The plot of the Biden family’s shady business dealings continues to thicken, one that Townhall has covered extensively. Now, there’s even more information about the alleged bribery pay-for-action ploy that VP Biden profited off of to, supposedly, the tune of $5 million.

In another twist, it turns out the foreign national with whom Joe Biden allegedly took bribe money from may be an asset of Russia’s foreign intelligence service (SVR).

According to exclusive reporting from our sister site RedState, “Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who allegedly paid a total of $10 million in bribes to Joe and Hunter Biden in 2015 and 2016 in exchange for then-Vice President Joe Biden’s assistance in getting Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired, is believed to be an asset of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) by the United States intelligence community, according to a national security source speaking to RedState on condition of anonymity.” 

As our colleague Jen Van Laar reported, this source explained that the U.S. intel community has “a high degree of confidence in their assessment of Zlochevsky as SVR.” 

What’s more, RedState’s source explained that this “is not a new assessment” and “the intelligence community under Obama knew this, and Obama was briefed on it.”
