Senator Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) says the FBI is in possession of information indicating that the Biden family began doing work on behalf of a Chinese-government front company while Joe Biden was vice president. Grassley further claims compensation for this work was intentionally delayed until Biden was out of office, after which the company paid the Bidens approximately $6 million, a percentage of which was slated to go to the then-former vice president as he planned his 2020 presidential run.

Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) have for years been investigating allegations that the Biden family monetized Joe Biden’s political influence, concentrating particularly on the family’s relationship with the Chinese company. Grassley made his latest allegations in a letter sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI director Christopher Wray, and Delaware U.S. attorney David Weiss (the Biden Justice Department prosecutor handling the Biden investigation) last Thursday. The letter, the existence of which was first reported by the Washington Examiner, says that FBI whistleblowers have come forward at Grassley’s urging to describe evidence the bureau is sitting on.
