Two Former Senior FBI Officials Arrested For Lying to Congress About Hunter Biden Investigation

Two former senior FBI officials were arrested and charged with lying to Congress about their involvement in the Hunter Biden investigation.

Nikki Cole Floris, 46, of Alexandria, Virginia, and Bradley Benavides, 56, of Aiken, South Carolina, were taken into custody and charged with making false statements about the Hunter Biden laptop investigation.

“Evidence shows that Floris discussed the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden routinely for more than a year both within the FITF and with others in the FBI. Contrary to his assertion that he learned of the Hunter Biden laptop from Wikipedia, Benavides regularly discussed the laptop with FBI officials in the leadup to the 2020 election,” the DOJ said.

Full statement from Kash Patel:

Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden.

The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.

Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony.

Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF.

Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law.

The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.

Impeaching Impeachment: Declassified memos challenge key witness testimony from 2019 Trump case

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, one of the Democrats’ star witnesses in their first impeachment of Donald Trump, received repeated briefings, emails and memos related to the Ukrainian energy company that employed Hunter Biden, according to declassified documents that directly conflict with her and other witnesses’ testimony in the failed bid seven years ago to remove the president from office.

The documents released Friday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show Yovanovitch and her aides were apprised of corruption concerns about Burisma Holdings, efforts by the company to repair its image or curry U.S. favor that would not “pass The Washington Post sniff test” and even a bid to get the Trump administration to approve a U.S. visa for Burisma’s controversial owner Mykola Zlochevsky, who was banned from American travel.

The memos provide a stark contrast to Yovanovitch’s testimony that the Biden-Burisma matter “just wasn’t a big deal” during her tenure as ambassador, and that she wasn’t briefed by staff on the issues surrounding Joe Biden’s son except for an initial briefing book during her 2016 Senate confirmation and what she read in the news media.

Yovanovitch and her top aides engaged in dozens of communications between 2016 and 2019 about Burisma, Hunter Biden, Zlochevsky and efforts by their legal defense teams and lobbyists to make investigations go away or curry favor for a company the State Department deemed to be corrupt, according to the documents the task force released, and additional memos obtained by Just the News under open records litigation.

A newly declassified email between Yovanovitch and her top deputy in Kyiv, George Kent, also directly challenges the primary argument Democrats made at the late 2019 House impeachment, namely that Hunter Biden’s relationship with Burisma had no impact on U.S. policy, and therefore it was wrong for Trump to seek investigations into the Burisma scandal.

“The real issue to my mind was that someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter’s presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine b/c Ukrainians heard one message from us and then saw another set of behavior with the family association with a known corrupt figure whose company was known for not playing by the rules,” Kent wrote to Yovanovitch on Nov. 22, 2016.

Hunter Biden Blames Liquidity, “Predatory Snipers” For LAPTOP Memecoin Collapse

As you may have seen, the LAPTOP memecoin saw a sharp swing in token price during its first hours of trading.

The headlines are all the same.

Token down 99%. Rug pull. Biden Crime Family. The list goes on.

This is far from the truth.

The reality is that available liquidity could not sustain the strong level of interest at launch. Technical issues coupled with predatory “snipers”, who seek to beat liquidity providers to market, caused a spike in price, which has since stabilized to healthy levels.

The team’s allocation is locked. Nobody on our side sold, and nobody could have. I, personally, have not made a single dollar.

I’m used to legacy news and social media trolls spinning realities to fit their own narrative.

The fully diluted valuation of the token is over $1 billion. And we’re actively working on the best solutions to optimize liquidity and continue engaging my community.

We gave free tokens to those who lost on Trump’s memecoin. 

Somehow the media is painting that as a “failure”.

This journey is far from over. We built this community for the long game, and that’s exactly how we’re playing it. I’m going to keep doing what I do best: ignoring the noise, and reclaiming the narrative.

Maybe he can finally get back to his lucrative art career?

Hunter Biden says potential presidential run would focus on addiction treatment for Americans

Former President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden said in an interview that he “may have to” run for president in 2028, however he maintained that he had not made up his mind.  

On an episode of “The Cats Roundtable” released on Sunday, radio host John Catsimatidis asked Biden, 56, if he had any plans to run for president.

“If I get your endorsement, I may have to,” he told Catsimatidis.

Pressed on the same question earlier, the former president’s son said, “I haven’t made up my mind.”

In the interview, Biden explained that if he were to run, his presidential campaign would focus on addiction treatment and awareness for Americans.

“The things I care most about is the 50 million Americans that are still suffering with their addictions,” Biden remarked.

When asked about his qualifications to run for office, Biden cited the United States Constitution.

“Here is my qualification for becoming president, if you believe in the Constitution of the United States of America that you swear to uphold and protect. I want the next president to commit to one thing: to adhering to the rule of law,” he said.

The remark stands in sharp contrast to Biden’s own legal history, coming just months after his father granted him a full and unconditional pardon in December 2024 — wiping away federal gun and tax convictions before sentencing.

Biden, who has spoken openly about his own addiction and once referred to himself as a “former crackhead,” also faced allegations that he traded on his father’s vice presidency for family enrichment. The scandal erupted after he left a laptop to be repaired at a local shop, where the owner ultimately turned it over to the FBI after discovering the alarming contents.

The device reportedly contained numerous explicit photos and videos documenting drug use and sexual acts, and it later served as evidence in his federal gun and tax trials.

Pointing to potential future leaders during the interview, Biden praised Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D-Ky.) and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D-Ill.), declaring, “The truth of the matter is that I think we have an incredible bench,” before adding, “I love Gavin Newsom, personally.”

Hunter Biden (and his laptop) enter the cryptosphere with new meme coin

The son of former President Joe Biden is launching a meme coin that takes aim at his family’s nemesis, Donald Trump. And he’s naming it for the most-infamous personal computer in American political history.

Yes, Hunter Biden’s laptop will live on. At least on the blockchain.

Biden’s token will trade under the ticker, $LAPTOP, and launch Sept. 9 on Base, a digital ledger built by Coinbase Global, the largest U.S. crypto exchange, people familiar with the matter said.

The token’s name is inspired by the sensation that followed the public’s discovery of Biden’s former computer in 2020. The contents of that device, from messages that documented his foreign business dealings to nude photos of the president’s son doing drugs, were eventually laid bare. And the leaks forged a cottage industry of investigations, conspiracies—and digital media content.

On Monday, Biden posted on X a short video clip of his laptop being referenced by different media outlets, teasing the launch of his meme coin.

Meme coins carry no intrinsic value, and most tumble in price within days or even hours after their launch. But some of the tokens have remained relevant thanks to their affiliations with a procession of celebrities, personalities and politicians who issued them to cash in on their fame. Coins tied to President Trump, first lady Melania Trump and former New York Mayor Eric Adams rocketed in value when they launched, only to crash within days.Expand article logo  Continue reading

In launching $LAPTOP, Hunter Biden will bring his weekslong media blitz to the cryptosphere. The 56-year-old has been seen and heard everywhere of late—podcasts, news shows and Substack essays—and at times alongside right-wing provocateurs such as Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. He has opened up on his past troubles, present grievances, and at times promoted the virtues of crypto.

Crackhead Hunter Biden Admits He Used Burisma Cash to Fund His Drug Binges — Joe Biden ‘Showed Up’ at His DC Crack Den With a Secret Service Motorcade

Hunter Biden just confessed that the millions he collected from the corrupt Ukrainian energy giant Burisma didn’t just sit in some consulting account. He used that foreign cash to keep his crack pipe lit.

And while he was living in a Washington, D.C. drug den with a homeless crack dealer nicknamed “Bicycles,” his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, rolled up in a taxpayer-funded motorcade of six SUVs, Secret Service agents at his side, and knocked on the door, Page Six reported.

Hunter dropped the details on the addiction podcast Dopey with host Dave Manheim. When asked how he never went broke during years of crack, prostitutes, luxury bungalows at the Chateau Marmont, and motel benders, Hunter didn’t hesitate.

“I never went broke… Well, I still had the residual. Like for instance, I still was on the board of Burisma.”

He stayed on that board for years after his father left the vice presidency. The requirement? Show up four times a year.

“Even when I was a crack addict and out of my mind, I could show up for four meetings a year,” Hunter bragged.

Ukrainian Prosecutor Joe Biden FIRED for Investigating Hunter’s Burisma Just Exposed $350 BILLION in U.S. Taxpayer Dollars Meant for Ukraine Going Straight to Globalist Networks

Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, the official Joe Biden publicly threatened and forced out of office in 2016, claims in his book Biden’s Corruption and War: The True Story of the 1 Billion Dollar Prosecutor that hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars connected to Ukraine were recycled through political interests and “globalist networks.”

According to a Blaze Media column citing Shokin’s first-person account, massive sums of U.S. aid intended for Ukraine were recycled through political and globalist networks.

He alleges $350 billion in American taxpayer money was diverted into these opaque channels amid the chaos of war. Arms deals were tainted by corruption.

Wartime disorder allegedly facilitated trafficking of Ukrainian women and children. The book paints the conflict itself as a vehicle for enrichment and influence far beyond the battlefield.

Shokin was the prosecutor general investigating Mykola Zlochevsky and Burisma Holdings, the same corrupt energy company that put Hunter Biden on its board and paid him an eye-watering salary for “expertise” he didn’t have.

Shokin says his office was moving against the company, seizing assets, and getting uncomfortably close to the Biden family connections. That’s when the pressure campaign from Washington intensified.

Joe Biden later famously boasted about it on video: he told Ukrainian officials they weren’t getting the billion dollars unless the prosecutor was gone. “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.”

US Oil & Gas Association Drops in On Hunter Biden with Epic Takedown

The US Oil & Gas Association dropped in on Hunter Biden in an epic takedown after the former ‘Burisma executive’ trashed President Trump.

Hunter Biden on Friday went after Chevron and accused President Trump of ‘making big oil great again.’

“Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up 400% in a year. Their biggest quarter ever. Exxon made $14.5 billion. You paid for all of it at the pump,” Hunter Biden said.

“Say what you want about Trump. He’s making something great again. And who’s more deserving than Big Oil,” Hunter said.

The US Oil & Gas Association slammed Hunter Biden and mocked him for his previous “work” in foreign oil.

Hunter Biden was paid more than $80,000 per month to sit on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company, despite having zero knowledge in the field. Hunter Biden enjoyed this lucrative gig while his then-US Vice President dad Joe Biden was tasked to handle Ukraine.

Disgraced Hunter Biden Believes the Biggest Problem in America Is Not the ‘Oligarchy,’ but the ‘Gay Mafia Largely Republican’ Running Washington, D.C.

In yet another unhinged rant, disgraced Hunter Biden declared on the “I’ve Had It” podcast that the biggest problem facing America isn’t oligarchs, inflation, open borders, or the wreckage of his father’s presidency, it’s a secret “closetocracy” of closeted gay Republicans allegedly running Washington D.C.

The former crack addict delivered the wild accusation with a straight face, claiming he “lived there for 20 years” and “knows for certain.”

Hunter Biden:
“I believe that the biggest problem in America, as in Washington, D.C., with the federal government, is not the oligarchy. It’s the closetocracy, as I call it. It is. And I’m being totally serious.

Everybody knows there is this closeted gay mafia, largely Republican, that exists in Washington, D.C., and everybody knows every single one of them who’s gay.

And so it’s—what I believe, the only reason that is relevant, is because I believe that internal conflict creates so much vitriol inside a person that they take it out on the rest of the world. And they do. So what they do is, their whole lives, they’ve been closeted, and so you have this black ball inside yourself, this blackened heart, because you can’t be who you want to be.

Washington D.C. has been under near-total Democrat control for decades. A Democrat mayor, Democrat city council, and a federal bureaucracy that overwhelmingly leans left.

Yet Hunter Biden wants Americans to believe the real power behind the curtain is some phantom “largely Republican” gay mafia pulling the strings and spreading “vitriol.”

This is rich coming from the Biden crime family. The same family that has spent years shielding Hunter from accountability while the media and Big Tech colluded to bury the laptop story. The same family that has presided over chaos at the border, lawfare against conservatives, and the erosion of American energy independence.

UNBELIEVABLE! Hunter Biden SLAMS Merrick Garland for Not Aggressively Prosecuting More Conservatives Following January 6: ‘The Single Greatest Mistake of My Father’s Administration

Disgraced Hunter Biden declared that what he considers the “single greatest mistake” of his father’s administration was Attorney General Merrick Garland’s failure to move more aggressively against conservatives following January 6.

The comments came during Hunter Biden’s appearance on the “I’ve Had It” podcast hosted by Jennifer Welch, where he launched into an extended attack on Garland while arguing the Biden Justice Department should have opened sweeping investigations much earlier.

“The single greatest mistake of my father’s administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland,” Hunter Biden said.

Hunter acknowledged that, ultimately, responsibility rested with then-President Joe Biden because he appointed Garland.

“The buck has to stop with my dad. He was the president. He chose him,” Hunter said.

He tried to thread the needle by claiming the “buck stops with my dad” because Joe Biden chose Garland, but quickly pivoted to the usual “church and state” separation nonsense at the DOJ, while simultaneously complaining that Garland didn’t go hard enough after conservatives from the very beginning.

Hunter then launched into a full-throated defense of the J6 “insurrection” hoax, claiming it was a “concerted and planned effort” that began before the 2020 election, and bizarrely citing alleged Steve Bannon tapes from Mother Jones talking to Miles Guo the day before the election about the laptop and challenging the election results.
