U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz accused the Federal Bureau of Investigations of covering up an alleged bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son, Hunter Biden, and an executive of a Ukranian natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, of which Hunter was a board member.
“Every day when I’m home in Texas I hear from Texans who are deeply dismayed about the growing politicization, weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI," Cruz said at a Senate Judiciary hearing on Tuesday. "If you are not, everyone of you should be deeply concerned about the damage being done about the integrity of the institutions in which you operate.”
Cruz was directly addressing members of the intelligence community called to testify about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Among them was Paul Abbate, Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whom Cruz grilled “about the politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI … which is profoundly damaging to the rule of law in our nation.”
Last month, a FBI whistleblower came forward with an FD-1023 report claiming when President Joe Biden was vice president in the Obama administration, he and his family members were involved in a $5 million bribery scheme.
Biden has brushed off the allegations, telling critics to “show me the money.”
