Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called for an investigation into President Joe Biden during an interview over the weekend inlight of an FBI form that was released this week that outlined allegations of corruption against Biden.
The FBI-generated FD-1023 form, released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), alleges that Burisma co-founder and CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told a highly credible FBI confidential human source that he was “coerced” into paying Biden and his son Hunter each $5 million to get a Ukrainian investigation into his company shut down.
“I have avoided criticizing the President because I, you know, I’m trying to bring people together and and some of the vitriol, the poison that’s made politics so poisonous,” Kennedy told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“I think though the issues that are now coming up are worrying enough that we really need a real investigation of what happened,” he said. “I mean, these revelations about the, you know, where you have Burisma — which is a notoriously corrupt company that paid out apparently $10 million to Hunter and his dad — if that’s true, then it is really troubling.”
Kennedy said that in addition to the need for the allegation to be thoroughly investigated, Americans need to be worried about the politicization from federal law enforcement agencies.
“I think that that’s something that every American needs to worry about and our federal agencies, which used to be above politics, and now become weaponized as political instruments, and that, again, is another really damaging trend for our democracy,” he said.
