US conservatives claim FBI Accused of Covering Up Criminal Information Related to Biden Family Given By 40 Informants

FBI Accused of Covering Up ‘Criminal Information’ Related to Biden Family Given By 40 Informants..

The FBI collected intelligence from more than 40 confidential sources regarding potential misconduct by members of the Biden family. 

However, the FBI’s Washington office made efforts to suppress this information.

Senator Grassley’s letter, dated October 24 and addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, highlights that the FBI received “criminal information” from a network of over 40 confidential sources, which pertained to President Joe Biden, his brother James Biden, and his son Hunter Biden. 

The letter further states that “multiple credible whistleblowers” informed Senator Grassley that both the Justice Department (DOJ) and the FBI attempted to stifle investigative efforts related to the Biden family.

According to papers filed with the Court, from August 2017, and continuing through his retirement from the FBI in September 2018, McGonigal concealed from the FBI the nature of his relationship with a former foreign security officer and businessperson who had ongoing business interests in foreign countries and before foreign governments. Specifically, McGonigal received at least $225,000 in cash from the individual and traveled abroad with the individual and met with foreign nationals. The individual later served as an FBI source in a criminal investigation involving foreign political lobbying over which McGonigal had official supervisory responsibility.

The charge carries a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison. The maximum statutory sentence for federal offenses is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes. The court will determine the actual sentence based on the advisory Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

            This case is being investigated by the FBI’s Los Angeles and Washington Field Offices.

            The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Elizabeth Aloi and Stuart D. Allen, and former Assistant United States Attorney Michael Friedman of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, with assistance from Deputy Chief Evan N. Turgeon of the DOJ’s National Security Division Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, and the Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs.
