Chris Wray, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), seemed to admit that President Joe Biden is under investigation for allegedly accepting Ukrainian bribes while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Wray was asked by Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) whether Biden had ever accepted payments from Burisma – a Ukrainian holding company for a group of exploration and production companies – or any other foreign companies while he was Vice President, President, or a private citizen.
“As you may know, there is an ongoing investigation being by the US Attorney in Delaware, Mr. Weiss, appointed by President Trump in the last administration, that our Baltimore field office is working with,” Wray responded.
Wray then tried to walk back the claim that Biden was the subject of the investigation when pressed in a follow-up question from Tiffany, who doubled down on the point, asking Wray, “so [Biden’s] not under investigation?”
“I didn’t’ say that either. By long-standing department policy and practice, I’m not going to be confirming or denying who is or isn’t under investigation,” Wray explained.
This follows the new revelations that an executive of Burisma told the FBI he would have to pay “$5 million for one Biden, and $5 million for the other Biden.”
