One of the more shocking allegations to come from a long list of investigations into the Biden family and its business schemings in recent years is the charge, from a trusted FBI informant, that officials in Ukraine complained about having to pay $5 million bribes each to Joe and Hunter Biden.

Now a report from Just the News documents how a former federal prosecutor verified that the evidence was credible.

But he said he experienced “unprecedented foot-dragging” from the FBI on the case.

The report cites the “bombshell testimony” by former U.S. Attorney Scott Brady to the House Judiciary Committee.

“The federal prosecutor who initially probed the Biden family’s dealings in Ukraine told Congress his team had corroborated enough of an FBI informant’s claim of an alleged bribery scheme involving Joe Biden to merit further investigation,” the report said.

However, at the same time the prosecutor was confronted by “unprecedented foot-dragging and ‘reluctance’” inside both the FBI and the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office that took over the case, the report explained.

He confirmed there was enough “credible” evidence from just the initial review of the allegations to refer criminal matters to federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Delaware.

But the report said instead of the further investigation work that should have been done, Brady “encountered resistance” at both the FBI and in Delaware.

Just the News reviewed Brady’s testimony to the congressional committee and noted he explained, of working with the FBI, “It was a challenging working relationship.”

“I think there was reluctance on the part of the FBI to really do any tasking related to our assignment from DAG Rosen and looking into allegations of Ukrainian corruption broadly and then specifically anything that intersected with Hunter Biden and his role in Burisma. It was very challenging,” he told Congress.

The report noted the testimony emerged the same day Sen. Chuck Grassley confirmed the FBI had more than 40 informants giving evidence of possible criminality by the Biden family.

Brady charged that the FBI never even told his office it had possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop, on which evidence of many Biden family escapades existed.

Just the News reported Brady explained, “I would have thought that would be something, especially as has been publicly reported, there’s information relating to Hunter Biden’s activities on the board of Burisma in Ukraine, that might have been helpful in our assessment of the information that we were receiving about him. I would have expected that be shared.”

Burisma, back then, was paying Hunter Biden some $80,000 a month to be on its board, but there have been charges that the pay essentially was for Hunter Biden to use his influence with his father to kill a corruption investigation aimed at the company.

Joe Biden, as vice president, did just that, going to Ukraine and threatening to withhold American financial aid if officials there didn’t fire the prosecutor.

Joe Biden then returned to the U.S. and bragged about what he’d done:

Brady also corroborated the testimony of IRS whistleblowers who complained of resistance by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss and his deputy Lesley Wolf in fall 2020.

He said it was a “challenge” to accomplish anything.

Just the News documented, “Brady confirmed one of the pieces of information he referred for further investigation to his colleagues in Delaware was an FD-1023 report from a FBI informant alleging Joe and Hunter Biden were the beneficiaries of a $10 million bribery scheme involving efforts to thwart Ukrainian prosecutors from prosecuting the Burisma energy firm for whom Hunter Biden worked.”

He confirmed the investigation issues were “sensitive” because Joe Biden was running in the 2020 election.
