According to the allegation in the FD-1023, an informant who the FBI described as “highly credible,” provided information about meetings that took place as early as 2015.

The informant shared information about a 2016 meeting allegedly involving Mykola Zlochevsky, the CEO of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, who claimed he made two $5 million payments to “the Bidens.” However, he did not specify which family members.

“It costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden,” Zlochevsky allegedly told the informant.

The FBI noted the informant could not “provide any further opinion as the veracity” of the allegations.

CNN points out that the meeting would have taken place as Hunter Biden was serving on the board of Burisma and making $50,000 a month. However, there has been no evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his work or received a payment.

The FBI has criticized the release of the document and claimed it “unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source.”

Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Ian Sams said in a statement to CNN the allegations have been “debunked for years.”
