Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate during a Senate hearing on Tuesday about his reluctance to address charges of bribery involving President Joe Biden and his family. Cruz sought frank explanations for how the FBI handled these serious allegations.
The dispute centred on a whistleblower's assertion that an FBI FD-1023 document showed that during Biden's time as vice president, he and his family members took part in a $5 million bribery operation. Cruz blasted Abbate's refusal to acknowledge or deny the report's existence despite this grave charge, calling it a disservice to the American people.
Cruz said, "I hear from Texans who are truly appalled by the rising politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI every day when I'm home in Texas.
There are 17 recordings associated with the matter, 15 of which feature discussions with Hunter Biden, according to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA). Cruz said that the FBI is "stonewalling and covering up significant charges of proof of corruption from the President" because Abbate would not admit that these tapes existed.
Cruz went on to say that if the accusations were untrue, President Biden would be able to rebut them without much difficulty, implying that the president's inaction simply serves to raise public skepticism. He blasted his Democratic colleagues for not looking into these charges, saying they were more concerned with party interests than upholding the law.
The Senator tried to get Abbate to promise to give the FD 1023 and the 17 recordings to the Senate Judiciary Committee, but he only gave vague assurances. Cruz claimed that Abbate's evasive responses revealed an alarming lack of accountability inside the FBI. Cruz cautioned that this was creating permanent harm to the institution's reputation.
If the allegations of corruption are genuine, there has been a serious betrayal of the public trust. Cruz pointed out that if Biden is innocent, the proof should be made available to the public. But if he's not, the American people have a right to know.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed yesterday that a Burisma employee had 17 audio recordings that purportedly incriminate both President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. It's thought that the "Foreign National," a Burisma executive, preserved these recordings as a sort of "insurance policy."
The suspected foreign briber of Joe and Hunter Biden purportedly possesses audio recordings of their chat. 17 of these recordings, "Grassley stated on Monday. The Foreign National has "two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then-Vice President Joe Biden," according to FBI Form 1023, which details interactions with sources, according to Grassley.
"It's obvious that the Justice Department and the FBI haven't quite had the same laser focus on the Biden family based on the facts available to the Congress and the public. Against former President Trump, Special Counsel Jack Smith has used a recording. What is U.S. Attorney Weiss doing about these purported recordings of Joe and Hunter Biden, which seem to be important to the high-stakes bribery scheme? Grassley inquired.
