President Joe Biden appeared to laugh at a reporter’s question on possible recordings of his conversations with a Burisma executive.
As the president was leaving the White House East Room following an event, New York Post reporter Steven Nelson tried to shout out a couple of questions.
“Are there tapes that you accepted bribes, President Biden? Is that true?” the journalist asked; valid questions given the heavy allegations that have been levied against the leader of the free world.
Instead of answering, Biden stopped, turned around to face the reporter, and was seen grinning. He also appeared to be chuckling to himself but did not actually give any sort of answer. He shook his head as he headed back on his way out of the room.

The Bidens allegedly “coerced” a foreign national to pay them $10 million in bribes, according to individuals familiar with the investigation into the FBI’s handling of the FD-1023 confidential human source report. What, if anything, agents did to investigate these explosive claims remains unknown, however, with sources telling The Federalist the FBI continues to stonewall.
On Monday, Sen. Chuck Grassley revealed a foreign national — identified by individuals with knowledge of the matter as Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky — allegedly possessed 17 recordings implicating the Bidens in a pay-to-play scandal. While 15 of the audio recordings consisted of phone calls between Zlochevsky and Hunter Biden, two were of calls the Ukrainian had with then-Vice President Joe Biden, according to the FD-1023.
The Federalist has now learned the FD-1023 reported the CHS saying the Bidens “coerced” Zlochevsky to pay the bribes. Sources familiar with the investigation also explained the context of Zlochevsky’s statements, and that context further bolsters the CHS’s reporting.
