Da FBI briefet kontrollkomiteen i Representantenes hus om dokumentet som viser at Biden som visepresident mottok fem millioner dollar i bestikkelser, kom det frem at FBI fryktet for informantens liv hvis identiteten kom ut. Det sier representanten Anna Paulina Luna.

«Just left meeting for House Oversight. The [FBI] is afraid their informant will be killed if unmasked, based on the info he has brought forward about the Biden family,» Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., wrote on Twitter following a closed briefing by the FBI for the committee.

Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, were approached by the informant last month alleging that the FBI was in possession of a document — an FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020 — which explicitly detailed information provided by a confidential human source alleging Biden, while serving as vice president, was involved in a $5 million criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national in exchange for influence over policy decisions.

Etter mye tautrekking gikk FBI til slutt med på å la hele kontrollkomiteen se dokumentet. Komiteformann James Comer har truet FBI-sjef Christopher Wray med forakt for Kongressen, og Speaker of the House bekreftet at en slik prosess er satt i gang.
