According to Archer, it wasn’t just Hunter who benefited from proximity to Joe Biden.

In the testimony, which he gave to the committee, Archer described Hunter as someone who threw around his father’s name for clout, sometimes even falsely taking credit for motivating his father’s visits to Ukraine. The other major material for McCarthy’s probe came in July in the form of testimony from Devon Archer, an associate of Hunter Biden’s. But Comer has admitted he doesn’t know if the calls are legitimate. In June, Comer and Grassley began to amp up the drama again, this time teasing recordings of phone calls, taken by “the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden,” that were “allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot.” These phone calls, Comer and Grassley suggested, were referenced in the 1023 form and would back up the “whistleblower’s” claims of bribing the two Bidens. Jamie Raskin said the two witnesses Comer alluded to had never accused the president of misconduct.) In a press conference back in May, Comer claimed he had found evidence of “federal crimes committed,” noting with some sense of drama that whistleblowers “fear for their lives.” In March, he told Fox that there were “whistleblowers” who were “affiliated with what I call the Biden influence peddling all across the globe.” (In a rebuttal letter, Democratic Rep. James Comer has repeatedly alluded to proof of corruption stemming, presumably, from the FD-1023 form. In his time as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep.

It’s flimsy-especially in terms of a potential impeachment case-but the possibility of the $5 million bribe has consumed parts of the right-wing media sphere. The investigation was closed after eight months.

In 2020 the Justice Department-still under Trump Attorney General Bill Barr-looked into those claims and failed to find any evidence. The problem is that this claim isn’t new and has never been found to have any merit. That would be huge if it pointed to a bribe that showed foreign companies influencing U.S.
