safety and well-being of children.”

The investigation highlighted the sheer scale of the crisis. Between October 2020 and September 2024, HHS cared for nearly half a million unaccompanied minors — a surge that strained the system and led to rapid, and in many cases, unverified placements. By comparison, from October 2024 through June 2025, the number dropped significantly to just over 21,000.

Critics say the Biden administration’s approach prioritized quickly clearing children from federal custody rather than ensuring their long-term safety.

Kennedy Blasts Policy as “Child Abuse”

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who took office earlier this year, told Congress in May that the Biden administration’s handling of the issue amounted to systemic child abuse.

“My predecessor was deliberately employing a policy of speed over safety so they waived all of the identification requirements for sponsors,” Kennedy testified. “Sponsors were not required to show valid identification; they were never fingerprinted, so we don’t know if there’s a criminal record. There was no DNA testing, so the claims that they were taking a family member were dubious.”

The Judiciary Committee says it will continue pressing for accountability and reforms to prevent future abuses. Grassley emphasized that protecting migrant children should not be a partisan issue: “We cannot allow government negligence to put children at risk. This is about basic safety and responsibility.”

Biden DOJ Ripped White House Over Clemency Grant to ‘Non-Violent Offenders’: ‘Stop Saying That Because It Is Untrue’

Senior Justice Department officials were left befuddled by the sweeping pardons then-President Biden approved for thousands of convicts days before leaving office earlier this year — and rebuked the White House for falsely labeling the clemency recipients “nonviolent” offenders, according to emails reviewed by The Post.

Associate Deputy Attorney General Brad Weinsheimer struggled to make sense of the commutations granted nearly 2,500 federal convicts on Jan. 17 and requested “a list as to each inmate listing the offenses that are covered by the commutation.”

“I think the language ‘offenses described to the Department of Justice’ in the warrant is highly problematic and in order to resolve its meaning appropriately, and consistent with the President’s intent, we will need a statement or direction from the President as to how to interpret the language,” Weinsheimer wrote in a Jan. 18 email to members of the White House Counsel’s Office and the DOJ Pardon Attorney’s Office, adding that a statement directly from Biden would help clarify “the meaning of the warrant language.”

“One other important note,” the DOJ official continued, “in communication about the commutations, the White House has described those who received commutations as people convicted of non-violent drug offenses.

“I think you should stop saying that because it is untrue or at least misleading.” (Read more from “Biden DOJ Ripped White House Over Clemency Grant to ‘Non-Violent Offenders’: ‘Stop Saying That Because It Is Untrue’” HERE)

Biden Skipped 2024 Super Bowl Interview Over Hur Report Concerns, Aide Confirms

A trusted adviser to President Biden has confirmed that the decision to skip last year’s Super Bowl interview was influenced by concerns over the fallout from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material.

Anita Dunn, 67, a longtime Biden confidant and former senior communications adviser, testified before the House Oversight Committee that the president’s inner circle anticipated tough questioning tied to the then-unreleased Hur report. According to sources familiar with her remarks, Biden’s team believed media attention would center on the classified records controversy rather than his policy agenda.

“They thought the main coverage would be about what he did with classified records and not about the President’s policy decisions,” one source recounted from Dunn’s testimony, adding that the decision was made even before the report’s official release.

Released on February 5, 2024, Hur’s report concluded that Biden would likely appear to a jury as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” — language that ignited a heated national debate about his age and mental fitness. Biden’s legal team had reviewed the report on February 3 and 4, just days before the February 11 Super Bowl LVIII broadcast. News of his decision to decline the interview surfaced on February 3, marking the second consecutive year he had opted out.

The missed opportunity was notable — the annual Super Bowl interview offers presidents a rare, high-visibility platform to reach tens of millions of Americans, especially during an election year.

Dunn’s testimony also revealed that Biden’s top advisers discussed the possibility of a cognitive test but reached a consensus that it would yield “no political benefit.” While emphasizing that Biden was always the final decision-maker, she underscored that the choice not to pursue such testing was strategic rather than medically driven.

Despite these behind-the-scenes decisions, Dunn defended Biden’s engagement with the media. Citing research from Towson University’s Martha Joynt Kumar, she noted that over his presidency, Biden held 37 formal press conferences, participated in 151 interviews, and engaged in 679 informal gaggles with reporters — surpassing many of his predecessors since Ronald Reagan.

“I did not observe White House staff making key decisions or exercising the powers of the presidency without President Biden’s knowledge or consent,” Dunn testified.

Biden’s aides maintain that his avoidance of the Super Bowl interview was a calculated choice to prevent a political spectacle at a moment when the Hur report’s conclusions threatened to overshadow his policy messaging.

Biden Debate Performance Blamed on Stutter, Not Mental Decline, Adviser Tells Congress

In closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee, a senior White House official defended President Joe Biden’s controversial debate performance by attributing his struggles to a lifelong stutter rather than any signs of cognitive deterioration.

Bruce Reed, who served as deputy chief of staff for policy, reportedly told congressional investigators that concerns about Biden’s mental fitness are unfounded. According to a source familiar with the proceedings, Reed emphasized that the president’s verbal slips during the debate were a result of his known speech impediment, not mental decline.

Reed has been a longtime Biden confidant, previously serving as chief of staff during Biden’s vice presidency and playing central roles in both of his presidential campaigns. His comments came as part of a transcribed interview during an ongoing investigation into the president’s health and decision-making process.

The timing of the June debate — widely criticized by both parties — was not, according to Reed, a reaction to voter concerns about Biden’s age or stamina. Instead, it was scheduled early to “get ahead of early voting and the 2024 Olympics,” Reed testified.

Reed also confirmed that Biden’s team anticipated questions about a cognitive exam ahead of the ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos. According to the same source, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president’s personal physician, allegedly dismissed the value of cognitive tests, calling them “meaningless.”

Reed was not the only senior Biden official to testify. Steve Ricchetti and Mike Donilon, both key White House advisers, also spent hours in closed-door sessions last week. Ricchetti reportedly supported Reed’s explanation of the president’s performance, while Donilon said he had no knowledge of the controversial use of an autopen — an automated signature device — in signing official correspondence.

Meanwhile, other figures close to the president have declined to testify openly. Anthony Bernal, who previously served as chief of staff to First Lady Jill Biden, along with aide Annie Tomasini and Dr. O’Connor, all invoked their Fifth Amendment rights during committee questioning, according to sources.

The Oversight Committee continues to examine whether White House staff have been forthright with the American public about the president’s health and whether internal protocols are in place to ensure transparency at the highest levels of government.

Frail Man Who Hid Prostate Cancer From Public Emerges to Deliver Incoherent Address in Front of Lawyers

Joe Biden emerged from the bunker to say that Trump is a threat to the country, and that he was doing well in eliminating all his past failures. Oh, and this isn’t hyperbole, folks. . .Biden made these remarks at the National Bar Association’s 100th gala (via Fox News):

Former President Joe Biden took a number of potshots at President Donald Trump addressing the National Bar Association’s100th annual gala at the Hyatt in Chicago Thursday evening, saying his successor’s administration is engaged in an “existential” fight with minority communities.

“Not since those tumultuous days in 1960s has this fight been so existential to who we are as a nation, with marginalized groups so dramatically under attack,” said Biden, who spoke before being presented with the organization’s C. Francis Stradford Award, named for a co-founder of the historically Black legal association.

“My friends, we need to face the hard truth of this administration, and that it has been to ease all the gains we’ve made in my administration,” Biden went on. “To erase history rather than making it. To erase fairness, equality, to erase justice itself. And that’s not hyperbole. That’s a fact.”

Biden White House Aide Disputes Cognitive Decline Claims

A top White House official and campaign chief for former President Joe Biden took probing questions from House investigators on Wednesday, pushing back strongly against assertions of Biden’s cognitive decline while still in office.

Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president in the Biden White House and a longtime player in Democrat politics, sat down with members and staff of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Mike Donilon, a former senior White House adviser to Biden, is set to take questions from House investigators Thursday. Donilon was Biden’s campaign manager in 2020.

Ricchetti and Donilon were both identified in the book “Original Sin,” by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, as part of the “Politburo” that helped run the White House during Biden’s cognitive decline.

Ricchetti contended that Biden is capable of being president today, and that he could have won in 2024, according to a source familiar with the interview. Ricchetti was combative and defensive during the transcribed interview and often filibustered. Ricchetti’s lawyer repeatedly interrupted and requested questions to be rephrased, according to the source.

He said famed film director Steven Spielberg helped Biden prepare for the June 2024 debate that led to the Democratic Party pressuring him to drop out of the race. (Read more from “Biden White House Aide Disputes Cognitive Decline Claims” HERE)

Biden’s Ex-Chief Reveals Clinton Raised Alarm about Former President’s Future ‘By 2024′

Ex-President Joe Biden’s former chief of staff Ron Klain told House investigators that Hillary Clinton approached him with concerns about the octogenarian leader’s political viability “by 2024,” Fox News Digital has learned.

Klain spoke with staff on the House Oversight Committee for over five hours on Thursday, as Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., continues to probe whether top Biden aides concealed signs of mental decline in the ex-president.

A source familiar with his voluntary interview told Fox News Digital that Klain believed Biden was mentally sharp enough to serve as president, and was not too old to run.

But the ex-secretary of state and former Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan both “approached Ron Klain stating they believed Joe Biden was not politically viable” months before he dropped his re-election bid in July 2024, the source said.

Sullivan told Klain that Biden “was less effective in 2024 compared to 2022,” the source said. (Read more from “Biden’s Ex-Chief Reveals Clinton Raised Alarm about Former President’s Future ‘By 2024′” HERE)
