โ€˜The FBI is attempting a coverup, and Democrats are doing their bidding by lying to the American people,โ€™ Rep. James Comer told The Federalist.

Itโ€™s not true. It wasnโ€™t closed down,โ€ William Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday in response to Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskinโ€™s claim that the former attorney general and his โ€œhandpicked prosecutorโ€ had ended an investigation into a confidential human sourceโ€™s allegation that Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. โ€œOn the contrary,โ€ Barr stressed, โ€œit was sent to Delaware for further investigation.โ€

Former Attorney General Barr went on the record with The Federalist following statements Raskin made to the press Monday afternoon. Soon after attending a closed-door meeting with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and the FBI โ€” at which lawmakers reviewed the FD-1023 form summarizing a CHSโ€™s detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions โ€” Raskin spoke to the media. 

โ€œWhat I learned,โ€ Raskin claimed, โ€œwas that Attorney General Barr named Scott Brady, who was the U.S. attorney for Western Pennsylvania, to head up a group of prosecutors who would look into all the allegations related to Ukraine.โ€

โ€œAfter Rudy Giuliani surfaced these allegations,โ€ Raskin continued, Bradyโ€™s team looked into the FD-1023 and โ€œin August determined that there was no grounds to escalate from an initial assessment to a preliminary investigation,โ€ and so โ€œthey called an end to the investigation.โ€ 

The Maryland Democrat then reiterated his claim that this was โ€œunder Attorney General William Barr and his handpicked prosecutor Mr. Brady, who was a Trump appointee.โ€ โ€œThey were the ones who decidedโ€ there were no further grounds for investigation, Raskinโ€™s claimed, adding: โ€œIf there is a complaint, it is with Attorney General William Barr, the Trump Justice Department, and the team that the Trump administration appointed to look into it.โ€
