Smirnov reached out to Grassley in 2022 to inform him about the FD-1023 document, which detailed the alleged bribery scheme.
The FD-1023 document includes Smirnov’s claims that Burisma executives paid $5 million to Joe Biden and $5 million to Hunter Biden, while Joe Biden was still in office as vice president. Smirnov also claims that the Bidens were paid so that Joe Biden could help to quash criminal investigation into Burisma being conducted by then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
The letter notes that the indictment “leaves many questions unanswered,” which includes,
“how the Justice Department and FBI could use this Confidential Human Source for approximately 14 years, pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars, use this information in investigations and prosecutions, and the ultimately determine he’s a liar.”
