Republicans Delete Reference To FBI Informant From Impeachment Interview Request Letter
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — Republicans deleted a reference to a discredited FBI informant in a letter they sent on Tuesday to a potential witness in their impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. Republican interview request letters typically spell out the basis for their investigation, including with a paragraph describing a credible confidential human source’s conversations with a Ukrainian gas company executive about bribing Biden. On Tuesday, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer included the paragraph about the informant in an interview request letter to former State Department official Amos Hochstein. As Republicans put it in their many letters requesting interviews, “According to this confidential human source, who has been described as ‘highly credible,’ Burisma executives hired Hunter Biden to ‘protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.’” Smirnov told his FBI handler that Zlochevsky said he’d used secret channels to send the money and that it would take investigators years to put the pieces together.
