Whistleblower Alleges FBI Tried to Bury Evidence of Wrongdoing by Biden Family
In a stunning revelation, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has obtained whistleblower information suggesting that the FBI collected intelligence from over 40 human sources regarding potential misconduct by members of the Biden family, only to have its Washington office attempt to suppress it.
According to an October 24 letter from Grassley to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, the FBI received “criminal information” about President Joe Biden, his brother James Biden, and his son Hunter Biden from a network of confidential sources.
Multiple credible whistleblowers have informed Grassley that both the Justice Department (DOJ) and the FBI sought to halt investigative activity related to the Biden family, as detailed in the letter obtained by The Epoch Times.
Some of these efforts to downplay or bury leads into the Biden family were justified as “foreign disinformation,” according to Grassley.
Specifically, Grassley learned that an FBI task force within the Washington Field Office attempted to discredit and suppress information from confidential human sources by falsely labeling it as foreign disinformation.
President Joe Biden has consistently denied any wrongdoing or involvement in his family’s business affairs.
The Epoch Times has reached out to the FBI and DOJ for comment, with the FBI confirming receipt of Grassley’s letter but declining to comment.

Negative Hunter Biden Info ‘Improperly’ Discredited
According to Grassley’s letter, FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten deemed some information provided by confidential human sources as disinformation, leading an FBI HQ team to discredit negative information about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, causing investigative activity to cease.
Grassley’s letter also highlights Auten’s previous misconduct as the FBI’s top Russian analyst, as detailed in a report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Auten was found to have cut corners in verifying the contents of the infamous Steele Dossier, a collection of salacious allegations created for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Grassley’s letter, based on years of investigation and information from multiple whistleblowers, suggests a significant political bias influencing decision-making within the FBI and DOJ, particularly regarding investigations into the Biden family.
Grassley has obtained a list of 25 FBI and DOJ personnel involved in blocking or delaying Biden family investigations, including those who downplayed information from the 40 FBI informants. He plans to interview these individuals and has requested various records from the FBI and DOJ.

Additionally, an IRS whistleblower informed the House Ways and Means Committee that Hunter Biden demanded $10 million from CEFC in exchange for promised services from “the Bidens.”
How does Grassley’s call for an investigation into the handling of the Biden family investigation reflect the importance of transparency and accountability in government?
Sley writes that Auten’s actions were “improper” and goes on to say that “it is imperative that the FBI root out and address any misconduct within its ranks.” Grassley is calling for an investigation into the matter and requesting a briefing from the FBI and DOJ to discuss the handling of the Biden family investigation.
The allegations of the FBI trying to bury evidence of wrongdoing by the Biden family are particularly troubling given the importance of transparency and accountability in government. If true, it raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigative process and the potential for political bias within the FBI.
This news comes amidst a highly contentious political environment, with tensions between Republicans and Democrats running high. The Biden family has long been the subject of scrutiny and allegations of misconduct, particularly regarding their business dealings. These allegations gained significant media attention during the 2020 presidential campaign but were largely dismissed by mainstream media outlets.
The role of whistleblowers in bringing forth information about potential wrongdoing cannot be understated. Whistleblowers often face significant personal and professional risks in exposing misconduct, yet their actions are essential for holding those in power accountable. It is therefore crucial that whistleblowers are protected and their claims thoroughly investigated.
The FBI has faced substantial criticism in recent years, particularly regarding its handling of high-profile investigations. Accusations of bias and political interference have cast doubt on the bureau’s ability to conduct impartial investigations. This latest revelation only adds fuel to the fire and further erodes public trust in these institutions.
It is important to note that these allegations are currently unproven, and further investigation is needed to ascertain their validity. However, the seriousness of the claims underscores the need for a thorough and unbiased review of the FBI’s actions regarding the Biden family investigation. The American people deserve transparency and accountability from their government, and any attempt to suppress or bury evidence of wrongdoing must be taken seriously and addressed promptly.
The outcome of this investigation will undoubtedly have significant implications for the public’s perception of the Biden administration and the FBI. The allegations of wrongdoing, if proven true, could tarnish the reputation not only of President Biden but also of the FBI as an institution.
It is now up to the relevant authorities, including the DOJ and FBI, to conduct a timely and thorough investigation into these allegations. The truth must be brought to light, and those responsible for any improper actions must be held accountable. Only then can the American people have confidence in the integrity of their government and the institutions designed to serve and protect them.
Regardless of political affiliations, it is in the best interest of every citizen to support a fair and impartial examination of these allegations. The strength of any democracy lies in its commitment to accountability and the rule of law. The outcome of this investigation will be a test of these principles and will shape the nation’s perception of its leaders and institutions.
The importance of this issue cannot be understated. The American people deserve a government that operates in their best interests, free from corruption and wrongdoing. The allegations of the FBI attempting to bury evidence of misconduct by the Biden family strike at the core of this ideal. It is now up to the institutions responsible for upholding justice to demonstrate their commitment to the truth and act accordingly.
