Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday released a confidential FBI informant's unverified claim that, years ago, the Biden family "pushed" a Ukrainian oligarch to pay them $10 million.
The exceedingly rare step by Grassley, R-Iowa, further promulgates an allegation that Democratic critics warned against accepting at face value and which the White House continues to deny, saying it has been investigated under the Trump administration and "debunked."
Details of the unclassified document, known as an FD-1023, have emerged in recent months as Republicans search for any evidence that President Joe Biden engaged in the controversial overseas business dealings of his son Hunter Biden, which the president and his aides have repeatedly said he didn't do.
Democrats pounced on Grassley for publishing the FD-1023, accusing him of selectively highlighting uncorroborated information to hurt a political opponent.
"It is remarkable that congressional Republicans, in their eagerness to go after President Biden regardless of the truth, continue to push claims that have been debunked for years," White House spokesperson Ian Sams said in a statement responding to the release. "It's clear that congressional Republicans are dead-set on playing shameless, dishonest politics and refuse to let truth get in the way," Sams said.

Being candid with the truth - rare move.
Unverified!! The allegations against trump were not just unverified, they were false but I recall no such warning.
what is the unverifed portion
Democrats: “You have no evidence!”
Republicans: “Here is evidence.”
Democrats: “You can’t do that!!!”
The leftist/socialist/commie/marxist/demonKKKrats will do everything to discredit and destroy that document, along with the informant’s credibility.
I wonder if Ian Sams finds it remarkable that Biden’s DOJ is going after his political opponent with, what, over 100 charges. Or what about the democrats who starting bandying impeachment against President Trump IIRC just days after his taking office.
ABC fact checked it with the white house who said it's unverified.
They stress the word ‘unverified’..............
Where were they when Trump was accused of Russian ‘collusion’?
They sang it out full throat as if it was the Gospel of Jesus, never once using the word ‘unverified’. They announced it as if it was the truth......................................
Why have the Bidens set up dozens of shell companies and bank accounts to distribute large amounts of money?
This is classic “money laundering.”
If you have legitimate business income in large amounts, you put it in a single account.
Only because it hurts their precious Prezbot. They add the word ‘unverified’ that they never used when reporting about Trump’s ‘Russian Collusion’...................
It's on an FBI form, and the FBI redacted the name of the informant.
Would the FBI recact the name of an informant if it was "unverified?"
I'm thinking NO, they wouldn't.
Logical conclusion: It's real. BTW, the FBI confirmed it was real. So much for unbiased "news" from the lying liberal lamestream media.
This right here is a prime example of GASLIGHTING.
Has anyone asked Gropin’ Joe about any of this? How about Hunter?
“unverified” begs the question of why the information was never followed up on….
BTTT
Yesterday it was “debunked”, today it’s “unverified”, pretty soon it will be “yes that’s true but we’ve been over that before and it’s old news”.
Why did he wait so long?
You know why it’s “rare”?
Because Wray is defying Congress every step of the way.
That’s why it’s “rare”.

ABC “news” fires up the smokescreen generators.
