White House Dismisses Alleged Joe Biden Bribery Scheme After Comer Demands FBI DocumentWendell Husebø 4 May 2023
The White House has tried to downplay the severity of Wednesday’s bombshell report of an alleged criminal bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden by pointing to the establishment media’s coverage of the congressional inquiry into the scandal.
Ian Sams, a spokesperson hired to counter Congress’s oversight and investigations, did not outright deny the merits of the bombshell report but instead issued statements ripping media’s coverage of the letter by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
The lawmakers announced Comer is compelling the FBI for records alleging a criminal scheme involving Joe Biden, a subpoena obtained by Breitbart News shows. The document, an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Biden and a foreign national.
But Sams ignored the question of whether the form actually exists and preferred to center his condemnation of the bombshell report on the establishment media, many of the same news organizations that suggested Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” was likely Russian disinformation.
A recent poll found that six out of ten Americans say the establishment media are to blame for misinformation. A February poll found 50 percent of Americans say the national media intend to mislead, misinform, and persuade the public.
“How this innuendo is being covered AP: ‘The lawmakers used the word ‘alleged’ three times in the opening paragraph’ ‘offer no evidence of the veracity of the accusations or any details,'” Sams quoted the Associated Press’ coverage.
