Scott Brady, investigating Biden-Ukraine ties, faced intense scrutiny, resistance from FBI top brass – Washington Times
The U.S. attorney assigned to look into the Biden family s deals in Ukraine, including allegations of pocketing a $10 million bribe, told House lawmakers that the Justice Department and FBI significantly hobbled his investigation.
Scott Brady, who was the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, described to lawmakers in a closed-door interview on Monday that the top brass at the FBI showed intense interest in his investigation of the Bidens ties to a Ukrainian energy company. The bureau, he said, tried to slow down or halt his investigation at every turn.
According to a transcript reviewed by The Washington Times, Mr. Brady said the FBI special agents he assigned to work on the investigation were frequently stalled or blocked from pursuing the case by top officials at FBI headquarters.
At one point, his team was blocked from advancing the investigation for five months.
It was incredibly challenging, and we did not make much progress at all, said Mr. Brady, who resigned as U.S. attorney in February 2021.
Not surprising.
