Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that he has seen “no evidence” that President Biden was involved in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings. “I’m going to take the same position that I’ve taken since 2019 that all I can say is there’s some indication, maybe some compromise with China particularly, but I have no evidence of it,” Grassley told CNN’s Manu Raju on Wednesday. He continued, saying the facts “haven’t taken me to that point where I can say that the president’s guilty of anything.”

WASHINGTON – Senior members of the Senate Judiciary Committee Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and John Cornyn (R-Texas), along with 24 Senate Republican colleagues, introduced legislation to ensure the American people have a full accounting of the number of migrants being released into the United States by the Biden administration. The Southern Border Transparency Act would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to accurately report how it is handling migrants encountered at the border, along with providing information detailing the migrants’ places of origin. The legislation follows a letter last week in which Grassley raised concerns about federal agencies’ usage...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) obtained private communications and other personal records of multiple Republican House and Senate staffers who were investigating the department’s role in the origins of the Russia collusion hoax, according to former senior Trump administration official Kash Patel. A recently-revealed subpoena shows that the DOJ sought the records for not only Patel when he was an investigator for then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), but also those of Jason Foster, who was at the time chief investigative counsel to then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (I-IA) and was also looking into the DOJ’s role in the hoax.

Closed door testimony by former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to the Judiciary Committee last week is a chilling case study of how credible corruption allegations against Joe Biden and his family were covered up by the FBI and DOJ — before and after the 2020 election. Brady’s testimony fits a pattern revealed by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley last week, in which over 40 confidential human sources gave information to the FBI, over several years, about potential criminal activity involving the president, his brother James and son Hunter. In a blistering letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday, Grassley alleged...

More than 40 FBI confidential human sources (CHS) have snooped on Joe Biden and his family over the years on various criminal matters related to their influence-peddling schemes, according to information obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). The confidential human sources have “provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden” dating back to Joe’s time as vice president, Fox News reported. Those confidential human sources were reportedly managed by multiple FBI field offices across the nation. Their investigations were eventually thwarted by a FBI task force within the Washington Field Office, which falsely...

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has reportedly obtained information indicating that more than 40 confidential human sources have provided information to federal law enforcement about “criminal” activity involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and his brother James. Fox News reported that FBI field offices across the U.S. were “provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden.” Grassley said that an FBI task force inside the Washington Field Office shut down “reporting and information from those sources by falsely discrediting the information as foreign disinformation,” the report said. The result was that a lot...

"Winning Iowa requires understanding Grassley." Gov. Ron DeSantis is back in Iowa, following the footsteps of one of the state’s most influential politicians. The DeSantis campaign told media Saturday night that the GOP candidate is back on track to go “full Grassley,” an homage to the strategy employed by U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, a longtime sitting Republican lawmaker from Iowa. The game plan? Visit all 99 counties in Iowa before the caucuses. Grassley has a legacy of spending time in each county on a yearly basis, and as the longest serving Republican in the Senate, it’s a no-brainer for GOP...

Texas Senator Ted Cruz says it will take "the full Grassley" to win Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses in January, 2016. Red Oak was a southwest Iowa stop in his campaign Friday afternoon. More than 70 people attended Cruz's appearance at the Red Coach Inn. And, the Republican presidential candidate began his presentation by praising a "favorite daughter"--Iowa Senator Joni Ernst of Red Oak. "Let me tell you something, to the men and women of Red Oak, and the men and women of Iowa," said Cruz, "thank you for sending Joni to the U.S. Senate. Joni is a rock star, and I've...

Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Mr. Rosenstein, According to news reports, during the 2016 presidential election, “Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump” and did so by “disseminat[ing] documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter…”1 Ukrainian officials also reportedly “helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.”2 At the center of this plan was Alexandra Chalupa, described by reports as a Ukrainian-American operative “who...

Immediately after the announcement by Attorney General Merrick Garland that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss had requested to be appointed Special Counsel, news cameras caught up with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) at the Iowa State Fair for his take. Fox News didn’t catch the first few words of his statement, but here is a transcription of the rest:…[a] year ago we sent a letter saying we should have a Special Counsel. So the short answer to your question is, it’s about time. On the other hand, I have some question about Weiss doing it, because Johnson and I sent all...

This week Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) released a previously hidden unclassified FBI document, known as an FD-1023, outlining how the Biden business syndicate extracted $10 million from a Ukrainian firm in exchange for protection services to be provided by then vice-president Joe Biden. That "protection" turned out to be engineering the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma Holdings--the energy firm that was paying Hunter Biden $83,000 a month to serve on its board of directors. White House spokesperson Ian Sams accused Grassley of "playing shameless, dishonest politics and refusing to let truth get in the way. The...

After attempts from the Biden administration to restrict access to the FBI-generated FD-1023 form at the center of allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden was engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national, U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released the full document on Thursday afternoon to finally give the American people the full picture created by the unclassified document. The document authorized for release to Grassley and House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has few redactions and provides the most information on these allegations against Biden to date. After releasing the FBI document, Grassley asked again: "What did...

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Thursday released the now-infamous FBI form that contains a witness's account of President Joe Biden allegedly partaking in a bribery scheme when he was vice president. Grassley published in full the lightly redacted FD-1023 form, the contents of which several congressional Republicans have seen but that the public has not. The Iowa Republican accused the FBI in an accompanying statement of seeking to “obfuscate and redact” it before the bureau ultimately cooperated with congressional Republicans to show it to them. “The American people can now read this document for themselves, without the filter of politicians...

Grassley highlighted the numerous ways Delaware Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf appeared to have obstructed the investigation into Hunter Biden’s potentially criminal business activities. Delaware assistant U.S. attorney was briefed in October 2020 that a confidential human source (CHS) had reported Hunter and Joe Biden each received $5 million in bribes, Sen. Chuck Grassley revealed Sunday in a letter to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. A source familiar with that briefing has now confirmed to The Federalist that the Pittsburgh office told the Delaware office the CHS’s reporting appeared credible and merited further investigation. That added detail increases the significance...

Last week, I came to the Senate Floor to give a speech about the Biden Justice Department and FBI playing games with the American people by hiding the FBI-generated 1023 document from Congress. Director Wray was going to be held in contempt for refusing to produce the 1023 that I told Chairman Comer about. Then, instead of contempt, the FBI committed to showing the 1023 and related documents to Congress. So, the FBI showed but didn’t provide possession of that 1023 to the House Oversight Committee last week. As the public knows that 1023 involves an alleged bribery scheme between...

"These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot," Grassley said. Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley on Monday announced that the foreign national who allegedly bribed then-former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter kept recordings of his conversations with each as an "insurance policy." "The 1023 produced to that House Committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them. Seventeen total recordings," Grassley said on the Senate floor. Fifteen audio...
