Ukrainian energy company executive involved in alleged Biden bribery scheme has secret recordings of Hunter and Joe, Sen. Grassley says

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said that a Ukrainian energy company executive involved in the alleged Biden bribery scheme has secret audio recordings of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.

Grassley, who is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Monday that the Burisma executive has a total of 17 secret recordings and that two of them are with Joe Biden, who was vice president under former President Barack Obama at the time.

The other 15 recordings were of conversations with Hunter Biden.

Grassley made the claims in a speech on the floor of the Senate.

Republicans have been trying to build a case to prove that the Biden family has sold political favors as part of a criminal corruption scheme.

He also said that the Burisma executive made the recordings as a kind of "insurance policy" in case the official got into a "tight spot."

Grassley highlighted the apparent double standard between treatment of the Biden family by the Justice Department and that of former President Donald Trump.

"Based on the facts known to the Congress and the public, it's clear that the Justice Department, the FBI, haven't nearly had the same laser focus on the Biden family," said Grassley on the Senate floor.

"Special counsel Jack Smith has used a recording against former President Trump," he added. "Well, what is U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to the high-stakes bribery scheme?"

Trump has been indicted for charges related to his holding of documents at Mar-a-Lago from his time as president.
